Hi,
my name is Jo Walker. As a teenager I was never much into sports
and spent most of my spare time with my horses. Upon moving to
Ilfracombe I attended some Aerobics classes and it wasn't long before I
was hooked.
After a lot of hard work and revision I passed my "Exercise to Music"
theory and practical exam in July 1990. I am a long standing member of
Fitness Professional who provide me with my Public Liability Insurance
and also with dates and venues of fitness workshops which I attend
regularly.
It is important to me to deliver classes that are safe, effective and
enjoyable. After running classes in school halls for fourteen years I
was offered what's now STUDIO 20 and I jumped at the chance of being
able to finally offer more content to my classes with the added use of
weights and various other pieces of equipment that I couldn't in a
school hall.
At STUDIO 20 I teach a wide range of classes from BODY BLITZ and SUPER
CIRCUITS to classes that target problem areas such as BODY SCULPT and
BODY CONDITIONING.
Over the years I have gained a wealth of knowledge and experience which
is invaluable in helping to motivate and encourage people in achieving
their personal goals. Seeing the fantastic results my clients achieve
leaves no room for questioning whether my classes really work..
Working out isn't just about achieving physical changes to our bodies
it is also hugely beneficial in improving confidence and general well
being.
I also do one to one personal training for people who prefer to train
alone or need a bit of extra help with training and weight loss.
TESTIMONIES FROM PAST CLIENTS
“Exercise has never been something I particularly enjoyed but
after having my daughter I couldn’t seem to lose my extra
weight. I had heard how good Jo was as a personal trainer so contacted
her. I absolutely love our training sessions, full of new exercises
every week which stops the boredom which I though came with exercising.
Massive Thank you Jo I’ve got my pre-baby body back”
“With each session my confidence increased and my weight
dropped. Its given me a new lease of life, I can’t thank you
enough”
“Highly Motivating and exhilarating sessions!”
“After a job change my weight began slowly increasing. I
didn’t feel confident enough to try a class or go to the gym
so I contracted Jo for help. Not only did I lose the weight and tone
up, my confidence and self esteem levels increased enough for me to
join the gym. I still see Jo for training once a week and also use the
gym in between our sessions. Thank you so much Jo.”
“Jo has been an absolute rock. I have lost a total of just
under 11st and could not have managed without her help, support and of
course her fantastic training sessions.”
“After many failed attempts at diet and fitness on my own, I
contacted Jo and together we worked out a plan tailor made for me. It
was amazing, the weight dropped off. My shape changed and my body was
so toned. Fantastic!! It really does work and it lasts!”
“All I need to say is Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant! Worth
every penny”
Call me on 01271 862019 or 07791 045310 to book a session
I feel very fortunate not only to have such a fantastic studio but more
importantly to enjoy teaching my classes as much today as when I first
began sixteen years ago!!
I look forward to seeing YOU in class and hope you enjoy your time
spent at STUDIO 20 as much as I do....
I
have trained in martial arts, boxing and weight training for a number
of years. Martial Arts has taken up a lot of my time, as I've grown up
I have enjoyed learning Kickboxing, Karate, Tae-Kwon-Do and Thai Boxing
and am now hoping to be able to pass on all that I have learnt over the
years. I have had 4 years experience instructing in areas from Martial
Arts to coaching rugby and football sessions. Last year I ran Kick -
Fit at Studio 20 the class was open for boys and girls and was very
popular however, I feel that there is a lot offered for girl and the
boys seem to get a bit left out. In September 2006 I started work in
the new gym at Studio 20 which I am really enjoying and now I have
settled I feel I have the time to dedicate in helping boys become
fitter and have more self-confidence. 
I was
a professional dancer who trained and performed with Ballet Rambert
where I was introduced to Pilates. During a break from
my career
to raise my daughter, I became qualified in Sports Nutrition, Massage
and Remedial Therapy (advanced application soft tissue manipulation)
and Kinetic Control. I have also certified in Post-Rehabilitation and
mat work by Polstar PIlates UK.
I moved to North devon in 2002 and have been busier than ever
specialising in Pilates rehabilitation in my own clinic where
people can safely progress onto classes.
I'm Miranda and I run the Pole Affinity Fitness classes at Studio 20.
