Jessica is the Canadian influence on studioEH1.
" Within a fast-paced working environment in the events industry, a few years ago I began to suffer from lower back pain due to prolonged periods of time at my desk, followed by prolonged periods on my feet at events. With my athletic background, I was getting frustrated with the fact that I couldn't fit a run into my day, an hour for yoga, and despised a busy gym; and then I was introduced to the Power Plate.

 

In 3 months I had minimized my lower back pain, and had lost a stubborn 6lbs which I had kept from missing work-outs. From then on, I decided to devote my professional career to providing this service to others. I cannot recommend enough, to those with busy lifestyles and an awareness of their personal health, to take up training on the Power Plate."

Margaret was one of Helen’s first clients, on Helen’s arrival in Edinburgh.
A fitness enthusiast for many years, with a medical background in the nursing profession, Margaret realised the benefits of Power Plate training very quickly and was eager to take it further.
