Client Testimonials

Starting your fitness journey can be a scary, intimidating, private and personal experience. Our instructors at PSP Petawawa Community Recreation strive to make your fitness adventure fun, exciting, comfortable and educational.

Working with Jessica was so very easy, she’s super patient and respectful of your situation. I have issues with a knee so I needed to take a lot of breaks but not once did she get irritated with me. She also is super knowledgeable, always having exercises on her mind that she thinks will really help you. Jessica helped me with my weight loss hopes and strength gains. While working with her and applying what I was taught, I have noticed huge changes, such as being able to get in and out of my car much more easily, my clothes feeling looser than ever, and my bad knee feeling the best it has in years. There’s so many more improvements to my physical and mental health after working with Jessica that if I listed them here this would turn into an essay.

Zac

In August of last year, I suffered a heart attack. I was told by the Heart Institute that I should start exercising and maintain a healthy diet. My wife suggested that yoga would be a great place to start my exercise program. I began attending Elke’s chair yoga classes on Wednesdays. At first, I found them to be challenging, but with Elke’s gentle encouragement, I kept going. I could see improvements as I went along. My flexibility is much more noticeable, and I now can join the others on the mat. A year later (September 2024), I also started attending Muscle Pump classes with Jessica. I believe it is important to exercise and eat healthy to attain these goals.
