Our Testimonials

I've been having PT sessions with Charlene since November last year. I love how Charlene's nursing background and approach to lifelong learning complements her coaching. She gives me a holistic approach to fitness, incorporating biology, nutrition & fitness in her sessions, her advice is always balanced and appropriate. Having a female PT makes a big difference for me, as she understands our differences and can share her own fitness journey with me. I know that I am in good hands and her coaching has built my confidence that I can reach my fitness goals. I am constantly learning something new from Charlene because of her drive to improve herself and upskill. Thank you Charlene for your dedication and expertise!

Serena
My husband and I have been training with Charlene weekly, and we couldn’t be more grateful for her guidance and support. I’ve been with her for over a year, and since January, my husband has joined me in our shared goal to get fitter together – to retire well and enjoy life, especially through travel, as we grow older. What makes Charlene truly special is her attentiveness and ability to tailor each session to suit our individual needs, even when we train together. She listens carefully, understands our different strengths and limitations, and adjusts the workout accordingly — we never feel like we’re just being put through a generic routine.
