Training For Health
Chris Russell-Vick - Personal Trainer
I am a highly motivated and knowledgeable personal trainer with over 30 years of experience in designing, monitoring and adapting exercise programmes based on individual needs, goals, abilities, age and anatomy. My approach is hands on. You will not see me standing by watching you train! I will train with you to energise and motivate you. You will see from my client testimonials that it is extremely enjoyable, rewarding and it works!
I teach classes at East Sussex National Health Club and Spa and in the local community.
Do you want to take your fitness to a whole new level? Then circuit training is the class for you! Circuit Training is vigorous, sweat-drenched and intense from start to finish, but it's loads of fun and like all my classes it caters for all levels of ability.
A class focusing on developing your fitness and well-being for everyday life. Developing stamina, flexibility, core strength and all-over body strength. For those that do not want to work at a high impact level and who want exercises personalised to their fitness needs then this is the class for you!
Individual or small group sessions aimed at increasing your range of motion, relaxation and release tension through focusing on posture, alignment and breathing. These sessions prove to be very effective in supporting the day to day management of joint or back pain.

I am a qualified Physical Education Teacher and Fitness Instructor. I have always been interested and motivated in keeping myself fit and in supporting others to reach their fitness potential and feeling of well-being.
Being fit has always been an important part of my life and unlike many people, who find the gym boring, I enjoy the time away from a busy job and home life; it's my time and the mobile phone and emails can't interrupt. My challenge has always been, to find new routines that help me to be motivated and deliver results in spite of sporting injuries and the increasing years! Until recently, I have been in a rut and needed expert help which Chris has provided. I have had several personal trainers but have, until working with Chris, been frustrated because they have either been standing next to a cross trainer while I exercise or been unable to offer a range of tailored exercises to suit me. I have even had an experience where the training a few years ago left me with a knee injury and I had to resort to several weeks of physiotherapy. Working with Chris has been inspiring, enjoyable, fun, given me confidence to try new exercises and delivered results. The training began with a discussion about what I wanted to achieve, Chris listened carefully to my worries with various physiological problems and used her extensive knowledge to ensure she uses the best techniques for me. I look forward to my weekly session as I know it will be built around my needs, carefully planned and includes both indoor and outdoor activity which I really enjoy. I leave feeling encouraged with sense of achievement, and now have better muscle tone, improved flexibility for yoga and golf and better all round fitness. Thank you Chris!
I was diagnosed with MS over 20 years ago and although currently working full time, have gradually lost mobility, flexibility and stability. Chris spotted me a year ago having difficulty putting on socks after an aqua fit lesson and very discretely asked my partner, who was sitting outside the changing rooms, if I would be interested in attending one-to-one sessions. I said yes and that decision has proved to be a life changer. Her classes are gradually (it is going to be an uphill struggle as my condition does not allow for overnight miracle cures) improving my entire life. My walking is better and physiologically she understands that sometimes, although I would like it to be different, exhaustion takes over and my body simply will not do what I want it to do. Her classes are very varied and tailored to my individual needs. She never presses me to do things that I am uncomfortable with just gives me sensible alternatives to achieve the same end.
I approached Chris because I am getting married next year and wanted to lose weight, as well as feel and look healthier. I have been training with Chris for just over two months and already I am feeling the benefits. I have lost weight and feel my fitness has improved massively. The training approach and knowledge of different exercises Chris uses is a credit to her as each training session is never the same and I'm always learning new skills, I find this makes all the sessions very enjoyable. I think one of the most important factors about training with Chris is that she is very approachable, understanding and always makes me feel at ease. In every session Chris is motivational and encouraging due to the fact she is next to me doing every exercise, I find this very helpful and challenging. I would recommend Chris to anyone who is looking to improve fitness or weight loss, I enjoy every session I have and look forward to carrying on improving my fitness with Chris.
I have found my training sessions with Chris very therapeutic. I have gained more stamina and confidence in my abilities. Chris tailors each workout to suit my emotional and physical needs on that particular day. This has enabled me to discover muscles I didn't know I had and helped me to recognise and reduce stress with exercise. Thanks Chris!
I have been attending Chris's circuit training classes for around two years, she puts in a lot of time preparing the classes and researching new exercises and techniques to ensure they are always different. This avoids the plateau effect thus always improving fitness levels. She creates a fun atmosphere whilst making the routines challenging with different levels depending on each individuals capabilities. Her in depth knowledge of fitness and nutrition is really useful if you need advice or a personalised training regime. If you are looking to improve your fitness and general wellbeing Chris will take you to the next level and beyond.
