Move Mind Connect

I absolutely love my one-on-one sessions with Janine. I am returning to exercise after a break due to illness and I couldn’t do it without her. She is amazingly supportive, intuitive and encouraging. The sessions are targeted to me and my needs and I am loving feeling the exercise burn again. Each session is different and leaves me feeling energised and enthusiastic. I feared that wouldn’t happen again but Janine honestly cares about you. She is a brilliant listener and a beautiful person. Highly recommend.

I love my Move Mind Connect sessions and look forward to them every week! I enjoy being outdoors - I would find it hard to train indoors again! I’ve been training with Janine for over 2 years now - every session is different and Janine knows everyone’s level of fitness and adjusts accordingly. They are fun and social and I always come away feeling happy and connected. There’s a strong focus on keeping a happy mind along with a healthy body. The one to one sessions are amazing too - goal based and Janine really pushes you to be your best! I love feeling strong. We also have a social group where we enjoy hikes, dinners and week ends away. It’s the best!

I met Janine at Fitness First as a trainerI have been to approximately 8 trainers and her business offers understanding of mental health issue not to the full degree but to the degree I never experienced with other trainersAnd that’s why I am writing this review as I know there are mental health patients seeking trainers - but cannot find someone with real empathy of /for mental health issue(I would like a make a quick note - I know it is important for patient oneself have to communicate specificity of the condition as it varies depending on variables)I am currently going through C-PTSD (to the level I was going close to the death), and at times the trainer helped me through “low”, which I believe is “the gift” of the trainer - and something I was and am very thankful forIn addition her knowledge of physical training was the highest I experienced.She was correctly alternate details of exercise according to the pain/ which muscles are working. In my experience this level of expertise is rareOne feedback i could give - the trainer rushed at times (never out of the degree of norm of trainers). I just want to give feedback it is important for patients to be consciously———————-Additional informationAbove review had been written while I was suffering from symptoms of PTSD, and somehow at one point I thought I was “clashed” with Janine during sessions. (That part of the review was deleted not long after). That never happenedAlso I used term “trainer” to keep myself objective I think - and I do love Janine but objectively she is the great trainerFeedback is true, I do not think that’s Janine’s individual limitation - societally we are still in the stage of communication. The fact she opened lines of communication in the first place at this stage of mental health issue is also something very valuable to me.

Love everything about Move Mind Connect. The group training sessions are jam packed and always different and fun! The one2one sessions are goal focused and have helped my build my strength and confidence and change lifestyle.Janine knows all of her clients and their individual strengths and goals and works around these.I was new to the area on have met lots of new friends through MMC.

I started joining group PT sessions with Janine @ Move Mind Connect a few years ago. I was looking to get moving again, after a number of years of not doing any regular exercise. I didn't expect to find anything more than a good regular exercise group....What I actually found was a caring, committed, hardworking personal trainer who is absolutely brilliant at being a PT, but she's also interested in each and every one of her clients outside of PT, she wants to learn about them, what makes them get up every morning, what is happening for them when they leave the PT session, what are their goals - and not just fitness goals. Janine focuses on you as a whole person, not just for the 45 minutes that you're in her class. What I also found was an amazing group of people that are welcoming, supportive and heaps of fun. There is always a good laugh in the group sessions, it's a community. If you're looking to get moving again, like I was, I cannot recommend Move Mind Connect and Janine more highly.
