Passion for Balance - Testimonials

Katie, Kettering: Personal Fitness

Over the years I have tried hundreds of diets and done all sorts of exercise. I have been to gyms and clubs and tried every diet there is. I was always put off by the gym and of personal trainers as I imagined it to be someone who had no understanding or time for someone overweight and unfit like me! But in the Summer 2007 I decided it was time to try something a little bit different to see if I could switch my brain on to losing weight and toning up. I had seen Donna’s advert in the local paper and decided it was worth a shot!

From the first time I met Donna she immediately put me at ease and never made any judgments of me (even when she assessed my weight and took all my measurements!). The most worrying thing for both of us at that point was that my blood pressure and my resting pulse were very high so this was something we had to tackle as I really didn’t want to end up on blood pressure medication at the age of 33.

I have been coming to Donna twice a week since then and I am pleased to say that my blood pressure has reduced to normal levels and my general fitness levels have improved significantly. I can only attribute that to the work that Donna has done with me over the last 2 years. The sessions are always hard work but I have to say are usually quite good fun! I have not been the easiest customer for Donna and I know that my lack of ability to stick to a diet should have frustrated her but she has never given up on me and has worked doubly hard to make sure that my fitness levels keep on improving.

I would recommend Passion for Balance to anyone who is looking to get fit and improve their general health. I can’t imagine not having my twice weekly sessions with Donna now as they have and do really help!

Geoff, Oundle: Personal Fitness

I'd like to say I don't how it happened, 34 years old overweight and out of shape, but I do know how I got into this state, and I'm sure it's a familiar story to other males reading this. I had always been fit and active kickboxing & weight training combined with the fitness standards demanded of me as a serving member of the Armed Forces had allowed my to drink hard and fight hard for several years. However, my life began to fall apart in 2002, I'd left the Forces in the belief that this would save my struggling marriage, it inevitably didn't. The stress of the breakdown, re-adjustment to the civilian world and associated financial problems was the catalyst to what would become my day to day life; heavy drinking and binge eating. My family and close friends would comment that I was drinking too much and my ever increasing 'beer belly' was proof of this, but I felt powerless to take back control of my life.

This all changed in early 2008 when I responded to a local advert for Personal Training with Donna Stables. Donnas extensive knowledge of nutrition & training and 'more sweat in peace, less blood in war' attitude has seen me lose the dreaded 'beer belly', pack on hard muscle in the right places and given me the confidence to apply to join the Armed Forces Reserves. My life is back on track and so could yours if you put your ego aside. I have trained with tough nosed Special Forces Physical Training Instructors and believe me when I say Donna can, and will push you just as hard.

My advice is simple, take the first important step to a new and better you contact Donna Stables today.

Pippa, Mawsley: Personal Fitness

I've always been somewhat of a "gym bunny" but found myself in a bit of a rut with my routine and felt I wasn't progressing with my fitness. I get bored easily and thus tended to stick to high intensity cardio, running and cycling and never bothered with weights. Donna has certainly given me an new outlook on toning and each session is far from boring! I've really noticed a difference and what's more I'm having a lot of fun in the process...Roll on the next session!

Helen, Titchmarsh: Personal Fitness

Aged 40, 3 children later, overweight and posture poor! Just knew I had to do something and really didn't like the idea of a "gym" and wanted something more private so when Donna started her new venture I thought yes it's time! I am finding the whole experience fun and addictive. My posture has improved immensely in just a few weeks along with visible signs in my tummy, arms & legs. Losing inches and many positive comments from friends. Feeling good on the inside and good on the outside! Looking forward to the next months results. Watch this space.

Karen, Bedford: Accounts

As a self employed equine therapist, I do not need to worry as Donna has taken over the management of my day to day accounts, taking the stress away from me and leaving me to free to work with my clients horses. Donna also acts as my Agent and completes Self Assessment Forms, all things I dread and hate doing! I have found her services so valuable, she is a pleasure to work with and thank you so much.

Emma, Kettering: Reiki

I will fully admit that I was sceptical at first and ddn't really understand what it involved or what Reiki could do for me. Although it is difficult to describe what Reiki is I would like to say that the sessions with Donna were wonderful. The level of relaxation and calmness I felt during and after the sessions was amazing. It was a chance for me to completely relax, become calm and re-energise. For me it beats a massage for relaxation. If you need some "me time" and a chance to wash away your fears and anxieties then I really believe that Reiki is the answer. I would not hesitate to recommend a series of Reiki sessions to all my friends.
