"Discovering Core Concept has been a life saver! I started with personal training back in Feburary 2007; Sam has raised my self esteem beyond my dreams, and I now am addicted to Nordic Walking! Sam listens to your needs and works out what is needed to reach your goal". RING NOW - YOU WON'T REGRET IT! Philippa

"I've had different types of massage and in many different countries over the past 20 years.  Sam is a rare gem.  Her sensitive hands, her passion for the art, her knowledge of the anatomy and her adaptability make Sam a very gifted massage therapist.  She's helped me recover fully after I'd injured my back.  Now we still see her regularly to help keep the impact of stress under control". Chantale

"I began Nordic Walking with Sam's group at Kedleston in Sept 08. I have always enjoyed walking but was attracted to Nordic Walking for it's "whole body" approach. I have found both the exercise and the friendship to be exceedingly beneficial. Sam's calm and encouraging manner make her the ideal trainer. Contact her now you will not regret it". Kath.

The day that changed my life! - when Sam Armstrong introduced me to the wonderful sport of Nordic walking. This allows me to regularly exercise everyday on my own or in a group and is so enjoyable. I was previously unable to walk more than a short distance due to health problems – under Sam’s guidance I can now walk considerable distances easily and quickly with a great benefit to my health and I walk every day. I have no hesitation in recommending the exciting sport. Andrew Fryer.

Health and Variety!
To maintain momentum in striving for a healthy body I need interest and
variety,  with Sam I get bucket loads,Driving me hard as a personal trainer, a Nordic walk through some of the most beautiful countryside Derbyshire and Staffordshire have to offer.
All finished off with a superb sports massage for those tight and aching
limbs....more again next week please!!!
Many thanks Sam for the last 2 years I look forward to many more.
Kind Regards
Debbie from Shirley, Ashbourne.

I had such a fantastic time and I was on a high for hours after I got back. I couldn't sit still! It sounds a bit melodramatic but it's the first time in 8 years- since I broke my back- that I haven't felt disabled. I think maybe I might be one of the people whose life is changed by Nordic walking. I can't wait to get out there again. Helen.

I met Sam through a Circuit Training class at “Stripes” gym in Derby. With her professional approach she certainly knew how to get us moving every Monday morning with a varied and interesting set of exercises. I have now joined Sam with her Nordic Walking groups and love the fact that we can get a great work out in beautiful scenic countryside. So far the summer weather has been perfect but  I am also looking forward to the winter months and many bracing walks. Colleen

 My wife and I have met many lovely new people through Sam's Nordic walks. It certainly is a great way to exercise your whole body whilst enjoying the fabulous coutryside we live in. Sam really does find some special walks. Saturday walks are a particular highlight that often finish with lunch in a local hostelry. Sam's help and encouragement is an vital part of this most enjoyable pastime. We recommend it to anyone. Roger.
