 I can definitely feel the difference physically and emotionally when I miss Nixercise! It really is good for body and soul. Nix Ticehurst you are a very clever lady, for the first time in my 50+ years I am at peace with how I look, being the best I can be and not striving to be like some enhanced beauty in a magazine! Thank you xx

 I've really taken on board what you said about it being the diet that really matters for weight loss, supported by the exercise.  Getting really strict on my food this coming week (diaries to follow)... and getting a little perfume instead of chocolate eggs for Easter!  You are so inspirational, I can feel myself getting fitter, now it's just down to me to get totally focused on the food and drink.

 Nix I'm excited about starting to exercise and continuing to improve my eating habits with you after Easter but thought id let you know that having been following your simple principles for the last couple of months I really have seen a change in my body shape. Today i'm wearing size 12 trousers for the first time in over 10 years. It feels great. I just wish id found you sooner!

 "I see a back therapist every 6 months or so, I don't have a back problem but the stresses and strains of modern living take their toll so I try to keep my back in check and prevent any problems developing. I saw him 2 weeks ago after a 6 month gap (I started attending FAF on Fridays in January this year so basically I've not been to my back guy since I started.   Without me saying anything he commented on the great improvement in my lower back, how much freer and unrestricted it was. I have been seeing the same therapist for over 15 years and he has never said this before! I would like to thank Nix for this, my core has never been stronger and the results are obvious is just 6 months " 9 June 2014

 I have been attending the NIXERCISE sessions at the Wittenham Clumps for several years now. It is the easily the best exercise class that I have ever attended. We train outdoors in wonderful countryside, with breathtaking views. Pretty much every muscle is used during training, we have a lot of laughs, and the whole experience is very uplifting. NIX is a fabulous fitness trainer and a clear inspiration to her team. What can I say- I just love it. 2014

 Dear Nix. I felt I should say a few words in praise of Nixercise. I have reached with your help a level of fitness that a year ago I could only dream about. I had been a member of several gyms in the past but found them boring and solitary places, filled with sweaty miserable people who seemed to be there just to tick a box and to be able to tell their colleagues the next day: "I spent last night at the gym." With Nixercise it is so different. Unlike the repetitive nature of gyms, no session with Nixercise is the same. Nix makes the sessions fun and varied, and she has a special gift to get the best out of people without them realising it. Over the summer Nix gave kindly her own time to train (free of charge) a team of ladies to 10k fitness. I was lucky enough to be able to join this group for a few sessions to prepare for my own 10k challenge. I am so glad that I did. With Nix's help, and the encouragement of the rest of the group I achieved my goal, as they did theirs. The ladies I have met and come to know through Nixercise are quite the nicest people anyone would hope to meet. We are there because we believe in Nix and her ethos. I have never felt the need before to sing the praises of a business but Nixercise is so much more, it is like a family. I have had so many compliments on how I look which has boosted my confidence and morale no end. For anyone wanting to get outside, get fit, loose a few pounds, get lots of wonderful dietary advice and meet like-minded people, look no further than the inspirational Nixercise. October 2014

 I’ve never been good at keep fit classes, I would worry about being the worst in the class, not getting the moves and generally avoided them like the plague. Then a friend told me about Nix and I realised what an amazing exercise class can be. Nix is really good at pushing you when you need it and keeping morale high. She knows her clients so well - so she knows when you need a hand or when you are doing your best. Everyone I have met at Nixcercise is lovely too, and that makes a huge difference. It’s a genuinely supportive environment where everyone does their best - led by Nix. If I didn’t work I would be at every class! Fran - Tuesday 20:25 and Saturday PowerWalk April 2023

 My weekly session with Nix makes me feel alive - she pushes me far further than I would push myself but not too far. It’s so great training outdoors as well and I always end the session feeling better in body and mind. Nix’s wealth of knowledge and experience makes me feel I’m always in safe hands!

 I have done Nixercise now for gosh nearly 12 years and I can honestly say it keeps me sane it’s an absolute breath of fresh air. I love the Venues for the classes. I love the people that come, the community, it’s a real tonic and Nixercise should really be on prescription. Thanks Nix.

