eKuiLibriuM Personal Training in Hertford Testimonials

I started to train with eKuiLibrium in May 2006. I was concerned about my overall fitness levels, (as I had none!) and wanted to look after myself better. From the off the service provided was very professional and informative. When my training began I will always remember how utterly exhausted I used to feel even days after training. But that was just my body adapting to its new regime and after a few weeks I never looked back. I trained once a week with Larry for 5 1/2 years. The knowledge I gained about exercise and fitness was wonderful. Larry always tailored each session to my abilities but always ensured I was pushed and looked to beat PB times most weeks. Once Larry could see me adapting to routines he would step it up to help my continuous progression. I became so inspired I recently completed a Diploma in Personal Training.
I will always recommended Larry and Kimberley as they are so enthusiastic about fitness, but always consumate professionals looking after clients.

I was introduced to eKuiLibriuM through networking and was very encouraged by Kimberley’s enthusiasm and willingness to understand and tailor a fitness regime to meet our needs.

David and I have over the years had several personal trainers and countless gym memberships. However we both felt that the training programmes were in general very repetitive, boring and lacked understanding and attention to detail with our aims and objectives. This eventually resulted in our lack of motivation, which inevitably meant our training regimes never lasted more than 3 months.

Having not been involved in any exercise for a long time I was getting concerned about my husband’s health. He works long hours in a pressurised environment, consequently this situation coupled with no exercise meant he was overweight and his health was beginning to become a concern.

Once we started with eKuiLibriuM we both started to lose weight, our sessions were tailored around our individual needs although we worked together. It has never been boring and we are continually motivated to make fitness part of our lives. Both Larry and Kimberley also put a lot of effort into social events which has meant we have gained new friends also. So here we are nearly 5 years on, working out twice a week and still enjoying it and we are much fitter as s result.

Claudina & David - family partner sessions

A close friend had 10 sessions and it changed her life! She looked fabulous for her brothers wedding and loved the one to one sessions and motivation it gave. On her recommendation I asked for sessions as a Christmas present, having never met Kimberley or Larry, and just turned up!

I had a goal to get back into my wedding dress, 10 years on – although I did not plan to wear it for my anniversary! I achieved this through them pushing me to achieve more than I thought that I could. I’ve surprised myself and a session is ‘my’ time both physically and mentally and it gives me such a boost.

They are great people, have excellent private facilities and are very flexible to accommodate my ever changing schedule. It’s never boring and I didn’t know that fitness could be fun. They really know their stuff. Thank you both so much.

Local, convenient and run by people I know and trust. Variations, personal and fun. Penny, 54

Motivating and fun. Fab value for money and fun class. I look forward to it every week. Jacky

Hard work, good crowd of people, excellent instructors – excellent value! Second best way I know of getting shagged every week!

Thank you for all your help in getting me running again and pushing me to complete the programme. I completed my RFL 5k in Trent Park in 45minutes, I am so happy and will now run a flatter course at Harlow!

If you need some motivation to get fit and have fun at the same time, eKuiLibriuM Personal Training is for you. Kimberley and Larry are a fabulous husband and wife team and are total experts in all things fitness, nutrition and wellbeing. They will help you to achieve your personal fitness goals in realistic time with their one to one personal service in their fully equipped gym at Foxholes Farm. Kimberley pushes me out of my comfort zone and I love every minute of it! Thank you eKuiLibriuM for helping me to enjoy getting fit again :-).

I started using eKuiLibriuM when I was 9 years old, when I got selected for the Herts U14 golf squad. They suggested I work on my fitness levels. Since I started working with Larry, not only has my fitness improved, my concentration levels have gone up considerably. Due to working with Larry on my fitness, I have been selected for the South England Golf Team, Order Of Merit winner for Hertfordshire, and also Herts Schools Champion for U16. Larry has also helped me with my nutrition on the golf course. Larry is a very determined person and takes pleasure in seeing people achieve their goals. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who would like to get fitter, very professional and a great environment to train in. I have really enjoyed training with Larry, and long may it continue!

Really lovely fitness studio in fab country setting. Kimberley and Larry are both passionate about Health and fitness and work tirelessly to ensure that their clients are motivated to reach their goal in a fun and happy environment.

Kimberley and Larry offer a great personal training service. The facilities are excellant and with there motivation and guidance they helped me achieve my goals. I would have no hesitention in recommending eKuiLibrium - they really care about there clients and provide a professional service.

The Boot Camp and Run Club organise by Kimberley are great. They have got me out there and it is good to have someone that motivates me getting back in shape. Thank you!

