To lose weight

''I have been training with Christianne for nearly five months and the results have exceeded all my expectations. I have lost nearly 3 stone in weight and am fitter than I have been since my distant youth.

I was sceptical about my ability to successfully train with a personal trainer on a consistent basis. However, Christianne possesses a compelling combination of charm, motivational skills, undoubted knowledge and a seemingly boundless ability to vary exercise programmes. The latter quality, ensures that one is always challenged and never complacent. She can advise on all aspects of diet, nutrition and indeed has made a positive and irreversible impact on my overall lifestyle. I would recommend her unreservedly

'' I wanted to say thanks for my programme. I've been following it for

3 weeks now and have noticed a real difference. My trousers are all much

looser around my bum and thighs, which has never happened before.''

To lose weight

'' When personal trainer Christianne Wolff first approached me with a personalized fitness plan, I was excited but skeptical.

Who could manage to find a way for me to enjoy exercise and fit it in around my busy working life?

It seems Christianne can, as we had our fourth and final session this week which included a comparison with the measurements she took at our first meeting.

So I have been following a healthy eating plan, as well as 15 mins of light exercise everyday and the difference has been astonishing.

I leapt for joy when Christianne told me I have lost 2 inches from my waist and three from my hips- that's a total of five inches off my body. Even better than this was my body fat measurement. I have lost 2% body fat''

To lose weight

''After five years of progressive weight gain and general laziness, I

contacted Christianne with the goal of finally getting my body back in

shape. Christianne took me from a guy who could barely do one sit-up to

someone who can now do over 200. Using my appartment (which measures less than 20

square metres in total), she managed to put together a work-out program that

was both easy to follow and (eventually) fun to do. I have now lost two

stone since my first phone call to her and feel ten times healthier than

ever before''

Ryan Levett Journalist

To decrease boredom and get results

''My main reason for getting in touch with Christianne was to increase my level of fitness. Training as we all know is possibly the most boring thing that one can do . Particularly if you are like me and are looking for immediate results. However training with Christianne was far from boring and secondly after only a few sessions things began to happen! The sessions were full of fun( mainly at my expense )

I learnt a variety of new skills including boxing (I was once shouted at by two men when we were boxing in Hyde Park who accused me of beating up a women. Little did they know!) Skipping and turning my body inside out, (I think they call it Yoga!)

I very much enjoyed my sessions and highly recommend Christianne to anyone who things training is boring and that there is no point in doing it because it takes to long to work.''

`'I wanted a personal Trainer to help keep me focussed on my fitness and pin point areas of weakness, which I achieved with you. I feel much better when training with you in my seasons and look forward to training with you again''……..

Ante/post natal

''I trained for pregnancy and body reconditioning after giving birth.

Result were very good, in particular from pregnancy training where it is difficult to get definitive help from the usual sources (gym instructors, books, Internet etc). Being very fit during my pregnancy meant that I had a natural birth, where I was predicted to have a caesarean section, and I also had an 8lb baby, with no assistance and no stitches (very, very uncommon) - certainly due to all the pilates moves that Christianne worked on with me and ensuring that my pelvic floor was in good condition.

Post birth, I immediately lost most of my pregnancy weight, and got back into shape almost immediately. Christianne would visit my home, giving me exercises that I could do easily whilst my baby was asleep. This meant that the transition back into exercise, for me, was seamless. Being fit also made me cope better as a new mother, and certainly gave me a very noticeable energy that none of my friends (not fit !) had''

`' Christiannne came with glowing references from my last trainer. I have found her extremely knowledgeable and is clearly dedicated to continuing improvement of her own studies and expertise. She helped me to continue to improve my fitness and well being throughout my pregnancy, which was invaluable. I would strongly recommend her to anyone, except she might stop training us!!

Ante/postnatal

I started training with Christianne in June '99 and trained with her for just over a year. In that time I was able to tone up my body and lose weight post pregnancy, and have carried on since. I also found training with you a great stress relief

Wedding

`'I have been training with Christianne because primarily I wanted to be fit and gorgeous, for my wedding. I think I managed both! She is a brilliant trainer- gentle but tough, and very understanding of women in stressful jobs, with little time. I am more toned, healthier and certainly happier with my body now. Training also manages to calm me down and keeps my stress levels down. Thank you!''

