Ive been training with Ginette every week since week 16 of my pregnancy, and Im fast approaching my due date! I couldnt be more grateful for her expertise and support; It was so important for me to continue strength training safely, and Ginette made that possible with fully personalised plans tailored to each stage of my pregnancy. Shes incredibly knowledgeable, encouraging, and always ensures I feel confident and strong. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and supportive trainer, especially during pregnancy!

When I was beginning to suffer from anxiety as a result of pelvic floor dysfunction I called Ginette. I was only 3 weeks postpartum after my second baby but I was miserable. Ginette is like every postpartum mum's fairy godmother! 8mths on and my ab separation is fixed and Tena Lady pads no longer reside in my cupboard! Best call I ever made. Thank you so much Ginette. I love coming to your classes, it truly is my "me" time, doing something positive for me, which, in turn, makes my family happy.x.x.

Ginette is a real specialist in this field who gives time and great dedication to her clients. She has helped me with a long standing problem, meaning I've avoided the need for dreaded surgery. The Studio is an amazing, built for purpose, beautiful place in a tranquil setting. A pleasure to visit for "me" time. Highly recommended.

Ginette is the best trainer I've ever had, plus she's friendly, approachable and always fun to spend time with. She has a great understanding of how the female body works especially after having a baby and combined this with *actually listening to me* to create a series of effective workouts which I've enjoyed doing (OK occasionally through gritted teeth, but that's the point, right). My pelvic floor is incredibly glad I found her.

I am currently going to the Lucina Fitness 'fit strong mumma' classes, and am really building my strength after having 2 babies. Ginette is friendly and encouraging, and has really helped me to work on my pelvic floor, abdominal separation, and fitness. She also offers advice on nutrition, exercise at home, posture, and getting through life as a busy mum! It's a joy to go to the classes each week and I'd recommend her to any pregnant or postnatal mumma :

I had a proper meltdown around my second trimester as my abs separated - Ginette came and helped me massively not just with fitness but with confidence and diet and many other aspects of pregnancy and being a new mum. I had PT sessions and her lovely gentle demeanour and friendship throughout my pregnancy and after Ralph was born will not be forgotten. She is a star.

I had classes with Ginette at Lucina fitness all through my recent twin pregnancy. They were of great benefit and I didn't even have the usual pregnancy backache which I had during my first single pregnancy. I slept really well after the classes and felt much more energised during the daytime. I am just waiting for a check up and then will start the post pregnancy class. Ginette is very knowledgable on exercise and also gives loads of tips on all aspects of pregnancy. A really great resource for mums to be.
