What's it like to be a fitEE?

Jane

"A message to older women, not in great condition. I’m 62 with osteoarthritis diagnosed in my early 40s. I’ve had one hip replaced and the other is declining which means I can’t run or jump. I have advanced osteoarthritis in one foot so I can’t bend my toes and it can be painful.

Before working with Esa I had convinced myself that I needed to be careful and lifting heavy probably wasn’t for me. I was frightened of making things worse and being in even more pain. I often had pain in lower back. Pains in my hips and side. I had a ‘I can’t do that’ attitude.

However forward nearly 6 months and I have a ‘I can certainly give that a go’ attitude. I’m still cautious. My lower back pain has gone completely. My hips are stronger, more flexible and pain free. I don’t get pains in my sides and I feel strong! My toes will never get better but Esa always has a work around. My posture strength and flexibility have all improved which makes day to day living so much easier!

I really wish older women knew that lifting heavy is amazing and everyone should give it go! It’s also really good fun!

"After having three c-sections and never doing any pelvic floor exercises and, to be honest, not even knowing if I even had a core, Esa helped me to find those things!

Esa is an incredible personal trainer and a lovely, patient and kind human being! I have never been one to enjoy exercise but having PT sessions with Esa - it's hard not to enjoy it! Esa always makes me feel at ease and has taught me so much.

I also attend Esa's group sessions and they make exercise fun! She has not only helped me to find my core and get my confidence back but I've also now got the bug for exercise!"

"Esa is an incredible personal trainer. She completely tunes in to your body, supporting you every step of the way. We mainly focused on strengthening my core and after five weeks I feel much more confident in how to exercise focusing on my breath and using the correct form from head to toe. I highly recommend Esa."

"I've been training with Esa for 18 sessions, and I couldn't be happier to have made the commitment! My goals were to build muscle, manage the weight gains that come with perimenopause, and just feel stronger overall. Thanks to Esa, I've made great progress - my energy levels have improved dramatically, and I feel stronger in every aspect of my daily life.

Esa tailors every session to my needs, knowing exactly when to push me hard and when to ease up. She had me lifting heavy weights in no time! Her fun, buoyant energy makes every workout enjoyable, and her conversations around health and fitness are always insightful and motivating.

I also love the convenience of training in her well-equipped at-home gym. I can't recommend Esa enough - she's 100% worth it!

It took me a while to find the right personal trainer and I am glad I took my time. Esa is stand out professional.

Esa will make sure you get your 60 mins worth by squeezing in more than you think you are capable of 🥵

I have posture issues and pain and seeing Esa weekly has made a huge difference, I am feeling stronger and the pain is decreasing week on week.

What I like most about the sessions is that Esa adapts to whats needed in the moment, she is a great listener. She will also push you to your limits whilst having a laugh.

"Esa’s group classes are a fun and friendly way to achieve your fitness goals. She keeps a close eye on your form and progress, and challenges you to challenge yourself. The classes are varied (as is the banging playlist) so you never get bored AND you can’t get lazy ;)"

Find Esa's group classes at West Beach Fitness in Whitstable and Top to Toe Fitness in Faversham.

"I've been training with Esa twice a week for 18 months and I couldn't love it more. I'm working on form, mobility and strength with Esa - and I'm motivated to take myself to the gym for another couple of workouts every week. It's a lot of fun to discover how strong I am.

Plantar fascitis appears to be a distant memory - it's really nice to not have achy old lady feet in the mornings!

I'm 54 and love that my lean mass and bone mass percentages are actually improving. Having a better body composition means I can really see that I have a smoother silhouette. My self esteem is improved and I feel happier about what I wear.

Esa gives me the kind of direct feedback and guidance I need. It’s been a real education to discover how these exercises should actually feel when they are done right!"
