“I took a Mother and Baby Pilates and Boxercise class with Virginie for almost a whole year before I went back to work . Once the gym classes had finished I enjoyed the sessions so much that Virginie trained me and a friend in personal training sessions. Virginie has been a great trainer - I feel fitter and more toned than I have in years. She really knows how to build up post natal strength, as well as being good fun, flexible and great with the babies. If I can find a way to keep the personal training sessions going now I'm back at work I definitely will do - I miss them already!” (K. Stratford; Postnatal Strength & Recovery course and Small group PT)

“Virginie’s classes helped me so so much throughout my pregnancy, I looked forward to them every week. As a yoga teacher myself, the classes not only helped me keep my whole body strong and stable but informed my own personal practice in a way that I am sure helped keep me active right up until the day I gave birth. My recovery has also been incredibly quick, which I also attribute to the core support work I learned with Virginie. I can’t wait to start her post-natal class in September!” (L.Leachman; Postnatal Strength & Recovery course)

“I absolutely loved getting back into shape following my c-section, with Virginie's support and encouragement..I did two classroom based courses with my little one in tow and some Strong Mama sessions in the park..Virginie's breadth of knowledgeable really shows in how she is able to tailor exercises to your meet your individual needs and pace of development. I would highly recommend her classes!”

“Love 💖 training with Virginie after having my little girl - she’s an amazing trainer & so supportive. I always leave her classes happy and motivated to be a strong mama” (C. Lumb; Postnatal Strength & Recovery course 2018)

“I loved the Post Natal Strong Mama Strength Training with Virginie so much so that I have booked to do the course again in September. I looked forward to the class every week (not something that happens often with exercise classes!) Virginie is a wonderful teacher who is sensitive to each students needs and levels of fitness. She makes the classes fun, interesting and I always left the class feeling great. Being able to take your baby along really helps if you have no child care available to you and if you need to stop to feed the baby Virginie always adapts the exercise so you aren't missing out. I would thoroughly recommend this class for any post natal mama”. (L. Hounsome; Postnatal Strength & Recovery course)

“Have absolutely loved this course and signed up for another 6 weeks! Virginie has a great breadth of knowledge and such a clear way of explaining the exercises, helping me discover, rediscover and build muscles. It's been fun, comfortable to bring my baby too and left me with a positive attitude about my body, really can-do!” (E. Williams; Postnatal Strength & Recovery course)

“Virginie’s classes were a real turning point in my journey as a Mum. Virginie’s wisdom, encouragement, patience and kindness have been a hugely positive influence on my physical and emotional strength in the last nearly 3 years. My Fridays just wouldn’t be the same without strong mama in the Park! Couldn’t recommend Virginie’s training more highly “ (K. Dalton; Strong Mama Pre & Postnatal classes)

“Amazing trainer and confidence builder - since post pregnancy classes and personal training with Virginie I have kept up regular exercise and even started cycling to work (8miles each way) 3 times a week. I am fitter and healthier and still enjoying getting to a class with her when I can. Thank you strong mama” (C. Covington; Strong Mama Postnatal classes & PT)

“I highly recommend Virginie's as a trainer; she is knowledgeable, passionate, patient, supportive, caring and her classes are great fun. Without her specialist post-natal knowledge I'm certain my pelvic floor would be in tatters! I attended Virginie's Strong Mama bootcamp classes in Victoria Park for the duration of my maternity leave and would've happily continued were it not for work getting in the way. I wish Virginie's outdoor classes could be prescribed to mothers suffering postnatal depression as they were key in managing my own pnd and anxiety”. (G. Abbott Strong Mama Postnatal classes)

“Virginie is very friendly and conscientious. She will assist to ensure your in the best position for the exercise and approachable if you have questions.
