Due to Covid and various boring medical issues, I have not been able to attend aqua classes for a period of 2 years. I came back last week and my first class was taken by Angela. WOW! How great to be back. Angela is full of energy & enthusiasm. She makes hard exercise fun & interesting. I love all the aqua routines but Angela & Jo make me want to work really hard to get the most benefit. A big pat on the back.

I would like to give some very positive feedback regarding the fundraising initiative for the McGrath Foundation held at Fitness Edge. I would like to acknowledge the generosity and enthusiasm of the three instructors who led the group for 3-hours. First, Angela who I believe planted the seeds and did most of the organisation for the morning. I think she should be congratulated on a great effort. Second Shelley and Marnie who also gave their time and skills. All three presented a varied and challenging programme that kept many members involved and interested for a whole 3-hours or part thereof. Angela, Shelley and Marnie demonstrated an energy, humour and passion that made the morning fun.

I love going to the fitness edge. The staff are amazing the best part is no matter your size they don't judge you instead they welcome you & encourage you every step of the way. I can't wait until the restrictions are lifted so I can come back. When you walk at 5:45am the staff always smile & say good morning & when I leave they always say have a good day. Which gives such a positive & welcoming vibe. Angela is amazing being a bigger woman I was nervous to go. However Angela gave me the encouragement & support I needed. On the days where I learn a new exercise & I go omg I really can't do this. She has helped me overcome that. She is truly such an amazing, wonderful and caring woman

Just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to the organisers of the Aquathon Water Fitness day last Sunday morning. It was great fun and a wonderful way to raise money for a great cause. Special thanks to Angela, Marnie & Shelley for their time and sense of fun - good on you all! I especially appreciate all the 'behind the scenes' organisation that would have taken so much time. Lastly, as a breast cancer survivor myself, I especially appreciated this event. THANKS AGAIN!

Thank you for your 14 years of service supporting the Healthy Lifestyle Program. The program has been operating for 40 years to support older adults to maintain healthy, active lives. Participants regularly praise group leaders for accommodating health issues and supporting newcomers to settle into a new social network. I am sure that you would have witnessed and been a part of a range of benefits to participants resulting from your teaching and guidance in your specialty area of aqua exercise, gentle pace. I thank you for your reliability and note that you have also provided mentorship to some of our less experienced aqua leaders as part of your involvement with Healthy Lifestyle.

Angela was one of my star Group Fitness Instructors. Angela is such a talented, loyal, dependable and popular Instructor. She teaches a wide range of exercise programs and relates and shares her passion with a variety of age groups. Angela frequently received both verbal and written positive feedback and what stood out from the members comments was her energy, the way she responded and communicated to her class members, her professionalism and her kindness of making sure her members felt like they were part of a very special experience. She definitely made a difference. Angela would be an asset to any employer and I wholeheartedly recommend her for any endeavour she chooses to pursue.

As the new Group Fitness Coordinator at The Fitness Edge, I have had the pleasure of working with Angela for only 6 months. In that time I have been greatly impressed by Angela’s dedication to her class participants, this gym, and continued education in the fitness industry. Angela is fondly known as “The Energizer Bunny” and is an incredibly experienced industry professional. She has a gift for keeping participants both informed and entertained with excellent “WHY”-focused teaching and a vibrant personality. Angela knows the participants in her classes (Aqua, Cycle, Shape Step ‘n’ Burn, Power, Boxing) by name and is invested in creating safe, fun, effective fitness experiences for her class

I have been attending classes that Ange is the instructor for a few years now and always enjoy them. They are never boring; she regularly changes routines, has great enthusiasm and motivation and also provides great tips on how to get the most out of exercising. Always have fun and a laugh.
