Testimonials

The proof of the pudding is in the eating - or in this case, the proof of the training is in meeting with clients and listening to how Aspire has helped them to acheive their goals and aspirations. Here are some of the kind things that Aspire clients have had to say in the last few months:

“When I started running with Jane around April this year I couldn't jog around the block without getting a stitch almost immediately so naturally I'd stop and give up. It was only with Jane's guidance and support that I learnt how to pace myself correctly and within a few weeks the walk/jog pace she started me on, turned into a jog/run pace and eventually I was able to run 'relatively' comfortably over the various courses that Jane took us on. It was with Jane’s knowledge and support, (along with a large amount of willpower on my part!), that I have managed to lose over three and a half stone and drop almost 2 dress sizes.”
Debbie Smith, Hassocks

I'm so pleased I've discovered running. It’s great! Thanks Jane. Since starting training with you this summer I've achieved 10K races in under hour and next aspire to do half then full marathons.
Helen Graham, Hassocks

“Happy to say that I've lost some 3 stones in weight, feel immeasurably healthier and am the fittest I've been since my 20s.”
Mike Anson, Hassocks

I would just like to take this opportunity to let you know that since I started training with Jane I have never felt better. I can walk further than ever before, I can walk faster, necessary as a warm up. The exercises I do with Jane are tailored to my requirements. I used to struggle sometimes when walking the dogs, now I find it even more of a pleasure. I would like to advise any potential clients that exercising with Jane is a joy and to progress from the light weight kettlebell exercises through to the heaviest gives you a great sense of satisfaction. So, no matter how old you are or feel, taking on an exercise programme with Jane Roweth will only be beneficial for you. Go on, make that New Year resolution and decide to get a programme worked out for you. Personal training does work.

“In March, my 8 year old daughter informed me I was really fat and with the taunts of my 4 year old echoing her sentiments, I decided it was long overdue to "do something" about my weight. So, weighing in with an obese rating on the BMI charts I agreed an exercise and eating regime with Jane in the comfort of her lounge.
Each week, I would meet with Jane and we would discuss my food diary. This was a notepad that I kept detailing everything that had passed my lips and together we would talk about the calorie intake for the week and ideas for food substitution that were the healthier option. Jane set weekly achievable and realistic calorie intake goals which combined with a cycling and regular exercise routine slowly but steadily reduced my weight.
I signed up for Jane's circuit training sessions in the park which became easier over the weeks as I became stronger and fitter and now enjoy meeting with her and other ladies a few times a week for her kettlebell and running groups too.
8 months later, I have lost 2.5 stone in weight and have reduced from size 18 to a size 12. I found that being accountable to someone on a weekly basis, particularly at the beginning of my weight loss was invaluable - knowing that she would look at my food diary and be able to give advice and encouragement. She has always been realistic in what is achievable and goals have been discussed and sometimes changed depending on what else has been going on in my life - if I had a bad week, fortnight or even month, she would be able to pull me back on track, reassure me that all is not lost and give me the confidence and enthusiasm to continue.
I am now continuing with Jane's kettlebell and circuit training classes on a weekly basis and whilst not strictly calorie counting any more, I am continuing to become fitter and stronger and enjoy cycling and running - all of which I would have struggled to do in March.”
Thank you Jane!

“Signing up with Jane in February is the best thing I've done this year.
As an overweight 57 year old woman in a sedentary job feeling I was tipping over the hill, Jane has been inspirational. I am still all the above but I look much trimmer and feel and am fitter and healthier. Blood pressure is down; I have reasonable cholesterol and I can run and swing kettle bells with the youngsters. I first ran a 5k in July, then a 10k in October with more in store me for this year.
Jane has been brilliant at setting goals; adapting and finding new things for me to do; keeping me going when I ever get down and Aspire says it all - I wanted to aspire to a new me and Jane is helping me get there.”
Mary O'Rourke, Pyecombe

“Before I began training with Jane I was convinced that I would never be able to run, never mind enjoy running. I had half-heartedly tried it once or twice, but gave up out of breath after a couple of minutes, deciding that it clearly wasn’t for me and that I would stick to walking and the occasional aerobics class.
However, my attitude has been transformed as I now realise that anyone can run as long as they take it at their own pace - it’s amazing!! I trained with Jane once a week for about 3 months and had ‘homework’ runs to do in between our sessions. I was really pleased with the progress I made, starting out at maybe 15 minutes of slow jogging and progressing to at least 45 minutes at a reasonable pace and I even tackled hills!! Even though I’m not currently training with Jane I still enjoy going for a run and love the fact that it fits in so easily with family life as it only takes 30-40 minutes to do a workout and you can do it from your own doorstep - much quicker than driving to the gym to do a class! I feel much fitter than I did before starting to run and would recommend a course of sessions with Jane to anyone who wants to improve their fitness and attitude to exercise!”
