“Goodnick is a company devoted to the fitness and well being of the over 60's community. I feel part of the community and it helps me continue to be fitter as I age. I recommend Goodnick.”
“I must share how much I would recommend Good Nick. I have been round the houses with gyms and classes but they have been intimidating and I have lost interest. The Good Nick classes lasting 20 mins, 3 times a week plus a stretch class, can been done at home with minimal equipment, so easy to fit into daily routines. I have just completed Cycle 2 and have already noticed a vast improvement in my agility, strength and posture. I am 78! An added recommendation for being able to email with quick response if you have a query regarding you personally.”
“A very good programme in which a lot of information and support are provided. Very convenient to do at home. Lots of motivation provided too.”
“Good Nick has changed my life- I’m so much stronger!”
“It’s been extremely good so far and I am going to g into the third 9 weeks . I worry that it’s getting a little more strenuous and that I need motivation!!”
“I’ve never kept up an exercise program before but it’s been 18 weeks and I’m still very motivated by this one. It feels like a miracle. I’m 69 and I was recovering from serious back issues when I began so had very little muscle - the fact that it started gently and gradually got harder was perfect. Emma explains why we’re doing each exercise and how to do them correctly, and doing it with her just makes it easier not to cheat. I feel so much stronger now - taller, even! Everything is just that bit easier - walking, standing, lifting. I’m really grateful my sister referred me.”

“I love the Goodnick programme. Emma is a fantastic coach - very encouraging and seems to know exactly how I am feeling. Each class builds on the last and I feel I am constantly progressing and getting stronger and fitter.”
“I have just signed up for my third year, I love Goodnick as my progress builds with each cycle, there are 3 x 20 minutes sessions each week and a stretch class every Saturday. My strength, stamina and balance have certainly improved since I began the programme and I do genuinely look forward to each class. Highly recommend”
“I was keen to find an exercise programme to improve my strength and mobility, but wary of committing to an online group. However now I am so pleased that I joined. I have had knee surgery on both knees so was anxious that I would not cause any further problems or do any damage. From the beginning I have been so well supported and encouraged to work within my capability and I now feel fitter and stronger. In fact, yesterday I managed to sit on the beach and get up again without support. Such a positive and enlightening result!!”
“I joined Goodnick to help improve and maintain my flexibility and strength now I’m over 60! I love the flexibility of doing it at home and the structure of 3x 20 minute classes plus a weekend stretch class. Emma has a great coaching style, clear instructions with different levels of challenges and she makes it fun. I feel better physically and mentally and definitely recommend joining.”
“Transformative for me. 20-25 min sessions are easy to fit in so not tempted to skip. The slow build is very thoughtfully put together. Easy to ask questions which are quickly answered.”
“I feel I have really benefitted from joining Goodnick. The exercise routines are obtainable and structured so you can progress at your own rate. I intent to keep up the progress I have made.”
“After 18 weeks of GoodNick workouts, I am stronger and fitter, definitely noticing some muscle definition. The program is spectacular in that its enabled me to consistently workout 4 times a week, no workouts skipped.... haven't managed that a for at least 10 years!!!!!!! In addition to the workouts, there's a community to connect with and you can give feedback on each workout. Emma, is superb at ensuring you understand which muscles you are working and how to get the correct form for each exercise, and providing alternatives for anyone with limitations. And if you need advice on your workouts and your progress, you can drop them a line. I am looking forward to week 19 Isometric training. Thanks Goodnick you are making a real difference to me.”
“I really enjoy the Goodnick classes with Emma. She explains the moves very well and why and how the moves affect the various muscles and parts of the body. I have done gym exercise before at a club but I find to do them at home is more satisfactory. I would very much recommend Goodnick no matter what level you are.”
“It’s been a great way to build regular exercise into daily life. Feeling a real progression . Walking taller and straighter . It feels like Emma the trainer is in the room with you. Great programme”
“Cannot recommend Goodnick enough. 3/4 20 Minute sessions a week is totally doable. Emma is a superb coach, always reminding you to keep in the correct position, and giving alternatives for different levels of difficulty. I am much stronger, feel more confident on stairs and walking around busy London. I would advise anyone to go for it!”
