PERSONAL TRAINING

“You’d think that at 77years old you would be thinking of easing up a bit. But I get up at 7.00am every morning and do an hours training with Emma and it really sets me up for the day. Her knowledge and enthusiasm for her job is infectious. I highly recommend it - even for 77year olds !”

“I moved from Los Angeles to Knaresborough in 2016, and was lucky enough to be introduced to Emma Spalding thru my in laws who have been training with Emma for many years. I have now been working out with Emma, Monday thru Friday for the past 2 years, and have noticed a difference in my energy levels and strength. I cannot say enough about Emma. She is personable, professional and extremely knowledgeable. Emma challenges you, but makes it fun and switches it up every session. I would recommend Emma to everyone, she is amazing!”

“What I really like about Emma is the friendly professionalism; not pretentious or overly intense. Her approach of providing you with a truly bespoke lifestyle change is amazing. It doesn't feel like you're making any invasive changes, but the changes happen.. they're there. In the first two months I achieved my desired weight loss and muscle gain. I felt great, energised and surprisingly, even after my initial block of sessions, I retained my careful eating and exercise routine without really realising it. Emma's knowledge of her chosen field is refreshing, closer to that of a medical professional. This really sets her apart from the usual throng”.

Emma has looked after my fitness, wellbeing and general health for over 12 years now. After initially producing a bespoke fitness programme for me, this has developed and expanded over the years to meet my changing circumstances and health needs. Her knowledge is vast and goes way beyond that of merely a fitness personal trainer. Emma is always striving to take on board new ideas and current thinking and is keen to learn about all the elements which affect a persons health. I know I am fitter now than 12 years ago and that is all down to her support, advice and genuine wish to make my life better.

CLASSES

“Absolutely no hesitation recommending Emergy Fitness and Wellbeing. Emma is top of her game and without doubt the best Pilates instructor I’ve come across. I plan on tackling more triathlons in 2019 and really value Emma’s advice on a number of things which help with the swim/bike/run elements. Whatever your level of fitness - there really is something for everybody in Emma’s classes.”

“I attended Emma's Pilates class last Wednesday and thoroughly enjoyed it. I have been doing Pilates for many years and can honestly say it is one of the best classes I have ever been to. I will be attending regularly from now on!!”

“Thought my golfing days were over due to lower back pain, tried chiropractor and acupuncture to no avail, Doctors told me it was just wear and tear, this was over a period of almost 2 years. I joined Pilates 4 months ago, each week I went my back was feeling stronger and less pain. I'm now playing golf 2/3 times a week and no pain. I will continue Pilates, thanks Emma for all your advice and encouragement.”

CORPORATE HEALTH, FITNESS & WELLBEING / EDUCATIONAL TALKS

“We hired Emma to come into our office once a week for training, for one hour sessions for our employees. She was highly recommended to us, and has been well worth it! We have about 15 employees on average that join the classes, and all have their own personal
goals that they want to achieve. Emma takes the time to speak with them one on one, if they have questions about diet, nutrition and their at home workouts. She has been a pleasure to work with, and the staff look forward to their weekly workouts. It has given the staff more energy, and better lifestyle choices, which makes for happier employees.”
