"Fit to Play creates a fun and challenging fitness program, with a range of activities that ensures the classes do not feel boring or routine.  Bern has a down to earth training style and is motivating and encouraging. I look forward to the sessions, knowing that I will feel better after them."

"I have a 30 year old daughter with a mild intellectual disability and Bernie from Fit To Play has been her friend/personal trainer/mentor/support worker/ tennis coach for a few years.  She has a tremendous amount of understanding and empathy for people with disabilities and always builds their self esteem and therefore gets the maximum results from them.  She also coached tennis to a small team of young women with disabilities.  This was just as successful and they improved tremendously and were never bored!
 
Bernie has also been a support worker for my daughter on a live-in basis.  This was really successful and my daughter is always asking when it will happen again."
Di Hill

“Two of the members of our family have worked with Bernie from Fit To Play and we have had very positive and encouraging experiences.  I had quite bad tennis elbow and the techniques and exercises I was given to help my injury heal, were very successful. Not only is Bernie a very calm and positive person, but she makes hard work seem easier by making it fun."
