WHAT CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY ! LATEST NEWS: Claire Hitchings becomes National age Group Champion ! : See her blog for her comments on Open Water swim coaching: http://www.clairehitchings.com/index.html Author: Claire Hitchings | Date: 02-06-2010 This Monday, despite the water only being 15 degrees, I had a great open water coached session with Martin Paine from one of my sponsor's TriSport Coaching. We worked on my inability to swim straight! I got 'nagged' about the importance of bilateral breathing. Also did a bit on starts but most importantly for me we worked on my technique for sighting and breathing, which has revolutionised my open water swimming. This was totally worth the frozen feet and hands and blue lips. Only took an hour to warm up afterwards! And I held my own in the race to strip off wetsuits at the end. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Massage can Hurt but the next day I always have the best run of the week. Regular sports massage from Martin keeps an old man like me feeling like a youngster !

‘Martin has really helped me to get fit and lose some weight. His sessions are just the right side of being tough and they do get results, but still allow you to walk the next day! He provides excellent advice and tips and can help whether you have never exercised before, or are already very fit.’Dawn Wood.
"With a month to go before the London Marathon I encountered every marathon runner's nightmare - knee pain on every run. The marathon blues soon set in and the schedule slipped. At this point I got in touch with Martin at Surrey Hills Fitness. He instantly put me at ease diagnosing an IT band injury. Over the following weeks I had four massage sessions on the knee and exercises to follow.
I must say after two sessions, and following Martin's exercises I was on the mend. By the time I had the fourth massage I was back on track and went on to completed the 26 miles pain free and in 3.31 - Thanks Martin"

Approaching my 60th birthday, I decided it was time to take a little more exercise, not for the sake of it, but to be able to do the things I love for as many more years as possible. I discussed this with Martin, who proposed a programme of exercises and activity designed to meet my objectives. Over a period of months, not only did Martin’s careful attention and encouragement help me to fulfil my objectives, but to exceed them. And he made it all fun. I look forward to my sessions with him, and am constantly aware of how much I get from them. I will never run a marathon, that’s not my ambition, but my mountain walking, off road biking and sailing have all been more enjoyable with that bit of extra fitness that Martin has helped me to achieve. Thank you .Geoff, Dorking.
