Feedback and testimonials from clients and members

I wanted to let everyone know what Karen and Martin have done for me. I am 71 years young, have suffered from depression and anxiety and a huge loss of confidence. In 4 short weeks with this wonderful couple they have turned my life around.

I was hesitant about hiring a Personal Trainer as I thought the cost would be huge. To my surprise personal training with Karen and Martins Myofacial Release Therapy was so affordable and worth every minute!

I cannot tell you how great I feel after spending such a short time with Karen and Martin. My confidence is returning mentally and physically!

Thank you so much Karen and Martin xx I recommend PT on the Run to everybody!

Much love and many hugs ⚘❤

Dear Karen & Martin, I would like to thank you both from the bottom of my heart for helping me regain the confidence to participate and enjoy exercising very much - even with other people!  Karen I was so nervous when I started at your studio. But you kept encouraging me and now with the Piloxing given me a place where I can 'dance'. You are a lovely person with a beautiful heart and I feel  lucky to have met you.  Martin thank you for helping Harley (son) to develop survival skills that he will have for life.  You are a hero in his eyes.

And Martin, thanks for believing that I can do things, and for pushing me in areas that I have found difficult.

Karen & Martin together you give so much of yourselves to others, and for that I also want to thank you. 

Mandy (and Harley)


Karen, Thank you for being such an energetic inspiration throughout the club everytime you are here.   You make me want to be a better Personal Trainer and I hope our paths cross again soon :)  Kara


Karen, Thank you so much for your friendship and fantastic classes (especially TTT Classes). I have loved the dance moves and all the choreography.
Your fitness, empathy and high level of commitment to us have made all your classes fun and motivational. You are truly inspiring and a joy to be around, I wish you every success and happiness in all that you do.  Angela


Dear Karen, Thank you so much for being a wonderful instructor! I love doing boxing and Piloxing with you and it will not be the same without you.  I wish you all the best. Jenny W.


Dear Karen, so sorry to hear you are leaving Melbourne but so very happy for your new adventure.  I will miss you heaps but will keep in touch and always have fond memories of our Piloxing class.  Susan


Karen (Piloxing class) is fantastic.  She is so natural and infectious in her enthusiasm.  This class makes me feel happy as well as being a good workout.  Thanks Karen :)


Karen & Martin, thank you for inspiring us to better health. Your classses have been energetic, exciting and lots of fun. You have provided us with a great variety of activities which we have loved.  Judy & Lois

I trained with Martin for almost a year before he moved away, and whilst I must admit the sessions can be challenging, it was indeed one of the highlights of my week.  Martin is the most experienced personal trainer I have worked with and has an incredible knowledge of the human body and how it operates.  He designed a program for me based on the goals I wanted to achieve, while also being mindful of injuries and back issues I had suffered from in the past, and incorporated exercises to ensure these problems wouldn't return.

The sessions might be hard work but they are also fun with Martin's wide range of jokes and stories always there to cheer you on through the sweat and occasional tears! If you are wanting to improve your health & fitness in a safe and experienced environment, as well as having fun doing it, then PT on the Run is definitely for you.  Natalie Edwards (Reporter)


Martin,thank you for the last few years of training.  I've learned a lot in your classes. It's been a lot of hard work but it has paid off thank you. Again it's been an honour. Martin


Martin, thank you for your energy, enthusiasm and making us work hard.  It was worth it and the travel also. Thanks for the best work out community I have come across. Really supporting - thanks for making this happen.  Rowena


Martin, I have thoroughly enjoyed the training sessions with you and thanks for guiding me thru all the queries of exercising properly.  I will miss your class heaps. Carol


Thank  you for your guidance, patience & humour while putting up with us in your training sessions.  I have truly missed being there over the last 6 weeks since moving to Ireland.     Liz


Dear Martin, thanks for giving me the confidence to get fit and come to your classes.  You have kicked my ass every week and it has been a load of laughs. All the best for the future, Paula.


For the past couple of years I have been training with a Personal Trainer, Martin Howden.  I have Myotonic Dystrophy, a muscle degenerative condition.  I was finding my level of confidence was suffering and I was becoming less active as I once had been.  With Martin's knowledge and expertise I have regained some of my confidence and become more active.  I also look forward to the many challenges that Martin presents me with, knowing that if I say I can't do something, we will keep practising it until I can.  Because of Martin's motivation and perseverance I can now do many things I never thought I would be able to do.

Martin is very dedicated and even made the effort to research my condition before he began training me and has ongoing discussions with my Physiotherapist. Libby
