      • Sue Johns
      • As you know I am delighted by our the Zoom sessions! I was so impressed with the speed and efficiency that Fit 8 set up the Zoom sessions and adapted them to be as effective at home as they are in the gym. I really look forward to my daily class and am getting brilliant help and advice from Olga to fix my calf which I pulled with too much walking before I joined up to Fit 8 on Zoom! I’m hoping this option will still be available when social isolation ends. Thank you so much and keep safe xx
      • Hayes Collins
      • Fit8 have been outstanding during the lockdown period, allowing me to maintain and increase my fitness level through daily sessions via Zoom. My daughter is even allowed to join for free from her house. Great job Fit8!!
      • Derek
      • Hi Olga, Please tell the team that there is no need to check in with us as we are so happy with Fit 8 right now. You guys have been brilliant and we are thrilled to be members! Thank you all so much
      • Rochelle
      • By and large it’s great. The internet connection from the gym and Fernando’s home sometimes leave a lot to be desired - tethering from a phone works better - but other than that it’s great.
      • Quintin
      • Very good thanks - enjoying the experience. Also many thanks for the bands delivered today.
      • David Ainsworth
      • Hi there ! I am so pleased to be able to continue my Fit8 training by interactive Sessions . It has worked so well ,involving a bit of social communication with other members, along with the usual excellent standard of ‘Normal’ gym sessions. Olga, my knee seems on track- a few twinges but getting there- swelling minimal Thank you
      • Pam
      • Hi Olga, Hope you’re safe and well! The sessions have been great so far. All of the instructors are so friendly and do a really good job of explaining the correct form, which can’t be easy over Zoom. The fact that the circuits target as many areas of the body as possible (lower body, upper body and core) is also helpful as I spend most of the rest of the day sitting at a desk while working from home. It’s also been great to learn different exercises that use resistance bands in the sessions - I hadn’t really used them before and really enjoy them as an alternative way to add resistance when you can’t get to a gym to use weights. It’s very kind of the team to let me join the sessions as “friends and family” of a member so thank you for letting me participate!
      • Gaby
      • I think the sessions are great! A light in these bleak times!
      • Susie Hoddel
      • They are better without the music in the background, thank you
      • Nadia
      • The online sessions are working really well. It is great to see familiar faces and far more personal than doing other online exercise sessions. Other people have mentioned it, but would be great to have music somehow. Thank you all!
      • Susie.
      • Its my best lifeline beyond the 4 walls....amazingly good feelings! Thanks! Working well as far as I’m concerned - a small reminder of normality! Helps with routine too. If people could remember to mute themselves on Zoom then we can all hear the trainer rather than them huffing and puffing! Keep up the good work
      • Geoff
      • All good so far, think it’s great Has become an integral part of my work from home routine and a great way to unwind after a day of staring at screens!
      • Amyn
      • I have done 2 xZoom sessions now one with 2 others and one solo , both worked well . A good way to keep a level fitness going and feel a sense of connection with other fit 8 members and the trainer..no equipment needed!
      • Sandra
      • I’m very grateful to FIT8 for organising the zoom connections for my workouts. I have set goals for this next twelve weeks and with my regular sessions I will achieve them. Thanks for the ongoing support.
      • Helen Jones
      • Really cool! Amazing support Let’s keep going
      • Nick Basing
      • I’ve already had 2 x Zoom interactive PT sessions this week and am so glad I did! It was fun, energising and exhausting!! Definitely helping to keep me going through the lockdown! Thank you.
      • Claire Emerton
      • It was great to see Fernando and keep up with exercising only downside was zoom kept freezing but I would rather than put up with that than no zooming at all!
      • Susie
      • I had two Zoom interactive sessions this week. One with Alastair and one with Kiki. Both trainers did a great job with well thought out programmes, clear instructions and helpful “demos”. The technology worked fine and I am sure we will get more expert with it as the weeks go on. Is there any reason we can’t re-introduce the classes as week as the smaller session? Thanks to the whole team for setting the ZOOM sessions up.
      • Tony
      • I am thoroughly enjoying the online zoomTraining sessions - in fact I actively look forward to them (something which surprised me having never been a sporty type). I find that having a session time booked in the diary makes sure I commit to exercising and remain motivated to push myself during the covid19 lockdown. No two sessions are the same - all credit to the imagination and experience of the Fit8 team.
        Keep up the great work guys !
      • Clare
      • The Interactive Sessions, are doing wonders for not only my fitness health but also my mind, this is fitness for all levels of the highest standard, I am so appreciative of the contact and the sessions that the team are coming up with.
      • Darryl
      • My fit8 Zoom sessions are a really important part of giving me structure to my days. I have also noticed my strength and flexibility are improving’

