GROUP CLASSES

"I feel a hundred times richer every time I have a good sleep thanks to ChiBall”.

I have had chronic lower back pain for a number of years now and I was amazed, after attending my first ChiBall class with Sue recently, that for the first time in a long time the pain in my lower back seems to have disappeared . . .

I have had the great pleasure and good fortune to be able to attend Sue’s circuit classes, chi ball classes, punch fit classes and to have Sue guide me on my journey for a healthier version of myself as my personal trainer. Sue is an inspirational, thoughtful and dedicated trainer whom I hold in the highest regard and gladly recommend. Words do little justice to describe the positive impact Sue has had on the quality of my life. Whether you just want to feel better or have a specific training goal in mind, Sue’s professional, caring, supportive, knowledgeable and committed approach empowers you to realise your personal health and fitness goals and to have a lot of fun along the way. Thank you Sue!

Sue has been intermittently performing LD Reiki on both my husband and myself and the results have been nothing but positive. 

I had no idea what to expect.  It was so relaxing and peaceful.

Thank you so much for helping me with my fitness this year. You are such a caring and positive person. You have helped me in so many ways - regain my fitness, body awareness, posture control and spiritual wellbeing. I thoroughly enjoy your classes and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I cannot express enough gratitude to Sue for all she has done for me. Sue makes each person in the class feel unique and valuable.

I regularly attend Sue's circuit classes and occasionally I top it up with a ChiBall class. Last week whilst at home, I pulled a muscle in my back. This pain combined with the difficulty I was having with associated breathing difficulty was giving me every excuse to stay at home and miss the ChiBall class that night. I only went along becasue my teen daughter was insisting we go, but I'm so glad I went along with her - by the end of the class not only was I feeling wonderfully relaxed, but my pain had gone completely! I was really surprised as I wasn't expecting the ChiBall class to have that effect as I was just hoping to loosen up. So to be pain free afterwards, go home to have a deep sleep that night, plus also feel fabulous the following day was a great bonus. Thanks Sue!

I had been suffering from headaches, shoulder, neck and back pain for just over a month and to ease my pain I was needing Ibuprofen to manage and get through each day (I generally avoid taking tablets). I engaged Sue to possibly help with some Reiki. As she began, I felt peaceful as she touched each part of my body where I felt pain. I slept well that night for the first time in a long time, and the next day all the symptoms had eased and I no longer had any headaches. I felt so relieved and more energised and no longer needed Ibuprofen. I highly recommend Sue for Reiki. Thank you Sue

I love that I feel in better health and physically stronger than I have in many, many years. I continue to be motivated to attend Sue's classes, as a client for over 18 months, as the classes also focus on the journey, as opposed to focusing solely on an 'outcome'. The joy that I gain from Sue's classes are about the small steps in the journey to becoming a healthier self.

I have never had a Reiki Session before, and Sue immediately made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. As time went by, I started to feel that Sue's gentle touch was simulataneously on many areas of my body, which was deeply relaxing and pleasant. I also felt quite a lot of warmth in my arms, which was lovely as I generally feel chilly. My feeling of calmness lasted throughout the day and I slept particularly well that night. My reason for having Reiki was to help with a health issue and I'm delighted to say that although I was informed it could take between 6 and 12 months to clear up, I'm already much improved after only a couple of months. I would highly recommend seeing Sue for her professional, intuitive and positive approach.

I finished up one of Sue's Punchfit classes determined to become fitter and build up more stamina. With such an intense class - I was expecting the next day to be filled with the usual groans and muscle fatigue. But i was lucky enough to spend some time with Sue after the class, and she introduced me to ChiBall. Sceptical about immediate results, I looked to the next hour with optimism. The results of the ChiBall session were instant. Throughout the hour - and what felt like twenty minutes - I experienced an intense calmness as Sue walked me through some breathing and posture exercises designed using the ChiBall. I left TopMarx Training with an incredible amount of energy and peace. With all honesty - the next day began with such a freshness that I had not felt in years. I know that I had been eating healthy and exercising regularly for some time - and I thought that I was feeling as good as my body would allow. I discovered that with Sue and TopMarx Training, I really could feel much better for life. ChiBall is now a regular part of my exercise routine.

