Karen is brilliant. She tailors your plan to your exact needs, encourages you and makes working hard enjoyable.

Karen Abi-Karam

Karen is thorough, motivating and very patient. I haven’t done much exercise for years and she has got me up, moving and doing things I never thought I’d manage.

Annamaria Di Felice

Karen is highly skilled and prepared in running her classes, which are both great fun and effective. Her personality is at the soul of the business; she makes people at ease and feel always welcome. You can tell she cares.

I have been going to a weekly PT with Karen for three years. She is an amazing instructor – warm, friendly, encouraging, professional – and it has made a huge difference to my body tone and overall fitness levels. She constantly introduces new techniques and ensures that you progress at a pace that works for you and your body. I would highly recommend her.

Christa Scott

I have been attending Karen’s sessions for almost a year now. I find her truly inspiring and encouraging. I have grown in confidence with what I can do. My fitness levels have increased and the change in my appearance is noticeable. I can’t recommend Flexion fitness enough – it really has been a life changing experience for me.

Rachael Dale

Karen is a fantastic instructor, always positive and motivating, even on days when you don’t want to train. Karen is able to tailor your program to your needs and she helped me to continue training when experiencing back problems, during pregnancy and returning to exercise 7wks after having a baby. I have become fitter and stronger over the past 2 yrs.

Claire Bridge

Karen is a fantastic personal trainer! Really motivating and friendly and manages to keep you going even when you’re absolutely exhausted! Great variety of exercises too. Would highly recommend.

Luke Nichols

I was reasonably fit and sporty already, but Karen has helped push me even more and achieve results, with good work outs and general health and food guidance. Friendly and helpful environment. Very pleased with my decision to start.

Jenna Forest

I joined Flexion Fitness after having a baby and Karen helped me get back into fitness whilst being considerate to my non existent stomach muscles. She makes the classes fun, but equally pushes you to improve strength. A very friendly atmosphere.

Steff Baker

I absolutely love Karen’s classes. She is a great trainer and certainly knows her stuff. Since doing two circuit classes a week I have lost nearly 3 stone in a year. I am loving the new me and really look forward to exercise. I couldn’t recommend Flexion Fitness enough.

Helen Smith

I have attended online fitness classes held by Flexion Fitness throughout lockdown. The attention to detail that is provided in each class is fantastic, tailoring exercises where needed andoffering advice and encouragement throughout each session making it feel like a 1-1. Highly recommended.

Antoinette Hautot

Karen has been an absolute star. A little over two years ago I never would have considered that I could be fit and healthy while enjoying the journey. Karen’s classes are motivating & fun. She’s changed the way I think about exercise and proved that I can do it! With Karen’s help, encouragement and advice I feel confident that I can stay fit and healthy.

Jemma Barbet

OK so as a “bigger”, or should I say “curvier” person I was really apprehensive about doing anything fitness related let alone doing a boot camp style class. The thought of walking into a class scared the living daylights out of me. Karen though is just amazing, she put me at ease straight away and explained that it doesn’t matter how big, or unfit you are everyone has their own fitness levels. After just a few months I love it and can already feel and see a difference. No one judges you because they are all too busy doing their own thing. I can’t recommend Karen and her fitness classes enough. They are just amazing and you WILL feel great.

Carla Morson

I can honestly say that she has helped and supported me in making a huge difference to my fitness levels. Exercise has never been a favourite activity of mine however I really enjoy my sessions with Karen and have done things I never dreamt would be within my capabilities. There’s plenty of variety and she has challenged and supported me every step of the way. She makes me work hard but has a natural knack of making each workout fun. In addition Karen is supporting me in my bid to eat healthily. I would, without hesitation, recommend her as a personal trainer.

Olivia Bicknell

This is the first time I’ve ever tried a personal trainer and I can honestly say I’ve enjoyed it more than any gym session! The one-to-one environment ensures that it’s tailored to your personal goals…and good to know that the exercises are working the right bits! Karen makes you feel at ease and I’d definitely recommend it for anyone who is shy to go to the gym but would still love to exercise.

Tasha Leverett

Amazing PT and my fitness has improved a lot! I have a medical condition so I never know what my body will be able to cope with on the day but Karen never makes me do anything that I can’t handle!

Lynn Cooper

Had such fun this morning learning the art of Nordic Walking. Thank you Karen for your excellent teaching and fun and laughter. Everyone needs this in their life!

Susan Clark

Karen is a knowledgeable instructor and was supportive and totally inclusive. 

Kathryn Walker

Even though I have been unable to have face to face sessions due to the pandemic, I have been very well supported in my efforts to change my eating habits. The nutrition programme has been tailored to my needs and well explained. Karen is very knowledgeable and supportive.

Sara Fellows

Karen knows her stuff, walks the walk and is both knowledgeable and approachable. The online virtual workshop was a brilliant taster into the fundamentals of great nutrition as well as more complex, yet accessible information to help you make more informed choices. It was the kick start I needed and I’ve signed up to the 12 month course as I feel I am at the start of a journey back to fitness, health and well-being, guided by an excellent coach who will keep me on track and focused on my goals. I’d highly recommended Karen to anyone wanted to make a positive change to their lifestyle through nutrition and fitness.

Sophie Rossell

I enrolled on a 2 hour nutrition seminar with Flexion Fitness to give myself more of an education of what I’m putting into my body and also to pick up some pointers on how to shed some weight! Karen kept my interest the whole time with lots of time for discussions around what was being taught and how it could be applied to my personal lifestyle. I have intolerances and Karen made sure she knew what diet plans / process would work for me. I found the seminar so interesting and it has definitely made me more aware of what I am putting into my body and how I can improve on my daily habits. Karen delivered a great seminar and I will be looking out for future seminars. Thank you!

Maxine Hawthorne-Mold

I cannot believe that only after 4 weeks of working with Karen I have changed my mindset regarding nutrition, my sleep patterns and how stress affects my body and losing weight.
I had reached a plateau in losing weight and was really frustrated that I wasn’t losing more. I put it down to being middle-aged and going through the menopause but to date I have lost 3 cms from my waist, hips, thighs and just over 4 IIbs in weight.

I’m not going to say it’s been easy (she can be very firm when she needs to!) but I’m confident that I’ll achieve my goals with Karen’s constant support and motivation.

Lisa Norman

I attended the nutrition seminar which was very informative and explained in a way which made changes understandable. With it being a small group there was plenty of time of ask questions and Karen was always happy to help with individual needs before, during and after. I would recommend this course and would use Karen again for other seminars in future that she may hold.