Triathlon Training

`'I have known and trained with Christianne 3 x a week for over a year, following a recommendation from a friend. She makes training fun and varied. I have made very good progress under her guidance, setting goals and achieving them due to her style, attention and the trust and confidence she readily gains. She has a great personality, attention to detail. Genuine interest in her clients and coupled with her extensive knowledge and experience has proven an excellent coach and trainer. I strongly recommend her to any one, and in fact did so to my wife who benefited similarly, especially through her pregnancy…Oh, and she makes us laugh.' Achieved:- weight loss, body shape, improved dietary habits, good level of fitness- 3 triathlons.''

Kevin Grace Managing Director (regional) Tesco

''Thanks for all your help earlier this year. I have now completed two triathlons...did London in two hours 42mins and have also done one 5km, three 10km and one 10 mile race. Have now joined a triathlon club so get my motivation from there but you were a real help.

Lots of luck with your new venture''

Simon Popple

Running

`' I have trained with Christianne for 9 months, during that time she has inspired and encouraged me to the extent that I train 3 times a week ( when I started I didn't even walk to the local shop ) Her style of training is perfect for those who feel they could never run for 20minutes- she encourages her clients- authoratively and patiently- to reach their own goals.''

Nicola Jeal Deputy Editor `Evening Standard'.

Running

I had been suffering from a long term illness and as part of the treatment had been put on a course of hormones. As a result of this I felt very sluggish and had put on about half a stone. On the advice of my doctor and also facing the realisation that I had never done any exercise at all I found Christianne.

Three months later I have certainly achieved things that my friends could only laugh at when I suggested I would be doing them - running for forty minutes, consistently exercising three times a week, doing kick boxing etc While I have not lost a tonne of weight, I feel much more content with my shape now and I feel as though a couple of days of over indulgence does not mean starvation for the next week. I am sleeping better and have fewer headaches and I now look forward to the feeling of exertion after a session. Christianne is tough and firm but not unpleasant and I always look forward to our time together. If she can get me to exercise then she really can get anyone to do it…

General fitness

`'Since training with Christianne my fitness and strength have improved. Flexibility and suppleness are also better. The exercise is also good for improving the mind; certainly I get an improvement in mood from endorphins. Christianne gives plenty of good encouragement, and also has a good tone of voice!

She does not let you slack and makes sure the exercises are carried out properly- this is a main benefit to having a trainer. She also provides jovial conversation, which helps take the mind of the hardness and length of the exercise.''

Chris Gardener, Farmer.

"Not only is Christianne an excellent trainer but a wonderful motivator. She has a knack for understanding the different requirements of people and their shapes. Using her expertise, she then draws up an individually tailored program that enables the client to receive maximum benefit from their fitness regime. Keep up the great work".

Honey Kalaria Bollywood actress

''I always to look forward to sessions with Christianne. My aim was general fitness and weight loss. After training with Christianne I found my upper body strength and stamina improved hugely and also found my posture was much better.

Christianne strikes a really good balance between being laid back and pushing you to greater exertion- and is particulary good with hangovers!''

Rupert Barclay Company Director

Fat Loss

I trained with Christianne for about 18 months. She made going to the gym much more exciting than going on your own. During the time with her she developed my general fitness, helped with weight loss ( 4 stone ) and kept my blood pressure under control. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Christianne and was sorry when she left Topnotch health Club''

Mark Jenkins Managing director of Mares Scuba Diving.

`'I see Chris once a week and work out on my own twice a week. She has made the workout a lot harder than I would managed on my own, but this has helped me lose 4 1/2 percent body fat and half a stone. This has boosted my confidence and made me healthier and fitter. She also makes it fun to workout.''

Jane Brand Chef

Fitness for Skiing.

`'Christianne has taught me how to use the equipment correctly so that I now have complete confidence in my ability to visit the gym alone. She has also put together a complete programme for the next 5 weeks, to focus on building up my stamina in readiness for skiing. This wouldn't have been achieved without her help and guidance. Another benefit is that my blood pressure has lowered from 190/100 and is now 140/75. Working out with Christianne is also fun!''

John Davis Food analyst Tesco

Stress reduction

`'I have been training with Christianne for 2 years. In this time my fitness has increased dramatically and my weight has dropped off. I was extremely stressed and unable to motivate myself 2 years ago, now I am 2 ½ stone lighter, I run 5 miles 5 times a week and Christiannes yoga sessions have reduced my stress considerably. I still train with her 2-3 times a week.''

James Mcardle Managing Director Mcardles Construction.

Remedial

Christiannes sessions have help helped develop my knee after a cartilage operation. Because I see her at a regular slot each week, it has greatly improved. I also chose her as a personal trainer because I did not want to work in a gym alongside other people because I sweat so much and feel embarrassed!!.
