Testimonials

TESTIMONIALS

“I met Jess as we went into lockdown and am so happy I did - the weekly classes provided an end to my work day, and her themes and focus areas were always just what I needed, gentle and challenging in the right proportions and always customisable. The private flexibility sessions she did with my husband increased his confidence and capability in stretching and flexibility. When I struggled with back pain, Jess worked through biomechanics assessments and then provided me with a tailored programme that helped me enormously, providing structure to my recovery. Her positive, compassionate energy and authentic style of teaching puts students at ease and I really appreciated that she took the time to answer questions, check in on how things were going, and was so willing to help. Additionally, she's also a master of her craft and a brilliant yogi with a desire to learn and grow - helping more people as she does, without losing her friendly and personable touch”

I absolutely loved my pregnancy yoga classes with Jess, I found her classes so helpful as I suffered with a bad back during my pregnancy. She would always tailor the class to my specific needs and I always felt so much better afterwards. Pregnancy yoga with Jess is a must if you have aches and pains during your pregnancy or even if you just feel tired, I would always feel so much more relaxed and energised afterwards.

“Jessica Parkinson became my personal trainer on the recommendation of my physio at a critical time. I had had an unsuccessful hip replacement operation and was facing a tricky revision as well as prostate surgery. Her well thought out programme and close observation of my efforts ensured my return to fitness that I had not enjoyed for 10 years” -

— Clive Rowe (Personal Training Client)

“Jessica Parkinson has been my personal trainer for 18 months, initially in person and then transitioning online due to COVID. I cannot praise her highly enough. I was introduced to Jessica by Nikki Franklin, an excellent physiotherapist who treated me after my hip replacement in September 2019 and her training sessions have been invaluable. Jessica is very professional. She prepares carefully for each session, keenly observes the exercises and is scrupulous about their execution. My fitness has progressed in leaps and bounds since she has been involved. Jessica is also very personable and has a delightful personality. She is patient and encouraging and has a great sense of humour”

— Gill Rowe (Personal Training Client)

“Jess has helped me build up not only my physical strength and flexibility but also my confidence in my abilities to do exercise. She is so incredibly positive and encouraging and will always find ways to work around or target the specific quirks of my body. Her online yoga classes are welcoming and grounding, giving me structure and motivation throughout my week”

— Natasha Truman (Personal Training & Yoga Client)

“It was really important for me to work with someone who had the same values as me. As someone who has recovered from an exercise addiction and an eating disorder I needed someone like Jess. Someone who focuses on longevity, form and self-love rather than aesthetics and the ‘no pain no gain’ culture. Jess’ knowledge of meditation and yoga complement her personal training and I am a client of hers in both areas. She really CARES as well. Whenever I have questions/wobbles/injuries she is always there for me going above and beyond. So many coaches/PT’s/Teachers don’t practice what they preach and Jess is the embodiment of all that she offers to others”
