Working with Ruby made a real difference in my recovery after my stroke and concussion. She’s kind, patient and really understands neurological rehab. She always met me where I was on any given day and adjusted to what I needed. With her help I’ve rebuilt strength and mobility and come further than I ever expected. I’m really grateful to have had her in my corner.
— Charlotte I probably would never have thought of going to see Ruby as, although I have played sport regularly all my life, I have never been a gym goer. However, following a double hip replacement operation, I was encouraged by my daughter to make an appointment with Ruby to discuss a programme of exercises to assist my recovery.
I went along to that first appointment feeling quite nervous but working with Ruby has been a very positive experience. She is so understanding, patient and encouraging. Not only have I regained my mobility but my strength has improved enabling me to continue to play tennis and pickle-ball although I am now well into my 80s.
I really enjoy meeting up with Ruby every month to review and adjust my programme and she motivates me to exercise consistently. I am sure Ruby works with people in many ages groups but I have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone in the older age group, such as myself, who is keen to improve and maintain their physical mobility and ability to enjoy life.
— Jan I was fortunate to meet Ruby after she was recommended as a Personal Trainer with expertise in neurological issues for my husband who had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s.
Ruby trains us both individually and I know she has been of great benefit for my husband.
I approached Ruby as I was looking to do some strength training as I had had a bone density scan that showed some mild osteoporosis.
Ruby has been amazing and I genuinely look forward to each session. She has pushed and encouraged me, given me an interesting, varied programme and set realistic achievable training goals.
Ruby has an amazing personality and an in depth exercise knowledge. She is kind, considerate, with a genuine interest and as she herself said “I am on this journey with you, not just the hour, if you ever need advice or support, I am here always”.
I leave my training not only feeling fitter but the positive mental health benefits are amazing.
