TESTIMONIALS
Sharon, this is a note to say thank you for helping me get started on my new fitness routine. Your introductory sessions have given me an excellent foundation to build a fitter lifestyle. As a man in my late forties, with a reasonably sedate lifestyle, I am keenly aware of the potential health hazards that lie ahead so I am taking this very seriously. The program you developed for me is challenging but manageable and I can feel the results after four months in training.
Your assistance has brought results. The balance of resistance training, cardio, and stretching that you prescribed for me has had an effect I would describe as “no pain no gain”.
I very much appreciate the advice you have given me on matters related to training, such as hydration intake, rest, diet, and having an overall balanced lifestyle. I have also very much benefited from your efforts to do follow-up.
Above all, your program has given me a real sense of "new lease on life" since I now feel empowered and capable of effecting a successful rehabilitation, which I have not experienced before in the 15 years of my hectic corporate lifestyle.
As a result, I am very committed to the program you set out for me, and anticipate having future sessions with you to refine my program.
I would absolutely recommend your services to any other athletes or individuals seeking a program tailored to their particular requirement.

Sharon has taken me on a very measured journey, from a sedentary lifestyle (read: lazy!) to a very pleasing level of fitness.
Her manner is both encouraging and supportive, while also being challenging.
Her program provides variety, while also focusing on a consistent group of core exercises, and she manages to cater for a range of fitness levels within the group of attendees.
Thank you Sharon! You have successfully kick-started me into a healthier and more mobile lifestyle, in a very entertaining and supportive way. I now feel I have the direction and skills to maintain this fitness level (and improve!) outside of the Bootcamp situation. Susan (Multiple Sclerosis sufferer)”

When I first decided to do this, I was apprehensive, I had no confidence and I felt like I was going to fail before I even started - but from day one I found it a huge confidence builder and a great way for me to achieve my goals. This was in part the program structure itself, but also the comradery that is built through a small group of like minded people wanting to achieve similar goals - Sharon's style enhanced this comradery and allowed banter and humour to be a huge part of this camp - which was great.
4 weeks later I am still losing cm's and feeling better about myself as I have now broken habits that just seemed too hard to break when trying to do them by yourself. Thanks Sharon

My fitness levels have increased dramatically. I originally began the camp for employment purposes. I soon found I was using it to change the way I was living on the nutiritional side of things. I am competitive by nature and found that the more camps I did (3 in a row) the more enthused I became about the extended output I could achieve. I found Sharon to be knowledgable, enthusiastic and able to cater to all levels of fitness. It was obvious that she put a lot of thought into varying her workouts given the different exercises she put us through. I found the whole experience has made me a healthier person and I will be back doing more in the summer. I would have no hesitation in recomending Sharon to anyone who wishes to change their level of fitness.

Since attending Jigsaw Fitness boot camp I can’t believe how committed I am to a healthy diet and exercise regime. The motivation gained daily from being part of the group was fantastic and even the 5am wakeups were not a deterrent. Thanks Sharon for a great experience and one that I definitely intend to duplicate in the future.

From my first phone call to Sharon I was impressed, and knew I was in good hands.
I have been working out at Gyms for years, but was looking for a different form of exercise that would get results and also be enjoyable and keep me motivated to continue.
Sharon tailored a programme to suit my needs perfectly. Her nursing background gives her an edge over other trainers, and she keeps up to date with what’s new in health and fitness, and passes that information on to me. She even shares the occasional healthy recipe! Sharon provides a personalised service, she is truly interested in each individual and is dedicated to helping all her clients achieve their goals.
I attend training sessions at Sharon’s home studio, which is really well set up with all the cardio, weights, resistance and strengthening equipment you could ask for. We also head outside sometimes for a change of scenery! It’s so convenient, there is no waiting around to use machines like at the gym, and the one on one time means every minute is well used. Sharon likes to vary the routine each week, so I never get bored, and can never be too sure what is coming up next! The sessions Sharon puts me through are hard work, but also lots of fun. Her encouragement as well as seeing results keeps me striving for more. Every week I leave with a spring in my step and a smile on my face.
Since training with Jigsaw Fitness I have achieved my goals and much more. I am now fitter, stronger, healthier and happier. And what I have learnt from training with Sharon has really set me up for leading a better quality of life.
I highly recommend Sharon and Jigsaw Fitness. Just give her a call and have a chat, she is professional, friendly and very approachable.

I had been looking for a bootcamp experience for a little while after losing motivation at gym, but was put off by a local trainer using a park nearby which seemed very exposed to passing traffic. I loved the relative privacy of Monty Sth Primary - what a great venue for exercising.
As a regular gym user I came to bootcamp not so much to lose weight but to improve fitness and perhaps lose a few more centimetres. After some intial debate, I decided to commit fully to the program, cutting out the caffeine, dairy and following the other recommendations. After all, I figured if you're going to make the effort with the exercise, you may as well commit to the nutritional side of things otherwise its only a half-hearted effort. I also followed the exercise regime for the "off days" walking 7km 3 times a week plus the RB exercises. I was quite surprised with how much fitness I gained in just 6 weeks, and really my improvements in strength were evident after just a couple of weeks. It was great to see my times improving with the runs and exercises becoming just that little bit easier to do. I lost 2kg and 13cm overall and my fitness improved noticeably. Great results for just 6 weeks of effort.
I loved the interval training, the way Sharon mixes the program up and balances the program with sound nutritional advice. The program is a great challenge not just physically but also mentally to push yourself to a new level.
I found the program very informative and have now reassessed my training methods based on a new level of understanding of nutrition and fitness.
I would highly recommend this program whether you have a good level of fitness or just beginning - there's something in it for everyone.

As a qualified personal trainer coupled with her background as a registered nurse Sharon provides practical exercise programs and nutritional advice that assists you with your personal health and fitness goals. Whether you want to lose some weight or just get into better physical shape, Sharon custom designs an exercise program that helps you achieve your overall objectives.
In my case, following my retirement in late 2006, I began walking 5-6 kms a day expecting that I would start to lose some weight. While my fitness improved somewhat there was no real change in my weight.
In mid-June 2008 I started twice weekly one hour one on one personal training sessions with Sharon. These sessions coupled with some suggested adjustments to my diet have seen my overall fitness improve dramatically and I have lost 7 kgs to date.
While I have been fortunate to enjoy overall good health, I have been taking medication for high blood pressure for a number of years. Following my weight loss coupled with my improved fitness my daily medication has been reduced significantly. I have been told that with further improvements to my weight and fitness that I may be able to stop taking high blood pressure medication altogether.
Sharon provides challenging exercise sessions but does not aggressively push you past your comfort zone.
