PiYo
PiYo combines pilates and yoga to create dynamic, flowing sequences that burn serious calories at the same time as lengthening and toning muscles and increasing flexbility. The movements are designed to help sculpt your muscles, strengthen your core and above all tap into your fat burning-zone using low-impact movements.
Pelvic Floor and Core Restore
This class is designed for Postpartum mums to come either alone or to bring their babies. The class focuses on strengthening the pelvic floor post birth and the right techniques to make sure you are engaging and relaxing in the correct manner. You will leave with a whole tool kit of exercises and a better understanding of what the pelvic floor is and how it functions. We will also focus on the deep core muscles through specific targeted exercises. It is also designed to help women with Diastasis Recti. If you do bring your little one we will add in some sensory fun for them so that they feel involved.
Strength and Core
Strength and core works on switching on all our deep stabilising muscles so that we improve balance, core control and is great for injury prevention. The movements are slow and strong to allow for correct technique and form. You will definitely be challenged in a positive way and will end the class feeling like you have not only worked hard but achieved a lot!
Prenatal Strength
This class is designed for pregnant women through all three trimesters. Exercises will be adapted depending on your own personal fitness level and where you are in your pregnancy. The exercises are put together to support the adaptations that a mother goes through during pregnancy and are there to support and strengthen the muscles we need to keep our bodies strong and healthy through this amazing process.
HIIT weight circuits
This class involves working at a high intensity with weights to help boost your metabolism, create lean muscle and give you a great energy boost. We use kettlebells, dumbbells, ropes, sandbags etc and combine cardio intervals to give you a full body workout.
I have been training with Gemma for the past 5 years and have found it to be an absolute game changer for me. Not only have her workouts helped me achieve a strong and healthy body, but her enthusiasm and positive energy has provided me with great social and mental wellbeing which is just as important to me. During lockdown her classes continued online and it was (and still is) the highlight of my day! She has provided the structure to what has been a very uncertain time and has kept me physically and mentally strong by providing a variety of different classes to choose from.
I absolutely love all her classes, my favourites being cardiobox, HIT and circuit training. Thank you for being such an inspiration and awesome fitness instructor!I absolutely love being a part of the Gemmafitness community!

I tried Gemma's Piyo class in Shoreham back in 2018, and have trained with her ever since. I struggle to motivate myself to undertake exercise by myself, so Gemma's group exercise classes are perfect for me.
Gemma is a great motivator, and makes sure you are challenged and pushed to do your best through encouragement and support, rather than intimidation! I always look forward to Gemma's classes, even if I am tired and flagging after a day at work, as I know a session led by her will energise me.
Her classes are varied and fun, and she encourages me to try new things- I wasn't sure that boxercise would be for me, but it turns out I love it! I feel fit, strong and healthy as a result of training with Gemma, and I'm sure the work I do with her has helped me to improve my cycling and swimming too.
During the pandemic, her online group classes have been amazing- both to keep me fit and to feel connected with other people, even if we're not in the same room.

Gemma’s classes are fun, challenging and suitable for all fitness levels. Both in person and online she always brings great energy that encourages you to push hard but leaves you smiling. Her classes have improved my functional fitness, working on strength, fitness, stability and mobility, making my body strong and able to carry out any activity.
