I was introduced to the Personal Best team through a work benefits scheme, and from day one everyone has been incredibly friendly and welcoming.
A little over two years ago, I suffered a fall down the stairs at home. Following ongoing issues, Kristine Hagon, my chiropractor, referred me for a scan on my neck, which revealed that two vertebrae were pressing on my spinal cord. I was quickly referred to a consultant at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital and underwent surgery to realign the vertebrae and secure them in place with pins.
Following the operation, I was unable to do very much for a couple of months. As a result, I gained weight and lost muscle strength and confidence. Once I received the all-clear from my consultant, I decided it was time to focus on rebuilding my strength and fitness.
That's when I started training at Personal Best with Martin Jones. Having never stepped foot in a gym before, I was understandably nervous. Martin took the time to understand my medical history, my concerns, and my goals. He tailored a training plan specifically for me and guided me through every step of the process, making me feel comfortable and confident from the start.
I still see Kristine every month and train with Martin each week. Thanks to their support and expertise, my confidence, muscle strength, fitness, and posture are all significantly better than they were before my accident.
A huge thank you to Martin, Kristine, and everyone at Personal Best for their ongoing encouragement and support. It has made such a positive difference to my recovery and overall wellbeing.
Thank you, Personal Best!
Kristine as lead chiropractor is a real expert on muscular-skeletal injuries - she is great at diagnosing, treating, and then providing sustained advice on the self-management of what could otherwise become painful, long term and debilitating injuries. She takes time to know her individual clients and their injuries, so that she can get right down to a targeted, tailored treatment especially when clients are attending repeat appointments.
Carl’s Stretch Class is a great, effective and regular class that is professionally run and fun to attend. The varied range of light exercises, designed to increase balance, core strength and suppleness are particularly good for rehabilitation from injuries. The classes are welcoming, focused, and with a lot of useful information (and humour!) about what each specific stretch exercise is designed to help with.
I have attended both strands of Personal Best for a number of years, and I wouldn’t hesitate to highly recommend them to others.
Excellent service from a knowledgeable and friendly team. Appreciated them looking at the whole picture to understand the issue and not just treating the initial symptoms. Highly recommended.
From the moment you walk through the door at Personal Best, you are warmly welcomed by a really lovely team of people, the space is light and the classes are always full of variety and laughter
Can't recommend enough! We've been coming to Personal Best for a long time, and it never fails to deliver with the brilliant Carl for personal training. We literally skip out the room afterwards, having barely being able to move beforehand. Carl targets the exact areas of need! Accompanied by the brilliant Kristine for her chiropractic skills, or should I say magic hands, manages to solve every back, shoulder or neck issues. Finally, amazing massages and facials from Erica, a total pro in this area. We will keep returning!
