Take good care of yourself with outdoor fitness classes.

“If you want to get fit in Lewes - this is the way to do it! Maria's classes are very effective and enjoyable.”

“Really good teachers like Maria are a rarity. She strikes a perfect balance between gentle encouragement and bootcamp toughness - with good technical knowledge and attention to detail thrown in. Exercising outdoors in all weathers is fantastic – it keeps the blues at bay in the depths of winter. I can't thank her enough!”

“I have been attending Lewes Outdoor Fitness classes for a while now and can't believe the difference it makes to my mind as well as my body! The feeling I get after finishing my favourite workout on the top of the downs can't be matched! Maria is a fantastic instructor who treats us as individuals - so it feels like personal training even in a larger class. She knows how to work us but I still have a lot of fun. I never regret taking part!”

“After my son was born I never thought I would be fit again or have any degree of body confidence. Having worked with Maria, I have exceeded all of my goals – including running the Hastings half marathon in a respectable time and preparing for my first marathon. I am fitter and more confident than I was before my son was born. Recently I was in a gym on holiday when one of the trainers asked how I got such toned arms. My answer was simply: 'Maria.'”

“While a typical exercise class is bound to produce grunts and groans, it is also guaranteed to produce laughter. Maria does work you hard, but in such a positive and affirming manner that you enjoy (and even look forward to) pushing yourself harder. Classes are varied, never boring, and flexible to suit all levels of fitness (or your individual energy on the day). Truly, I can't imagine a better way to get fit: motivated by a skilled, experienced, and incredible woman, surrounded by the outdoor beauty of the South Downs, and in the company of great people. I can't recommend Maria and Lewes Outdoor Fitness highly enough.”

“I spend plenty of my time raving about the virtues of outdoor fitness to all who'll listen (sad but true), but actually translating how good it is into written words is a real challenge. Outdoor fitness with Maria has transformed my attitude to fitness! Maria has created something really special and unique. The group was so welcoming from day 1 and although the abilities of the group are always varied, Maria provides an environment that encourages all that take part to realise their targets and potential. I used to dread exercise but now positively look forward to her classes AND have just signed up for a marathon. I wouldn't have had the courage to do this without Maria's unwavering support and encouragement.”

“I've regularly attended Maria's exercise classes for two years and I'm now two and a half stone lighter. And never yet been bored. She provides an encouraging, never intimidating, atmosphere. Everyone works hard and whatever your ability there are always alternatives offered – you can chart your progress as you get fitter and stronger. I cannot emphasise enough the benefits of exercising outdoors, especially in beautiful Lewes. I would never go back to the gym.”

“Maria's class has changed my life. She's the best sort of teacher – her enthusiasm is infectious and the class is about us, not her. It's fun, convivial and makes me fit. Being outside whatever the weather is empowering – if you can exercise in the rain for an hour, and enjoy it, you can do anything. I've met lots of great people whose paths I would never otherwise have crossed. Body and spirit nourished – what more to ask?”

“Over the past 20 years I've tried numerous fitness classes, but nothing comes close to the fun, satisfaction & reward I get from doing Maria's class. I started by going after my second child was born and I can honestly say that I am fitter and healthier now than I have probably ever been. Being outdoors makes it such a brilliant experience and your soul soars while your waist shrinks!”
