Reviews of Elspeth Alexandra
s. h.
I have just started small group training for pregnancy with Elspeth (along with her pregnant power up class which I have been attending for a while). I cannot recommend Elspeth highly enough. She is amazing, encouraging and really really really knows her stuff when it comes to your body and how it changes through pregnancy and beyond. It's great to work out in a what feels like a super safe environment knowing you're not doing the wrong thing and keeping strong during pregnancy!
Thanks for being there Elspeth! Stay awesome 😎

I attend pregnancy power-up classes and I really look forward to a Sunday morning now. The class is very sociable as you do a lot of partner exercises so have met some lovely other pregnant mums. I also feel like I am getting a great workout in a safe environment with a nice balance of cardio and strength. You can work at your own pace as well . Elspeth is great at teaching good technique and correcting my posture if needed so that I do the exercises in the safest way and I am probably stronger than before I was pregnant. I am also glad I get to do some pelvic floor strength as well since this is something I am not so good at remembering at home and its also good to know the correct technique.. On top of that the musics great too

If you're looking for fun and safe ways to move during your pregnancy as well as meet others going through similar experiences look no further than Elspeth's Pregnancy Power Up class! The class is held in a clean, well-aired and well equipped gym, and the class size isn't too big. A great way to meet people and pick up timely tips, tricks and advice for the impending life change that is ahead 😅

Great class with wonderful support both during exercise and for pregnancy chat! Helps out your mind at ease about how much your body can do whilst growing another human being and does so in a lovely environment. Very welcoming!

A massage from Elspeth is such a treat. After my massage treatment I move differently (I feel so free and graceful, even if I don't look it!). I can't put in to words how wonderful the c section scar release allowing a new level of breathing feels!

What a great class this was. I was a bit nervous about going along at first but as soon as I got there I was welcomed by Elspeth and many other mummies to be :) It was such a caring and welcoming environment with no additional pressures like you get at some other gyms. I was informed about how the session would work and was made to feel in safe capable hands. I was able to workout at my own pace at the same time as meeting some pregnant woman just like myself - great way to keep fit and form mummy relationships. Thank you Elspeth I will definitely be returning.

I absolutely love Elspeth's Power Up Pregnancy fitness class. It's a good workout in a safe environment with an expert in pregnancy exercise so ticks every box. It's a lovely way to meet other people and it's such a lovely group and a great environment. Can't recommend highly enough!

I attended Elspeth's Pregnancy Power Up class for the first time this week. Prior to going along I was finding it difficult to get guidance on what to do/what not to do during pregnancy. I was also quite anxious and had been feeling a little alone not knowing any other mum's to be.
Elspeth immediately made me feel welcome. She clearly explained what to expect and how to do everything safely. Everyone is so friendly and I soon settled in. It is great to be properly active again after spending my first trimester in bed!!!!
I came away feeling great that I had moved and worked, and elated that I had met a lovely community. I'll definitley be back and I highly recommend. If you are wondering whether or not to go along, just do it!

I had a great few sessions with Elspeth who was supporting me to build more strength training into my somewhat middle aged, menopausal exercise regime.
I loved my sessions. Elspeth was hugely knowledgeable, encouraging and fun to be with. I feel kick started into another aspect of fitness, particularly important as I age. I would highly recommend her and her approach.
Thank you.

Elspeth is a miracle worker!! I have taken many of her classes starting with Pregnancy Power Up when I was pregnant, which really helped me feel strong and helped me tremendously when I was in labor. After giving birth I moved on to her Mighty Mums class which was perfect for a post-natal body. She helped me start to feel like myself again with workouts that were designed to help you feel your best. I am now taking her Avocado AM classes which are amazing and help me stay fit in a short amount of time. During COVID, Elspeth was fantastic at adapting her in-person classes to online and has created a truly seamless experience. I recommend her to anyone who is looking for a caring, upbeat, and lovely instructor to help them on any journey they are on!

