Oitoo

What a lovely group of people! After arriving at The South Place Hotel, I was directed to the gym on the 1st floor. The Changing rooms are well equipped with large showers and an ample supply of towels. The added bonus is there is free use of the sauna and steam room which is great following the sessions. There is also free bottled water and fruit on offer. I was signed into “gentle yoga” with Lauren Wilkie who alongside the other trainers at Oitoo they are all excellent/ qualified and frien...

Rui was my personal trainer for 2 years. He has a real understanding of how muscles work, how to activate dormant muscles and how to lift properly and safely - expertise and knowledge over and above regular trainers. On top of that, he's a lovely guy - extremely positive and motivating.

Working with Rui has not only helped me resolve back pain that has bothered me intermittently for year, but he has helped me understand the root cause so that I can properly manage body and avoid recurrences.

It has been 3 years since that first treatment with Rui and i can honestly say he has worked a miracle. I am pain free. In the past few years we have moved front the treatment table to exercise in the gym. I thoroughly enjoy my sessions with Rui and his never ending stream of knowledge. What a great trainer and motivator!!
