I definitely recommend Brigitte's boot camp! Great fun, expert trainer and a massive difference made to my fitness, strength and waistline in only a few weeks!

Brigitte is fantastic. Warm, friendly and encouraging, she has created programmes that are completely bespoke to my needs. So perfectly tailored to me and broken down into manageable chunks, everything feels so much less daunting now. I couldn’t have got to this point on my own. Thanks Brigitte!

What a fantastic 5 weeks! Thanks Brigitte. You certainly helped me find my fitness mojo again and now you've helped me get to this level, I don't want to lose it! I look forward to keeping it up over the next three months whilst I'm away and to starting our classes again in April. Would highly recommend the one-on-one sessions and it was great to do on Bruntsfield Links.

I did 28km of skiing today, it was fun, hard work but my legs were sooo strong & I though of you often with all the work you have done with me over the last 3 months.

I have been doing Brigitte’s online BodyBlitz classes and can’t recommend them highly enough. It’s really convenient for me to be able to log-on in the evening. Brigitte creates a really supportive and motivating environment and the exercises are always new and interesting. Thanks Brigitte...I will definitely be signing up for the next block!

Brigitte is a patient & knowledgeable coach. I feel very comfortable in her "care" & notice an improvement in my fitness....including my desire to go to the classes!

If anyone fancies getting fit after school drop off then I strongly advise you try this. If anyone can motivate you to get in shape it's her.

Brigitte became involved very early on [in our Leadership summerschool for students from disadvantaged backgrounds from Africa], having been recommended by A.M., and was extremely generous with her time and her knowledge of Performance Psychology. She (...) always made valuable contributions, and her energy, expertise and enthusiasm really helped to drive the project forward. For us, this collaboration (...) was extremely valuable, and we thoroughly enjoyed our interactions with Brigitte, who was an absolutely pleasure to work with.

Brigitte is a fantastic trainer - she's really knowledgable, enthusiastic and supportive. Loved working out in the fresh air (and a little bit of rain!). A really great way to get fit!

Boot camp was great fun, Brigitte is a fabulous trainer, so encouraging and positive. Didn't realise how hard my body had been working until I felt it in my muscles after, feel fitter already! Loved it despite the rain, and will definitely come back for more!

Feeling super virtuous and energised after this morning's workout in the pouring rain. Surprisingly refreshing, with lots of thumbs up from passing dog walkers. Thank you Brigitte. You worked us hard and we had great fun too.

A fun and effective workout for all levels - you can work at your own pace on the reps. Good music too to keep you going!

Brigitte has been crucial in developing our Edinburgh Triathlon programme aimed at kids aged 8 - 13. Brigitte has developed a psychological training programme for the kids which I believe will be one of a kind in Scotland (all sports). The Edinburgh programme is also a mentoring programme for new triathlon coaches (13 in total) and Brigitte has been key to developing the coaches knowledge of psychological skill training such as imagery, goal setting etc.

I asked Brigitte to train with me when I had signed up for my first ever Triathlon. Not only did she get me physically fit, she also helped me overcome some mental barriers that I had with various aspects of the race, she taught me how to calm my nerves pre-race, and she was even there on race day to support me! I could not have done it without her! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

After years of Personal Training and gym work that only left me tired and constantly worried about my shape, food, and energy, a friend recommended Brigitte. I was immediately taken by her friendly down to earth approach and was amazed how much fun exercising could be! Thanks to Brigitte I am no longer spending hours in the gym but instead have focused and efficient workouts that make me feel energised! I have never been fitter in my life, and happier! Thanks so much!

I used to be a total exercise-phobic, never enjoying or having any ambition to train. After a bad spell of health, my doctor advised some exercise. I got in touch with Brigitte thinking I need a professional Personal Trainer that can also help me with my motivation. And it worked! I never thought I'd say this but I do actually enjoy exercising now, and I feel so much better for it! I can even keep up with the kids now! Well worth it! Can't recommend highly enough!!

I worked with Brigitte a number of years ago whilst at triathlonscotland and she was always a very friendly and reliable coach who used her psychology expertise exceptionally within her coaching practice.
