Hello, my name is Saskia and I run FitnessBuzz, a fitness based company in Rayleigh, Essex. FitnessBuzz is aimed at inspiring you to be active and healthy.

Before I started working out, I was 7 and a half stone, skinny, no confidence, always getting ill, hated the way I looked but didn’t know what I could do to change it. I started going to the gym after a doctor told me my posture was extremely poor and could damage my back. When I entered the gym for the first time I felt so scared and intimidated, didn’t know what I was doing and after a few months I wasn’t getting anywhere.

I met Saskia for the first time and she listened to everything what I wanted to achieve. It seemed a million miles away and I was sure I could never do it but she always reassured me it was possible. She began giving me plans to workout with and told me how to focus on my diet. Before long I started noticing changes. It took some time and persistence but I began noticing more and more changes.

It’s very well going into a gym and picking up some weights for a hour or so, but unless you know what your doing what form to use, what weight to use you won’t get very far. Saskia helped me with all of this and in 4 years I have increased by weight 5 stone, become stronger than everyone in my family! And feel one hundred times more confident in myself.

Without Saskia I would have still been wasting my time in the gym, repping out pointless reps in the gym, getting no where. I would 100% recommend Saskia for any guy out there wanting to get their beast mode activated!!!

After having 3 children I had neglected looking after my body and it had changed 😫and not in a good way! I had also broken my back and developed an auto immune disease which had left me feeling exhausted, tired and sometimes in pain. Ultimately it made me feel really down about myself. I first met Saskia through my sister who wanted to get into shape before her holiday. I reluctantly came along to support her. However on meeting Saskia it was like a breath of fresh air. She is funny, gives realistic goals and expectations as a personal trainer. The workouts are adapted to you and are different each week making it fun and challenging. As I enjoyed the PT sessions so much I continued and five years later I’m still loving my PT sessions and enjoying my fitter body.

Due to my back injury I often get a tight, painful back and neck. Saskia's amazing full body massages are great. I feel human again after a massage session! They are so good I’ve recommended to friends and family and my children have had the treat several times of one Saskia's back massages.

I’ve been a member of FitnessBuzz for 3 years now and can’t recommend enough. I’ve always enjoyed the variety of classes on offer but through lockdown the online classes have become a life line! Saskia is a brilliant motivator, all the classes are accessible for all and fun as well as being challenging.

I’ve recently completed the January challenge in order to kick start healthy eating and a regular fitness regime. It’s been brilliant, I lost weight and toned up but more importantly found a diet that works for me and is maintainable going forward.

Thank you Saskia for all you to do to keep us motivated and healthy!

I have been training with Saskia for nearly 7 years. Saskia’s classes are very varied and for all abilities. Saskia shows great enthusiasm and has a positive attitude which motivates me and keeps me on track. The classes have been very beneficial not only to get fitter, stronger and healthier but help enormously with mental health and well-being.

The results I see are fantastic. My fitness level is probably the best it’s been for a long time and I feel great! Thank you Saskia!

Saskia has such infectious passion, enthusiasm and motivation to help you to be the best version of you! She has helped me so much over the years, we all experience ups and downs through life and joining the FitnessBuzz classes was the best thing I ever did. The classes are welcoming, friendly and fun but most importantly achievable for anyone of any fitness level. Attending sessions has not only helped my fitness levels but has helped my mental wellbeing as well, Saskia has seen me at my best and my worst, she has seen me through my highs and my lows and not once has she given up on me!

Her online classes through lockdown have truly kept me sane and I say that with hand on heart and with the biggest thanks. Her classes never get boring, she’s always changing things up and introducing new classes to keep you interested and engaged. She works so hard to provide something for everyone and for that I am truly grateful.

In the time that we have been attending FitnessBuzz classes we have found that our overall strength and flexibility has improved enormously, this is down to the way that Saskia varies & structures her classes catering for everyone’s capabilities. Her motivational skills and infectious personality make us look forward to each and every class.

In addition to the fitness classes, Saskia offers 1st class sports and injury massages which both of us have benefitted from tremendously and highly recommend.

When I first started Saskia's classes 10 years ago, I was a complete hater of exercise. I'd seen her advertising her Zumba class and, as an ex-dancer, thought I'd give it a try, dragging my sister along. I was hooked from day 1! Since then, I've tried so many of Saskia's classes, pushing myself out of my comfort zone but always in a fun, supportive way. Not only has my fitness and confidence improved, I've made lots of new friends on the way.

Everyone who attends genuinely wants everyone else to succeed and I have never laughed so much as I have at FitnessBuzz!
