GC Fitness Studio

Getting in shape shouldn't be a punishment. It's an amazing and empowering lifestyle decision that anyone can make. I believe in finding the pleasurable side of fitness, and while there maybe a sore muscle or two along the way, the benefits of fitness are worth the challenge. I have developed my training regime by working with a variety of people, and constantly adapting my programme to the needs of my clients.

I started training with Gemma a couple of years ago. My only exercise up to then had been running and I had hit a plateau. My pace was slowing down and my weight was creeping up. I didn’t really know what to expect but I knew I needed a new challenge and right from the start Gemma helped me understand what I wanted to achieve and what I needed to do to get there. The following year I ran 10 races in 12 months, achieving some of my best times and feeling stronger and fitter than ever. Gemma helped me find the strength and determination to believe in myself and train in a way I never thought possible. Being in a gym is way out of my comfort zone but Gemma has helped me overcome my shyness and work hard to get the results I want. 

I approached Gemma a few years back. Her reputation preceded her and I chose her purely through recommendation! I was very nervous at the time but Gemma completely put me at ease and we made it about all the small milestones..At the time I was unfit and overweight and needed to change! However, now, I train for the love of the feeling not just the physical benefits! Don’t get me wrong, the sessions are tough but having someone guiding and encouraging me most certainly makes a difference and that is why I choose regular PTs over workouts on the internet.

I've known Gemma for well over 15 years played hockey alongside her and she's been my PT for over 3 years. A fantastic coach and great person to have on your side. Gemma has worked hard to overcome the challenges of Covid by running outdoor sessions and now PT by video call. She is my motivation and I couldn't have achieved what I have without her. Thank you Gemma Catlin you're an inspiration

I would highly recommend Gemma as a personal trainer. I have alot to thank Gemma for she has personally taught me so much about nutrition and training. Her knowledge is second to none. Her work speaks for itself. Her passion for fitness is admirable. She has the patience and kindness to go with it. Gemma introduced me to weight training and fitness as chubby 18 year old I am forever grateful. Training has become a lifestyle and thoroughly enjoy it.

Gemma is a fantastic PT. My preferred exercise is running and I had never really done any strength training until I started sessions with Gemma. Gemma has helped me with all round body conditioning and is super patient and if she can successfully train me she can train anyone! She also has a great sense of humour which means sessions pass quickly too