Saturday morning boot camp at Ekuilibrium is the best way to start the weekend, having great fun and keeping fit at the same time

eKuiLibriuM Personal Training are brilliant. I have been going to their Saturday bootcamp sessions for 6 months now and have really noticed a difference in my fitness and figure! Kim is great at motivating bootcampers in all weathers and there are lots of other tips for getting fitter through their website / twitter / facebook. I would really recommend them to get fit, have fun and become healthier.

What can I say that the others haven't already!? Larry and Kimberley are the "Posh and Becks of personal training. Although maybe Larry should have married Mel C (Sporty Spice) to make my analogy work better!
I worked with Larry in the 10 weeks run up to my 50th birthday this year and enjoyed every ab crunching,wobbly leg, cardio sweating moment of it. I can now do more things with an exercise ball than Salty the sealion :)

I dont' really enjoy exercise! Which is why you may be surprised to see a testimonial for personal training from me. However, I do exercise because it's important to keep in shape and stay fit and healthy.

And then I found Ekuilibrium - Larry and Kim - two of the nicest, most laid back and yet motivational people I have had the fortune to meet recently. They have shown me a fresh approach to exercise - and I am enjoying it. The Saturday morning boot camps are an assault on the muscles and the ears, but they are affordable, you can go whenever with no long term commitment and boy do they make you feel good.

In addition, four sessions of personal training have given me a new enthusiasm for exercise with exercise mats, large balls, cowbells and medicine balls - all of which I used to detest.

Everyone should try a bit of Ekuilibrium - it's good for the heart, the mind and the body.

I did a block of personal training with eKuiLibrium to try and get myself fit.
I liked their approach, their encouragement and the atmosphere of their studio is very relaxed and unintimidating.
They took time to understand my goals and set realistic targets and never once did I feel awkward or out of place.
Kimberley and Larry strike a professional yet friendly balance - not easy to achieve but they certainly do!
Really recommended.

Myself and my partner have been going to Equilibrium bootcamp on Saturday's since the new year in order to improve our fitness and lose weight and we have both been impressed with the sessions and the benefits we have felt from attending. It's great to be in the outdoors and is a welcome change to your usual indoor classes. For us it really helps to blow the cobwebs away and we instantly feel better and more alive in ourselves for joining in! Kim does motivate you and push you, but you also work to your own pace which is great. It's a really fun way to spend a Saturday morning with a bunch of friendly people. Definately worth getting involved!

My goals were centred on running and Larry is an international runner who clearly empathised with my goals and was able to knowledgeably tailor my training and provide comprehensive advice.

I wanted to rediscover my love and interest for running after having spent some years seeing running as a series of challenges. Additionally I wished to improve my half marathon and marathon performances. I set the goal of 3'30 for the Paris marathon.

I have been inspired to take a fresh outlook and approach to my running. Larry educated me on the use of different running approaches and variations - notably use of the structured sessions in the gym and on the road. I had never used the treadmill but am now a convert knowing how to usefully approach its use. I have also learnt the benefits of speed sessions, and suitable warming-up and cooling down sessions. My love for running as a pleasure and hobby has been restored and I have now joined a running club to continue my rediscovery. My half marathon times gradually improved over the period of time with Larry and moved from 1'49 to 1'41. My goal for Paris was not achieved due to exceptional circumstances (the hottest April day in Paris for 60 years). I would conclude that I had achieved my primary goal.

I am an experienced runner and Larry was able to introduce new methods and variety to my training based on his extensive knowledge and experience. My sessions were largely focussed on use of the treadmill and Larry was able to set my performance targets to stretch me but not leave me lying on the floor exhausted!

Kevin – keen runner

My husband James gave me some sessions as a present because he knew I needed a ‘kick start’ to get back to my previous level of fitness. James had met Kim through a Business Referral Exchange programme and he knew that I’d like her and get on well. I wanted to feel better about myself, to get back my fitness, my shape and to loose some weight. I have achieved my goals and more importantly, it’s made me want to do more so I do 2 fitness sessions plus yoga. I’ve lost over half a stone in four months and feel much happier.
They are friendly and personalised. I like variety – you never know the kind of workout Kim will give you – keeps you interested and wanting to come back! Most definitely recommended – I find Ekuilibrium helpful and friendly. Setting realistic goals whilst being pushed. Very positive atmosphere. Lovely surroundings and facilities too. Thank you! I fell more like me again!

Eleanor – teacher

Until two years ago I did a great deal of keep fit and exercise generally. Since starting my own company I have fallen into bad habits of irregular eating and virtually no exercise. I was looking to get motivated again and get into a routine of exercising regularly and knew that eKuiLibriuM could help.

eKuiLibriuM has a fantastic reputation for working with individuals to achieve the targets their clients want and I knew I would be in safe hands. They are competitively priced and in a beautiful location.