I absolutely recommend Elspeth's classes!! I am doing the zoom classes on Sunday and it feels inclusive and personal.
Absolutely enjoy the pregnancy powerup and feel especially welcome being a plus size mum-to-be.
Elspeth is empowering and body positive and turns every workout in great fun.
So if you are trying to find someone supportive to get you fit for birth and makes you feel confident in your body and on top of that is very knowledgeable then this is definitely the right place.
Thank you!
Cheers,
Jilly

I did my first power up pregnancy class yesterday and it was brilliant. I felt great doing it - it was just the right balance of pushing enough to make you feel like you're doing a work out while feeling totally safe. Elspeth was great throughout and the class was a really enjoyable hour. I would absolutely recommend to anyone thinking about it. I've signed up for the next month.

I started Elspeths pregnancy power up at about 16 weeks and through to 37 weeks . This is my 4th baby and I cannot believe the difference this class has made to me . Mentally it was great to keep moving and I firmly believe this class helped me have such a positive birth as was physically prepared and my recovery has been fantastic due to this and much different to the other 3 . Elspeth is very knowledgeable and such a great support. I am so thankful I committed myself to this class and gave my body what It needed to meet the demands of pregnancy, birth and post natal recovery.

Elspeth is brilliant! She’s hugely knowledgeable and passionate about what she does, and classes are fun and inclusive. I’ve done Pregnancy Power-Up, Mighty Mums and Athlete AM so far and all are really well set up. The gym is great when it’s possible but Elspeth manages to make Zoom fun too. Highly recommend

Ive done pregnancy power up and mighty mums and found both hugely beneficial, fun and the zoom classes are ideally suited to me working around my baby. Elspeth's classes are a perfect balance of cv and strength training, I really enjoy them and look forward to them. Highly recommend!

I am 20 weeks pregnant and was struggling with some leg pain. I saw a physio who recommended joining Elspeth’s class. I’m so glad I did, it felt so good to move and exercise with the confidence that I was supported by an expert. I felt so good after the class and can’t wait for my next one. Great to meet other mums to be too.

Elspeth’s classes are great, I would highly recommend them to any new mum. She caters for all levels and abilities and makes everyone in the class feel supported. You will come away having done a great work out and having had a great time!

I've attended both Elspeth's Pregnancy Powerup and Mighty Mum's classes and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her for a second. She makes you feel safe and confident in an ever changing body whilst creating fun and challenging workouts. Go for it!
L. M.
I have done both Holistic Core Restore and Avocado courses with Elspeth. I would highly recommend both courses. Elspeth really knows her stuff. She makes it easy to join in and builds brilliant community to keep you motivated.

Elspeth does an amazing job at creating a welcoming, warm and relaxed atmosphere in group online sessions and provides gentle but enthusiastic encouragement to get moving in a positive way to aid postnatal recovery. I'd highly recommend her.
L. P.
Elspeth’s classes are excellent. I’d recommend them to all mum’s to be! She knows her stuff and will keep you motivated. It’s a great place to meet new mums to be too! Thanks!

I can really recommend Elspeth. She specialises and women's health and fitness. She has a particular skill set with pregnant and postnatal women. I did the HCR course a while ago and spoiler alert, you don't have to be pregnant or postnatal to reap the benefits. Her knowledge is extensive and makes taboo subjects engaging and fun. It'll change the way you exercise and help you focus on what's important. Control of my core, pelvic floor and my balance instantly improved.
I now regularly also join her 30/30 HCR Rel-ease alongside the one hour Rel-ease session. I join the these online (depending on when you read this, I'm writing this during the COVID-19 lockdown) and they have not lost any of their quality (personally it works better for my schedule). Teaching online is very hard and Elspeth manages to connect with you through the ether. Not many trainers/ teachers manage this.

I attended Elspeth’s class from 15 weeks and absolutely loved it. I enjoyed keeping active in a safe, supported way. The class has a really friendly, fun atmosphere and has been a great way to meet people. I can’t recommend it enough!
