“It was great working with Jess on my breathing. She listened to my (many!) problem statements and expertly tailored sessions towards them. The exercises were the right level of challenge and expertly delivered, and it was great to cover techniques that targeted both acute issues or stresses and a longer term sports performance goal. Everything was delivered with a smile, and the follow up notes helped me keep track of the details I was too busy having fun to remember at the time!”

— JOHNNY A-L (BREATH-WORK CLIENT)

“Jess has a great energy and a calming and holistic approach to yoga and breath-work. She is respectful of its origins and has an authentic style, taking opportunities to increase awareness and understanding as well as practising the asanas. Her focus on the importance of breathing in a meaningful way as well as her thoughtful delivery of the physical poses brings me back to her classes again and again. They are a joy to take part in and greatly appreciated”

— BUBBLY PATYAL (YOGA & BREATH-WORK STUDENT)

“It was really important for me to work with someone who had the same values as me. Someone who focuses on longevity, form and self-love rather than aesthetics and the ‘no pain no gain’ culture.  Jess’ knowledge of meditation, breath-work and yoga complement her personal training and I am a client of hers in both areas. She really CARES as well. Whenever I have questions/wobbles/injuries she is always there for me going above and beyond. ”

“Jess Parkinson became my personal trainer on the recommendation of my physio at a critical time. I had had an unsuccessful hip replacement operation and was facing a tricky revision as well as prostate surgery. Her well thought out programme and close observation of my efforts ensured my return to fitness that I had not enjoyed for 10 years” -

— CLIVE ROWE (PERSONAL TRAINING CLIENT)

“I met Jess as we went into lockdown and am so happy I did - the weekly classes provided an end to my work day, and her themes and focus areas were always just what I needed, gentle and challenging in the right proportions and always customisable. When I struggled with back pain, Jess worked through biomechanics assessments and then provided me with a tailored programme that helped me enormously, providing structure to my recovery. Her positive, compassionate energy and authentic style of teaching puts students at ease and I really appreciated that she took the time to answer questions, check in on how things were going, and was so willing to help.”

— SARAH LAURENCE (PERSONAL TRAINING & YOGA CLIENT)

I absolutely loved my pregnancy yoga classes with Jess, I found her classes so helpful as I suffered with a bad back during my pregnancy. She would always tailor the class to my specific needs and I always felt so much better afterwards. Pregnancy yoga with Jess is a must if you have aches and pains during your pregnancy or even if you just feel tired, I would always feel so much more relaxed and energised afterwards.

— MICHELLE THOROGOOD (PREGNANCY YOGA CLIENT)

“Jessica Parkinson has been my personal trainer for 18 months. Jessica is very professional. She prepares carefully for each session, keenly observes the exercises and is scrupulous about their execution. My fitness has progressed in leaps and bounds since she has been involved. Jessica is also very personable and has a delightful personality. She is patient and encouraging and has a great sense of humour”

— GILL ROWE (PERSONAL TRAINING CLIENT)

“Jess has helped me build up not only my physical strength and flexibility but also my confidence in my abilities to do exercise. She is so incredibly positive and encouraging and will always find ways to work around or target the specific quirks of my body. Her online yoga classes are welcoming and grounding, giving me structure and motivation throughout my week”

— NAT TRUMAN (PERSONAL TRAINING & YOGA CLIENT) 

“I had the opportunity to do some fantastic instructor trainings with Jess and some of her classes too while she was still the holistic master trainer at Gymbox. I have mad respect for Jess, her knowledge, perspective and infectious personality are unmatched. I’m always looking forward to train or be inspired by her for both my own practice & instructing career”
