JEMMA GALLOP

My name is Jemma. I have been working at Active Nation for 5 ½ years and love doing what I do. My passion is health, fitness, well-being, and sharing my knowledge with others. I was lucky to grow up being active, playing sports at school, so I understand the importance of movement. I have previously worked in a body building and commercial gym, so I have a lot of experience in different disciplines. I love showing people that being active can be flexible, and it’s not just about the way you look, but about how you feel.

MAGGIE CHRYSANTHOU

My goal is to guide clients on how to lead and maintain a healthy lifestyle long-term, through appropriate exercise and nutrition. As a qualified fitness instructor, personal trainer and life coach, my approach to wellbeing is holistic in nature.

I am also a women’s fitness expert, specialised in training pre/post-natal and older women as well as strength and body conditioning, weight loss, and those with a pre-existing health condition.

I've been working with Jemma as my personal trainer for the past few months and I'm extremely satisfied with the results so far. Jemma's approach to fitness is not only motivating but also tailored to my specific needs and goals.

Due to various bouts of ill health IO was forced to cease my regular gym visits in June 2022 As soon as I had GP permission to resume training I enrolled as a gym member at Bitterne Leisure Centre. I met Maggie when she carried out my gym induction. I work my efficiently and enthusiastically with a personal trainer. If I don’t make an appointment for personal training I will be tired after work and go straight home. Maggie is an excellent trainer. She is very much aware of my history and I am working with her steadily twice a week. Already my fitness level is so improved. She does not push me too hard as thus put my off attending. Rather, over the last 2 months, she has gradually upgraded my programme by gently tweaking exercises. She is very astute in understanding my limitations. She has also encouraged me to adjust my diet which has resulted in an easy 2kg loss. I would strongly recommend Maggie to anyone seeking a revitalisation of themselves through healthy exercise and diet. She has given me the confidence I lacked to resume my gym programme.

What I appreciate most about Jemma is their dedication to helping me achieve my goals, both inside and outside of the gym. I feel lucky to have found such an amazing personal trainer and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and supportive coach.

I have been doing 1-1 sessions with Liam for just over 10 months. I started out at 0 strength. The smallest dumbbells were a challenge to lift for more than a set. I couldn’t do a push up, even from my knees. I needed help. I didn’t enjoy the gym at all. I didn’t know what I was doing. I signed up to have my free session with the intention of going on my own after that. I so enjoyed that first session with Liam, I decided to keep them going on a weekly basis. The stuff this guy has me doing now is incredible, I never would have thought I could achieve what I have. I look forward to the sessions every week. Liam pushes you to your limit but not in a forceful way. He’s just a great trainer.

Liam has been a great PT in supporting my training goals. He is outcome focused, and I have been able to see continual improvement from my sessions. He quickly knew my capabilities before I did. A very committed and passionate trainer, full of knowledge, techniques and advice. Just what I needed for that push in motivation also.

I enjoy my Personal training sessions with Liam, He always explains what we are doing and how things are progressing. The sessions are always different, so it never gets boring, he has both helped me to lose weight, get stronger, enjoy exercise and go to the gym . He is a very good PT for all age groups.

BEGIN YOUR ADVENTURE...

AND FIND US, WITHOUT A HICCUP!

There’s nothing more frustrating then when you’re buzzing for a new adventure or you’ve got a car full of children, wanting to get out and enjoy themselves and you’ve taken the wrong exit. Either google maps has failed you or your co-pilot probably isn’t the best navigator. That partnered with a tricky car park to find and you’re not kicking things off to a great start. 

We know our car park is tucked away and requires a certain set of skills to locate it… so we’ve created an entire page for you to be a able to find us and hit the slopes, without a hiccup!

FINDING THE CAR PARK

Unfortunately we don’t have the control to change where Google Maps takes you (we wish we did). So listen up, here’s how to get to find us! 

For the car park above the venue use the postcode SO16 7LT (Vermont Close). Once on Vermont Close bear off to the left past the swimming pool and school. At the end of the road turn right and this will lead you to the car park. Take the steps down to reception.

You can park your car at The Sports Centre but please be aware, from here we are about a 10 minute walk through the Sports Centre. You will not be able to take your car into the Sports Centre!

– SANTA’S LITTLE HELPERS WILL BE ON HAND TO JUDGE YOUR OUTFITS AND PICK A WINNER. THE WINNER OF EACH SESSION WILL GO AWAY WITH AN EARLY CHRISTMAS PRESENT WORTH WINNING! 

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

No you don’t have to but if you want to win a fabulous early Christmas present, then you will have to dress up.

We still recommend comfortable clothing. You will also need to wear long sleeves and trousers, as well as gloves. 

No, it is not safe to have a child sit on a parents lap.  You can however, hold onto each others donut whilst coming down.

For the car park above the ski slope use the postcode SO16 7LT to take you to Vermont Cl. Once on Vermont Close bear off to the left past the swimming pool and school. At the end of the road turn right and this road will lead you to the car park above the slope. Take the steps down to reception.

Yes – We provide all essential equipment like the Donut and sledge. 

We recommend you bring your own helmet and gloves but if you don’t have them, we can lend you a helmet and you can purchase gloves. 

Yes, Donutting can go ahead in whatever weather. If the Duty Manager feels it’s too dangerous (ie thunder and lightening) then they will contact you and rearrange the booking.

If you wish to do this, you will have to book yourself on the session. There will be an instructor at the top and bottom of the slope to provide assistance. 

Due to the type of ski lift, younger children can find it difficult to use. We also go from the larger slope, which can be scary for younger children. 

We recommend comfortable clothing. Most of the time you should wear long sleeves and long trousers, however if it’s very hot, we can relax this rule. 

You MUST wear closed toe shoes at all times.

We have a small area with a bench, at the bottom of the slope where you can spectate from.
