Big Sister testimonials
Joanna, 15
"Before joining the We Move sessions, my friends and I always enjoyed being active, but we didn’t feel confident in the gym or really know how to make the most of our workouts. We also felt quite low on energy and needed a boost – both physically and mentally."
"Since training with Georgie, Darina, and Carone, we’re now lifting with confidence, feeling more energised, and achieving goals we never thought possible. I feel more confident doing specific exercises in the gym, and the trainers are always kind, supportive, and ready to help with anything we need."
"Our favourite part of the sessions was having access to the gym facilities, as we don’t normally have that opportunity. The workout sheets provided were also a huge help – they gave us structure and allowed us to train effectively together."
"We’ve all now signed up for memberships and are excited to continue our fitness journey at Malden Centre!"