 I’m an old Nixercise disciple. Before Covid hit and the thought of not being a regular Nixercise groupie was unthinkable, I was at my absolute peak of health and fitness, physically and mentally, thanks to Nixercise. Never before had I been addicted to any kind of exercise (Nixercise is like nothing else) and never before had I felt so good. Compared to my twenties, my forties were literally FULL of bounce, doing at least 3 Nixercise sessions a week, 2 Earth Trust/Nixercise 10ks (she actually taught me how to run!), I even took part in the Three Peaks Challenge and climbed Mount Toubkal. I felt amazing. When lockdown happened, I hurt my back, my menopausal beard grew, along with a midriff and much unwanted flubber. Everywhere. Even though I’d been re-educated by Nix in the past about all things nutrition, alcohol and comfort eating filled the void. I even started knitting (badly). I’d totally lost my zip and zing. My whole 'mojo' had gone. BUT NOW SHE’S BACK! Nixercise is back! I so need this! Rotundity and sluggishness are going to be a thing of the past. I’ve been hitting the Tuesday night 20:25 sessions and I’m starting to feel good again. I’m so incentivised by Nix to really get my ‘mojo’ back. I’ve signed up for the Welsh Three Peaks Challenge which will mean regular classes over the Summer and I can’t wait to start training and getting back to my old self. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you Nix!

 Since starting Nixercise at the beginning of the year, Nix has been supportive and encouraging, gently ‘pushing’ you to succeed. She tunes into each client’s fitness level so no one feels pressured. Tips for healthy recipes and lifestyle changes provide great motivation. Having lost a stone and 3 pounds, I feel so much healthier and fitter! May 2023 Thanks so much Nix.

 I have been reading your recent testimonials and felt compelled to write one too! I may have had to move away but I wanted to tell you that for 10 years now, every morning I religiously 'pop my socks on while standing up' I make sure I do 50 squats every day and I try HARD to go to bed at a good time and eat and drink as healthily as possible. All of these things I have taken away with me for life, and I want to thank you! Wish I was nearer but I love to watch you all on Instagram, makes me still feel part of the family! 

Susie Marshall-Lane: Business Owner

 When Nixercise classes returned I genuinely said "hooray"! They are simply the best fitness sessions I have ever taken part in. Back in March I had a full hysterectomy and I'm convinced my post-op recovery was quicker because I was fit from doing Nixercise classes. And then I couldn't wait to get back out there. When I turned up to class 7 weeks after my op Nix truly looked after me and helped me re-build my confidence. To the point where I felt (just about) good enough to wear a gold jump suit to my 50th birthday party last week! There is nothing to compare to the exhilaration and exhaustion you feel in combined measure at the end of every class. And who needs a gym when you can take in the beautiful views from Wittenham Clumps. It certainly distracts the mind from interval sprints and multiple sets of squats! Fitness, fun, friendship and fabulousness - yes I think that describes Nixercise perfectly! Thank you Nix.

 That Nixercise Feeling - there is nothing like it - come rain or shine. Exercising outside is simply magical. It delivers an extra hit of dopamine and Nix is the most consistently brilliant trainer I’ve ever worked with. She understands women’s bodies and is passionate about the benefits of staying fit, flexible, strong and agile. No session is the same. When you sign up to a weekly class you will never get bored and will always be on your toes ("never assume”). You’ll be encouraged to run faster, stretch further and use all those muscles you used to use without thinking ad a child. Hello skipping, hopscotch, standing on one leg, squats and more. Results you feel brilliant! Thank you Nix :))))

 Nix! Such an awesome class tonight. I really love it. You push us, you make it fun yet painful and then awesome stretches and meditation at the end. Winning combo. I’m no expert but I have lived around the world and done many a million different classes and you are bloody brill. One of the best. I hope you know your own talent. Since Covid I went to online classes as I can fit them in around work and I move around a lot but I realize how much more you push me in those classes and I need that! Feeling my age these days! Thank you Jen x
