Merton Health & Fitness

I have taken Najat's classes in person and online for many years and would thoroughly recommend her. She is an amazing and supportive instructor and really pushes you to do your best, but is also very understanding when your energy is low. Najat's knowledge is incredible and she introduces classes to new techniques and movements to keep things fresh. You will come away feeling so good - and possibly very sore for a few days - but it's totally worth it! After years of nagging, my husband also joined Najat's classes - he absolutely loves it and we now stretch and sweat together during her online sessions. As I have gotten older and the dreaded menopause has hit, I can honestly say that my muscles and posture, my core, breathing and my mental well-being, have all improved under Najat's experienced and skilful hands.

I've have gone to Najat's Pilates, FitClub and Stretch & Meditation sessions for quite a few years. Even in lock down Najat motivated us on Zoom Classes. She is inspirational ... she always looks at ways to learn new skills for herself and then impart that knowledge to others. Before the classes start she checks to see if anyone has any injuries etc. - couldn't ask for a more caring and professional trainer. I can't recommend Merton Health & Fitness highly enough.

I have had the pleasure of training with Najat for a couple of years now and I can honestly say I have loved every single class with her. They are tough and hughly enjoyable! Najat's endless knowledge, thorough cueing/correction, variety of class content, boundless enthusiasm and care for her students is second to none. Inspired by her amazing classes, I chose to take my love for pilates further and Najat supported me throughout my own pilates teaching training. The way in which Najat imparts so much knowledge in all of her classes was invaluable to my training. I trained with Najat prenatally up to 36weeks and will continue to do so postnatally too, her experience and knowledge has helped me no end. Najat is absolutely amazing at what she does and we are lucky to have her, I have recommended her to several people and will continue to do so!

Have been going to Najat’s classes since September 2021, after having a hysterectomy. My strength and ability after the operation was lacking and I still got tired very quickly. Have been with Najat for 8 months now and my strength and ability is amazing. I love the classes Najat is such a passion, caring instructor, works us hard and alway feel so good afterwards.

I've been doing weekly one to one reformer pilates at MH&F for 3 months and it has been very effective in building my muscle strength and coordination as well as loosening tightness in my neck and shoulders that had been building up from too much office screen-time over the last few years. Each session is challenging but different and the reformer is so versatile. Would highly recommend.

When I started Najat's HIIT classes about 5 years ago, I never imagined I'd get hooked - these outdoor sessions are completely motivating, for any ability, full of laughs, and new ideas and variety each time helping up to feel stronger, and happy. Najat also brings the same enthusiasm, knowledge, and hard work to her Pilates classes.

Was delighted to discover Najat's Pilates class and would hate to have to miss one....Even if I don't feel great at the beginning, I always feel revitalised afterwards. Her classes are varied and she pushes us only just enough whilst knowing individuals' health problems.

I cannot imagine my life without Merton Health and Fitness! I love the classes, Pilates, Fitclub and Stretch and Meditation. Najat is so knowledgeable, professional, friendly and kind - she creates such a lovely atmosphere in every class she teaches - online or in person. I have been with MH&F for 5 years and love how the classes are always different and I am encouraged to push myself to achieve more. I would (and do!) recommend MH&F to anyone.

I have been going to Najat’s classes for a few years now, doing the Pilates, Meditation and stretch classes and more recently her new Reformer Pilates classes. There aren’t enough stars to give Najat. She takes the time to get to know her clients and adapts her exercises if she knows you have any injuries or conditions. She’s incredibly motivating and so encouraging whether in a class or in a one to one session. I always come out of her classes feeling amazing.

This lady has changed my life! At the beginning she was so patient with me, as I had never done Pilates before, she always modified her classes which helped so much in the beginning.. I am now hooked and have been consistent with Najat's classes for the past 5.5years, which I think shows just how good she is. Throughout lockdown Najat did all she could to keep our spirits up despite the fact her life / job was turned upside down, her zoom classes kept us all going through those dark days. Her dedication and commitment to her clients is second to none. if you are thinking of starting Pilates I would HIGHLY recommend this lovely lady who has been in the fitness industry over 20 years now. Thank you Najat.
