My fitness journey has been predominantly guided by Annie Hon, an inspirational trainer at RAW. Annie has coached me through many personal fitness triumphs, like multiple pull-ups in a row (baseline: I couldn t do one!) and dead-lifting way above my own body weight (baseline: lifting the tiny wee weights Annie nicknames cookies & bagels ).

Annie is an extremely knowledgeable trainer. She has a deep understanding of relevant topics in science, physiology and anatomy, and is always on top of the latest health and fitness research. Annie applies and shares this knowledge in an accessible way when coaching clients during sessions. Even now when I am doing gym sessions on my own, I can hear Annie s voice in my head guiding me about technique!!

I have found that Annie applies her high EQ in an extremely unique way. She nurtures and coaches her clients in a very honest and direct manner, encouraging them to work hard during sessions whilst staying very much attuned to their needs. Annie seems to understand that a sculpted body has to house an equally strong mind. In order to achieve this, she endeavors to make her clients understand and take onus for their programme as a whole (i.e. from both a nutritional and fitness perspective), and to learn to feel proud of themselves & their accomplishments.

Through her role as a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, Annie has helped me to identify and work towards correcting the underlying causes and conditions which were preventing me from building my health to its optimum level. For me personally, there was a noticeable change in my strength and fitness levels once my body had the opportunity for physical repair, restoration and healing from the inside.

Annie has taught me that our bodies can achieve so much once we shut out the doubts, and really focus. I highly recommend her skills and expertise to anyone who is ready to take on the challenge of understanding and choosing to change their body from both a nutritional and fitness perspective. You will be in the BEST hands!