My goal was to be motivated to exercise alone, tone up, feel fitter and have more energy. I achieved all my goals thanks to eKuiLibriuM and now exercise three times a week – and enjoy it!

I love the way eKuiLibriuM treat everyone as an individual and create a programme that is based on their capabilities and requirements. That’s not to say Larry and Kimberley are a push over – far from it – I got the encouragement and push I needed without being pushed beyond my capabilities. I would have no hesitation in recommending eKuiLibriuM and do regularly for all the reasons given above. Kimberley and Larry are passionate about the service they provide and go out of their way to make sure they deliver a personal programme regardless of age, fitness, size or shape. Keep up the good work guys!

Norma – self employed business owner

Helen - housewife 50 - Nazeing, Essex.

Having exercised extensively during my 20's and 30's I had lost my way with exercise during my 40's with family commitments, and now, having gone through the menopause in my late 40's, I did not want to take HRT and so needed to get back into exercise urgently and also to change my lifestyle. I was overweight and unfit and felt that the best way forward for me would be with a personal trainer to help me get back into exercise safely, correctly and to help motivate and guide me in the right direction.

I was recommended eKuiLibriuM by my pilates teacher who used Larry herself and could not recommend him more highly. I duly went along for my initial fitness assessment and found him to be extremely professional, knowledgeable and, most importantly for me, friendly and not intimidating in any way whatsoever. Larry makes every session interesting and different and I have never once felt bored or de-motivated, which I have felt in the past with other gyms and fitness regimes. He is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his work. Even on days when I am tired or stressed I always feel totally invigorated and refreshed after a training session! When I first started my sessions with Larry I was absolutely terrified of going onto the treadmill even in a walk, but with Larry's help and encouragement I am now running on it . I have now discovered a love of running I would not have thought possible, and have even joined Ware Joggers running club and am running three times a week outside of my sessions with eKuiLibriuM.

Needless to say, I now feel as fit as I did 15 years ago. My body is changing shape, toning up and I am steadily losing weight. My blood pressure has lowered and the symptoms that I suffered as a result of the menopause have now either decreased dramatically or completely disappeared, and this is totally down to exercise, diet and lifestyle changes without having to resort to medication. On that not

Due to an enthusiastic recommendation of a friend who said that Kimberley and Larry “made fitness training fun” I decided to give personal training with eKuiLibriuM a go. I was impressed by Kimberley and Larry’s bubbly and friendly style and complete professionalism.

Kimberley and Larry take time to listen to what you want to get out of the training, they clearly explain what they do and how they tailor your sessions to suit your individual requirements.

I wanted to get the most out of the sporting activities I was doing – skiing, dancing etc. and I felt my general fitness level was a barrier to this. I had never been particularly motivated to do gym work on my own (tried and failed). I also wanted a useful outlet that would help manage the stress of a frantic working week.

The great thing about the structured sessions is that you see real improvement almost from the start. After about a year with eKuiLibriuM I am now significantly fitter than I have ever been, and have even acquired an enthusiasm for running (which I would never have believed before).

I have never once had the feeling of drudge that blighted my attitude to gyms for years.
Kimberley and Larry take time to work out a programme that suits, and to keep it varied and constantly challenging. Their professionalism and attention to detail gives you absolute confidence in what they are doing. Their relaxed and sociable approach inspires you to push on to raise the bar each time.

Sessions with Kimberley and Larry have become an unmissable part of my social week. Kimberley and Larry make training challenging, rewarding and fun.

Richard – mid 30’s – financial investment

Alice, lack of confidence with exercise, 50’s

Thank you for your encouragement and support to get active!

My confidence and awareness of how much I am capable of has completely changed since working with you.

Having had a baby 5 months earlier I desperately needed to get fitter, healthier and lose a lot of weight. Like many people, I had signed up to a number of fruitless gym memberships in the past and a personal trainer was the only answer.

Larry helped me set realistic goals, with challenging yet achievable milestones. My training sessions were focused to my individual needs and achieving my goals. The workouts were varied and enjoyable which kept me interested.

Without Larry’s motivating influence I would certainly have never stuck to my regime.

Working with Larry, I achieved my goals and am back to my pre-pregnancy weight, much fitter and feel great. I now also have the motivation and confidence to exercise outside our sessions and have taken up rowing and have started running.

Larry and Kimberly are a great team and I would most certainly recommend Ekuilibrium.
