I have had sports massage with Roxy on several occasions and have really felt the benefit of improved recovery and reduced muscle soreness, particularly useful as a runner to have massages scheduled around races etc. The studio is in a central location and very convenient. I also see Roxy twice a week for Personal Training sessions and have seen huge improvements in my strength and fitness. Always very motivating, varied and tailored to my goals.
10/10 would recommend.

Since January I have started personal training with Roxy and can not recommend it enough . Brilliant sessions , food diarys to keep you on track and support via messages when ever you need it . Roxy is a brilliant trainer who has a good mix of working hard but also having a laugh which I think is essential.
