I've trained with Sharon for several years now & cannot imagine giving up my weekly PT sessions any time soon!
She delivers a truly bespoke training service tailored to your goals and has helped me personally to recover from old & new injuries and surgery, overcome psychological issues (including my stubborn, self-defeating nature) and achieve goals I would never have even considered on my own. Beyond the actual training her nutritional guidance is carefully considered & on point when you need it and she'll be your 'cheerleader' too when you need a boost!
Sharon's longstanding & varied sporting background shines through in her sessions & classes. Training with Sharon truly is a training session personalised to your needs - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her & in fact already have!

Having worked with various PT's over the years I find Sharon Kiewiet to be one of the best. She is thoughtful in how she tailors exercise programs to meet individual needs and she then ensures continued motivation through creating a mix of challenge, variety and fun. She is always willing to give advice on exercise and nutrition and as a result she provides a great overall experience and genuine value for money.

I started working with Sharon in late 2012 but with no clear goals or focus. Straight from the outset Sharon took time to explore different areas of fitness with me so we could understand what I found enjoyable. This made an enormous difference and kept me engaged through the early weeks. She then went further exploring nutrition, lifestyle and habits, helping me realise that even the smallest of changes can have a dramatic effect on wellbeing. She has been patient and supportive throughout the time we worked together and helped me develop those goals and focus that I lacked at the start. Furthermore, I now have a commitment to sustained fitness and nutritional improvement that had I not worked with Sharon, I do not believe it would ever have occurred to me to pursue.

I started training with Sharon early August of last year, I started with a couple of taster sessions then onto a pack but very quickly got addicted and have progressed to the direct debit sessions.
I find Sharon very friendly and easy to get along with, she has a great personality and makes keeping fit good fun. Since starting my training programme I have lost over 3 stone and am fitter than I’ve ever been. The programmes that Sharon has put together for me over the months have been varied and really challenging, which I enjoy. It’s been great seeing the transformation in my body and the improvement in my overall strength and fitness. Her knowledge on fitness and nutrition is really impressive, I thought I knew a great deal about nutrition and what foods to eat but the advice she has given me over my time at the gym has been really helpful. I look forward to my sessions with her every week and the varied programmes she gives me keep me motivated to work just as hard on my own when I visit the gym in between sessions.Overall I think Sharon is a really valuable asset to your PT team at Virgin Active. She’s a real credit to her profession and a thoroughly nice person.

Sharon is so much fun to work with. I loved my sessions with her - and I never thought I would say that about exercise! She knows how to keep you going and challenge you to push that bit further. I'd recommend her to anyone.

Of the 4 personal trainers I've had over the years, Sharon is easily the best. She has a caring manner, coupled with excellent knowledge, and she's a good laugh - making sessions enjoyable, and always challenging. I found she goes the extra mile with regards to investigating issues or problems you may have in her spare time, while keeping check on your diet and any other potential interfering factors. Definitely recommend.

I have found Sharon's PT approach is positive and proactive, her considered training programme and advice is prepared specifically for each client and takes account of their strengths and weakness; as well as considering her clients routine outside of the gym with practical helpful recommendations.
