I was encouraged to strengthen my core and start exercising as a last alternative to having major back surgery for an agonising and extremely debilitating injury. I spent several years doing muscle rehabilitation work with Tanya’s former partner, Stuart, progressing from being unable to get out of bed in the morning because of the extreme and constant pain, to leading a fully functional, pain-free and very active life. I then started attending Tanya’s classes and have enjoyed every minute of every class! The personal attention and encouragement from Tanya is great and her absolute passion for what she does is clearly evident and is totally inspiring. The energy and friendly camaraderie within the class motivates me to push myself that little bit further each day and the results are already starting to show. Now in my forties, I’m feeling stronger, fitter and leaner than I ever have. I can’t believe how far I’ve come and, incredibly, I never did have that back surgery.
