Joana has helped me gain a deep understanding on how to feed my body with nutrients and how to train in the gym. I have had the best results with her and I highly recommend that you start your fitness journey with her too. Joana gave me the confidence to reach my fitness goals and succeeded.

Jo has been a personal trainer to me for a year, I have worked with many trainers over a lifetime of fitness and Jo is one of the best. I believe she is quite rare in this industry having a high level of degree level education in fitness/physiology and deep experience working with clients. If you want someone who will help you stretch for a long time, chat to result in you doing less exercise in the time allowed then Jo is not the trainer for you. If you want someone who backs up a high level of knowledge with a straightforward ‘trust me/do this’ motivating approach to get the results you want Jo is your trainer.

She’s extremely well-informed, knowledgeable, positive and in general just a lovely person. She has grown my confidence hugely and I could not recommend her enough!

Joana has been my personal trainer for the last 3 years, during this time she has proven to be an extremely knowledgeable and technically very proficient, whilst also making the sessions great fun. During this time she has also become a great friend. I’m going to miss her and wish her well in her new role

I trained with Joana whilst in Oxfordshire. Joanna helped me so much with an ongoing injury. She is very knowledgable and always happy to help.
I was able to return to fitness with her ongoing support and adaptations of exercises to ensure I didn’t miss out. Training with Joana will be hard work but fun along the way - you will reach those once unattainable goals!

Joana is the most experienced & committed trainer I have worked with. I have trained at many different gyms in different setting, groups and classes over a 30 year period and Joana stands out as being the most focused on her client’s fitness, health and wellbeing.

I trained with her 2-3 times/week as part of a 4:1 training session, really enjoying the variety & challenge she put into the sessions. She has a thorough understanding of how the body works and ensured that my technique/form is correct to avoid any injuries, adapting exercises as necessary to suit my requirements.

I highly recommend Joana. The professionalism and passion for what she does is second to none, but what make her unique in my experience is that she genuinely cares about her clients and their health and fitness.

Joana was my personal trainer for 18 months, who I saw three times a week.

Working with Joana was truly a rewarding experience. Her approach struck the perfect balance between motivation and enjoyment, consistently pushing me to improve, while ensuring each session was enjoyable.

Under Joana’s guidance, I made fantastic progress, gaining strength I never knew I had. My transformation is a testament to Joana's unwavering belief in my potential and her dedication to fostering real results in her clients.

Joana conducts herself with utmost professionalism and demonstrates a deep understanding of body mechanics and weight training principles, as evident in her tailored approach. This ensures safe and effective workouts and reflects her commitment to her clients' success. Her expertise, coupled with a genuine passion for fitness, sets her apart as an exceptional personal trainer.

Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend Joana to anyone looking to work with a PT.
