Client Stories
People come to me for different reasons. Some want to feel stronger and move better. Some are returning after injury or surgery. Some want support and accountability, and others want to keep enjoying golf or yoga for years to come.
Here are some of their experiences of working with me.
Personal Training
“My journey with Ann has been brilliant and she is fantastic in working with my needs - combining the right amount of cardio, strength training, mobility and stretching. That is why she has been working with me for over 7 years. Ann truly understands what is necessary to help me meet my goals to enjoy life.
She has been very good at developing and executing a training regime that works towards my specific targets which we adapt as necessary throughout the year. Her expertise across the whole range of sports training, yoga, nutrition and fitness life coaching is exceptional and gives me the confidence that I am being coached and trained by a true professional.
She is always at hand for training and nutrition advice when needed and is really good in making me feel motivated and ready for the challenges of life.."

"Training with Ann has vastly improved my wellbeing, fitness, strength and balance, and as a bonus l have toned up and lost 10kg. Never felt better!"

"I'm doing personal training with Ann since 9 years now, but
I must say it is not PT in the common sense; it is really very personally tailored.
Ann is listening to the requirements of body and mind and adapts the training to its needs.
If you are looking for a coach and personal wellness trainer I would highly recommend her"

"Christopher and I started circuit training classes during lockdown from our home in Luxembourg, via zoom with Ann, as new had both recently had surgery (Christopher hip replacement and me knee replacement) and wanted to regain mobility as quickly as possible. Her knowledge and encouragement have made a huge difference, and both our surgeons and physio are thrilled with our progress. I can highly recommend both her circuit and yoga classes for all ages and genders. And if you cant get to Burgau you can do classes from the comfort of your own home. No travelling and in the current climate covid safe. High recommended and it gives me a twice weekly Burgau fix! "

"I've been doing golf fitness with Ann for over 18 months now and not only has my handicap come down my overall flexibility has improved. Would 100% recommend this class."
Fergus MacKenzie - PT
I’ve have been doing Ann’s golf fitness classes for a while now, and I can highly recommend, not only has my golf improved, lost 3 shots off my handicap since I started but my flexibility and strength have really improved, I’m hitting the ball far longer then I ever did!! Plus it’s always good fun whether I’m in class or on line!
Janice Galloway - PT
"I have to admit I started Golf Fitness at the start of Covid as a way of staying fit. However, I am a social golfer so was more than pleasantly pleased that I was hitting the ball so much further as a result. This I put down to the different core and flexibility exercises that Ann has introduced to everybody taking the class.
In addition I play over 50’s cricket for Dorset and the exercises have helped my batting particularly my timing - am averaging 54 this summer so what more can I say- big thank you Ann"
Steve Webb - UK
“I thought I was fit before working with Ann! In particular my golf has improved with a noticeable improvement in club head speed, Ann is one of the first things I book in when returning to Portugal. Ann has a great way of understanding her clients that allows her to push them that extra 10% which is needed to truly improve”

Yoga
Summer 2018 - I was stiff and achey and looking for something new to challenge me that didn’t include running around….. in came Ann into my life, she encourage me to give her classes a try and that’s where my story began, I am now practicing twice weekly and make sure that whenever I am in Burgau (which is quite often) that I get my fix of Ann and her all inclusive fun classes. Never do I not leave without a smile on my face and sometimes even some organic blueberries from the local farm. I am a converted Yogi thanks to Ann
Carla Preston - UK & PT
"“I’ve been going to Ann’s yoga classes for over 5 years, both face to face and online. She is an experienced Ashtanga yoga teacher and combines her knowledge of yoga, nutrition and physiology to offer a holistic approach. Her classes are incredibly supportive but also good fun. She offers choices for poses making the classes suitable from beginner to advanced.."
Ele Chronnell - UK & PT
“Ann is an inspiring and approachable yoga teacher. She has been guiding me through my practice both in the studio and on line since I started her class not knowing anything about yoga 10 years ago. Her classes are are made up of people of different ages and experience but every one is made to feel welcome ,special and comfortable regardless of whether they are coming for the odd session or signing up for a plan . Thank you Ann”
