"Debbie has inspired so many people over the years. I took my ETM exam 15 Years ago and at the time I was looking to teach aerobics as a fill in until I found a proper job, thats what I told her on the first day of the course. Debbie encouraged me and I am still in the fitness industry 15 years later. She taught me that you never stop learning and showed me how diverse an industry it was. She was my tutor and mentor in the early days and now she is my friend and on the odd occasion my counsellor. You will not find anyone with more passion and experience for this industry than Debbie. Thanks Deb XXXX"
