Emma GJ Personal Training & Pilates - Ilkley

I have attended numerous One Body Strength and Spin classes led by Emma. She is undoubtedly the best instructor I’ve had. Incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, motivating and everything she does is totally purposeful. I’ve also attended a workshop where I learnt so much about mobility and strength work. Emma really is so knowledgeable about how to prevent and recover from injury, and maintain mobility and flexibility. Highly recommend!

I recently attended a great session with Emma focussed on how to maintain knee/ lower limb health. A really practical session with some useful tips on how to stay healthy and mobile, with time and space to ask questions specific to me. I'm now following her follow up advice with regular strength/ mobility exercises. Would recommend.

Strong recommend to go to any of Emma’s classes or work with her 1 on 1. Deeply knowledgeable and passionate about the human form on what we can achieve regardless of age or ability. Always loads of fun and motivating. In fact this is my reminder to get back to her spin class!

I’ve been going to Emma’s OneBody Strength class at ILTSC for over a year now and there’s nothing I’d prefer to do first thing on a Tuesday morning. The enthusiasm, passion and ability to explain everything to a class of people at all different levels is so impressive. I’ve personally been unable to do exercises due to injury and Emma will always come over quietly and explain something else I could do instead. I’ve always loved how we have an end goal (hand stands at the moment!) and we work towards them, with Emma using exercises that target the smallest of muscles that you don’t even realise you need, then all of a sudden one week you’re in a full handstand wondering how that happened! It’s such a great welcoming atmosphere and I know her PT sessions live up to that too. Couldn’t recommend her enough

Emma is an exceptional PT and Instructor. Having had the pleasure to be trained by Emma, not only were the workouts challenging and progressive, Emma has an incredible depth of knowledge upon training and the functional benefits on the body too. One of the best experiences is attending Emma's classes which are professionally run, enjoyable, informative and highly beneficial from functional fitness to Pilates. Always good fun watching her social media and the numerous hand stand attempts and selfless approach to all.

I have been working with Emma for almost two years now and I must say that she is one of the best spin instructors I have ever come across. Having attended hundreds of spin classes, I can confidently say that Emma's classes are both progressive and challenging but never repetitive. I have witnesses her warm and welcoming nature when encouraging new attenders in classes.

As a strength and conditioning Personal Trainer, Emma is excellent and has designing programs that are innovative and creative.Her enthusiastic personality is infectious and she has a natural ability to motivate and challenge me to push myself beyond my limits.

Overall, I have and do highly recommend Emma's services to anyone looking for a Personal Trainer. She is passionate about fitness and dedicated to helping clients reach their goals.

As an aging triathlete, the importance of strength work is not lost on me - but the motivation to do it is. I turned to Emma, having attended several of her excellent Pilates classes, and she has certainly helped build strength work in to my week.
She isn’t a ‘one-size fits all’ type of PT and certainly knows her stuff about strength and movement.
She then tailors her approach to your needs.

A very informative session learning about flexibility, mobility and strengthening. Demonstration of exercises with resources as a takeaway. Emma as wonderful as ever.