      • To Whom It May Concern,
        I write to you as the CEO of Tennis Australia regarding Kieron Vorster who I have known for 20 years and predominantly in my time as South African Davis Cup Captain from 1999-2002.
        During my tenure as Davis Cup Captain, Kieron Vorster was an integral part of the team. He has a diverse skill set from sports massage therapy to assisting and working with the players both on and off the court. He certainly assisted in making my role more successful during this time. His ability to apply his experience into working with professional athletes greatly enhanced the performance of the team. Kieron has a long and successful track record.
        He was always approachable on team selection and always gave a balanced and well informed response which helped me with my decision making.
        Should you need to any further information please don’t hesitate to contact me.
        Best regards,
      • Craig Tiley
      • Tennis Australia CEO
      • They said as long as I follow the routines and exercises laid out for me I will be fixed in no time….they weren’t wrong! Because I have been fully supported and my sessions adapted I am well on the road to recovery!
      • Gregg
      • The quality of the therapy made all the difference in my recovery and I feel fortunate to have found fit8 – its a great places with great people.
      • Daniel
      • fit8 is one of the three main reasons why I live in Wimbledon Village. It is the most enjoyable & kind gym I have ever belonged to, as well as being focused, demanding and challenging.
      • Peter
      • When I set my David Lloyd Academy up I had no hesitation in putting Vossy (Kieron Vorster) in charge. He did a great job and the scheme would still be going today if the LTA had not changed their method of funding. Vossy was great with the kids and also could run the financial side which is always very important . It's unusual to find these qualities in one person . If I was starting a new Academy Vossy would be top of my list.
      • David Lloyd
      • The care, interest & motivation each Coach gives to the members is exceptional and they’ve taken care of my knee damaged by salmonella food poisoning that attacked my right knee. The range of motion has increased and I can enjoy exercise once again thanks to fit8!
      • Carole
      • They said as long as I follow the routines and exercises laid out for me I will be fixed in no time….they weren’t wrong! Because I have been fully supported and my sessions adapted I am well on the road to recovery!
      • Gregg
      • I joined Fit8 at Warren House in January this year. The coaches are enthusiastic and highly qualified. No two work outs are the same. Different phases of training have increased my strength and fitness levels and have enabled me to reduce my golf handicap by five shots to 11.
      • Natasha
      • Kieron has been my Strength and Conditioning coach for the past 3 years.
        During that time Kieron has developed an individually tailored programme for my specific bio-mechanical needs and one that is designed to enhance my performance in the style of tennis that I like to play. My game is based on power, strength and dynamic movement.
        Four months ago, I developed Patella Tendonitis.
        It is an over-use injury that developed in my transitioning year from me competing in both high level junior tournaments and competing in the pro -Men’s Futures tournaments.
        Kieron has been instrumental in helping me to rehabilitate and developing a programme that not only got me back out playing but out stronger and fitter than before, so that I am better able to cope with the rigors of the Mens game.
        During my rehabilitation, Kieron spent two months working 6 days a week with me. He accompanied me in appointments to see the; Knee/ Tendon Consultant Specialists, Tendon specific Physiotherapist, National LTA Physiotherapist and Doctor and liaised continuously with my own Individual Tennis coach. To ensure that everyone was working together towards my optimal recovery.
        Kieron has developed a programme for me that was based on the most up-to-date theories of recovery from this injury and that would strengthen my body to help prevent a reoccurrence. This includes an ongoing fitness programme that we can work on both when I am at base training and when I am out on the road competing.
        There is a lot of hard work and perseverance required in any efforts to become a professional sports man. Working with Kieron who is totally professional and reliable, makes the journey easier. He has been a constant source of encouragement, which has helped me to push myself and he has shared the journey through some of the tougher times of my injury, making them a little easier to get through.

      • After joining fit8 a year ago, my fitness and attitude towards sport, has changed considerably. I joined the gym with exercise-induced asthma and over the year this has improved dramatically. The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming. The coaches are kind, understanding and professional. The workouts are always challenging and varied & the coaches are happy to adapt the sessions to help me achieve my goals.

      • Kieron Vorster worked as my strength and conditioning coach from November 1999 to July 2002 where he used his skills and knowledge to make sure that I was in prime condition to compete at the highest level week in and week out on the ATP Tour.
        He was forward thinking in his recovery strategies in order for me to optimise my performance on court when competing on the Tour and at the Grand Slams.
        He was an integral member of my team for the success I had during the period outlined above.

      • Adan
      • joined fit8 midway through august of 2013. I was the heaviest I have ever been, had damaged ligaments in my left knee and was also in the worst physical shape of my adult life. Not a pleasant thing considering the fact that I have always been very active and into martial arts. I had foolishly signed up to do a “tough mudder” obstacle course at the start of October and it was coming down to the wire. From the beginning the coaches were very professional, knowledgeable and helpful as regards my own personal goals. The first few exercise sessions were tough enough to push my limits but not too tough so that I didn’t get hooked and wanted to give up. With only 6 weeks of fitness coaching and a focus on my damaged knee I was able to complete the 12mile run and 24 gruelling obstacles in a respectable time. An amazing result considering before I joined up I could run for less than 4 minutes at a time If you’re looking to get lasting results and need help with motivation then fit8 is the place is for you. I have even convinced my brother to sign up. My thanks go to all the coaches for allowing me to complain during every exercise and getting me back on track to physical fitness.
      • Graeme
      • Kieron Vorster worked with me for 4 years as my fitness personal trainer. His work ethic is the best I have ever seen and throughout the time we worked together, he always made sure I was in the best possible physical shape in order for me to perform at my highest level at all times. He would prioritize peaking so I could perform my best at the grand slams.

      • Charchie
      • I joined fit8 4 months ago having done very little exercise since being diagnosed with ME over 20 years ago. Not only did I struggle with constant low energy levels but neck/shoulder pain from a childhood accident and severe weekly migraine attacks. Since joining, my energy levels have increased dramatically, my neck/shoulder pain has decreased, I am stronger and I haven’t had a migraine for over 8 weeks now! The fit8 team, especially Sam, Hannah and Kieron have been so encouraging and enthusiastic in helping me overcome my physical difficulties I now have a spring in my step and look forward to my next session! Thank you guys, my only regret is not discovering you earlier!
      • Melissa
      • Kieron is an amazing fitness and conditioning coach. I was struggling with my shoulder and fitness he gave me some good insight into keeping fit. I think working with him makes you understand how to train and when to train. Also whatever goals you have he tries his best to help you but I believe he can really achieve your goal and exceed your expectations. For a South African he still got poor banter!! Awesome trainer, brilliant knowledge.