I have thoroughly enjoyed being part of Sue’s circuit classes for over 5 years. Previously I had not been keen to join a gym environment but I find her home setting and with Sue’s gentle and knowledgeable coaching, it has been very enjoyable. Sue is always studying further and doing courses to further her knowledge in all aspects of health and fitness. She treats each person individually regarding previous injury, fitness level and what they are comfortable with, adjusting the program as needed. The equipment and environment are clean and comfortable and the small group company is friendly and fun. I have found it a good balance of cardio/toning & strengthening of core. Sue has always been willing to share advice or follow up on any concerns or with extra information by email outside of class. She has always been very flexible and concerned for the well-being of each client. Lisa T. St Ives

Thank you Sue! I',m really enjoying ChiBall classes. It's made me feel better, eat better and be more positive in general. I look forward to my weekly class!

Thank you Sue! You are one of life’s true treasures! You are such a gentle, thoughtful and sensitive teacher with a wonderful sense of humour and a joy to be around! I used to hate exercise before I came to you! I’ve tried other gyms hoping no one would notice me down the back feeling like a total clutz!! My experience in your ChiBall Class, Pilates Class and Friday exercise classes have ALL been so positive. Thank you!

After my first evening ChiBall class I had the best sleep I've had in a couple of years. I found the class to be totally relaxing and rewarding. It went beyond a good night's sleep as the following day I felt extra energised, centred and ready to take on the world. I look forward to feeling the benefits of my weekly ChiBall class - thanks for sharing it with us Sue!

Thank you so much for doing online classes for us Sue -  it really helps during lockdown on a deep level to maintain this connection. I am really enjoying the classes too - they are different again and you are a very engaging presenter who makes the class fun and interactive but still huffy puffy!

I recently attended one of Sue's ChiBall classes and thoroughly enjoyed the different type of exercise and look forward to doing another soon. The mixture of dance like movement, yoga and meditation makes you feel great and like you could cope with anything. Definitely a class to do if you have finally decided to find some 'Me' time!

Sue, thank you for your faith in me and encouragement these past two months. You have helped me believe this new world of exercise could have a space in it for me. One year later ... I've been coming for a year now and every single session is different - I don't know how she does it!" I also found ChiBall class to be beautifully soothing and full of grace.

Sue is fabulous! The fact that we have a lot in common running a household of five (mainly boys) and being passionate about fitness and health is only the beginning. She sets me up for the week, keeps me motivated and best of all tells me what to do! She also has lots of faith and is always positive and happy. Thank goodness for our weekly sessions! Thanks Sue!

9 months later after her first half marathon . . . Thanks so much for being there on the journey with me. All your encouragements and help were vital to me very successful and enjoyable first half marathon!

I've found ChiBall to be a delightful class - wonderful outdoor exercises (weather permitting!) followed by deep relaxation techniques. I just float out afterwards with such a great feeling of calm and happiness.

Sue is a Godsend. Not only am I now exercising after a lapse of 15 years or more, but I am actually enjoying it. I am spreading Sue's virtues to whoever will listen. In the few sessions I have done, the classes have all been slightly different and I've lost 1.5kg which I have been battling to do for too long. Thanks Sue

I love your class Sue (and you too!) You're so helpful and supportive - you've been an inspiration and a God send.

I am very happy to have come across Top Marx. Sue has a very keen sense of where everyone is at in their fitness. Sue is attentive to our safety and exercise form. She cares about incidental things that may be going on in our lives, such as hectic work schedule, and offers strategies in staying healthy and focused. I also really enjoy the comradery of the circuit and Chiball classes I attend. I consider Top Marx an integral part of my personal and professional health.