“A very effective, well thought through programme that’s varied , fun to do and I feel safe doing. I’ve been doing Goodnick classes for two months now and I’m moving better and my legs are definitely stronger. In particular I’m enjoying walking more, including up a few hills and also getting down and up off the floor much more confidently when playing with grandchildren. Looking forward to lots more classes. Thanks to Emma and the team.”
“Prior to finding Goodnick I stopped and started a number of online exercise programmes, either because I hurt myself, or because I lost interest. After 19 weeks of Goodnick, I feel stronger and am finding activities like gardening significantly easier with much less pain. I wanted to find a programme that developed as I improved, and that kept my interest, and Goodnick certainly provides this. Plus my little whatsapp group from the initial phase of Goodnick is still together and still providing support, which is lovely. Emma is a lovely supportive coach, and I am hoping the programme will keep me moving for many years to come!”
“Like many women of my age, I wasn't sure if I would stick to this exercise regime but here I am six months later and enjoying every session! It's more that just exercise - there is so much support and health advice. I feel so much better for this and highly recommend it.”
“I enjoy doing the sessions, but find some challenging. I consider I have benefited from this. I feel stronger and my balance has improved.”
“I started the Goodnick after seeing something on social media and at the same time a friend who had just had a knee replacement mentioned that she was doing the 9 week programme and it was helping. I thought I would try it without any real expectation that I would enjoy it, rather thinking that I would do 9 weeks trial and then stop. I couldn’t have imagined that after 18 weeks I am loving the 4 sessions a week. I am 71 and thankfully healthy but I certainly wasn’t fit and whilst I knew I needed to be fitter I had no motivation to do anything about it. Goodnick has been a revelation!! The classes are great, Emma is really encouraging. She helps me to believe in my capacity to improve. I’ve already bought heavier weights and stronger stretch bands!! I noticed the progress gradually and began to notice that I could manage to walk up hill a little more easily and that I felt a bit more energetic. I was never going to enjoy the super competitive gym environment with OAPs doing superhuman tasks ( good luck to them but it’s not for me) but this is a safe and supportive programme that allows me to fit it in to my lifestyle. I usually get up and do the session first thing and I can honestly say I look forward to it. My aim is to keep fit and strong for as long as possible so that I can continue to have an active and independent life and enjoy doing the things I love with the people I love. Goodnick is a great way to achieve that and I thoroughly recommend it . I only wish I had found it sooner.”
“I have now enjoyed Goodnick for just over 4 months. I started on the initial 9 week programme then decided to join the Club (monthly fee = approx £3 per session). The fact that I am still enjoying it after 4 months proves to me that I really enjoy it. I love how it makes me exercise consistently, covering strength training, resistance training, cardio, mobility and balance. I am pleased that all the sessions are slightly different and Emma is a FANTASTIC coach. I can definitely feel the improvements to achy, stiff joints and leg and arm strength. My balance has also improved. I would highly recommend Goodnick!”
“I am so glad that I started this programme. I have always found it hard to stick to exercise, but I am in the last week of my second 9 week cycle of Goodnick and I am still going strong. It has become part of my routine and I am feeling the benefits. I thoroughly recommend joining. I love how every session is different- I don’t get bored. The 20 minutes goes quickly. I found the exercises easy to begin with but soon they became more challenging and I know I’ve gained strength and stamina. An extra bonus is the opportunity to join a fortnightly Zoom session with a doctor who answers any health related questions. He is amazing! My experience with Goodnick has been completely positive. I can’t recommend it highly enough.”
“I wish I had come across Goodnick years ago. After taking part in the Nine Week program, I decided to sign up to a year of classes, Lots of people do it on a month by month basis. The exercises progress steadily, cater for different levels of fitness, and are very easy to fit in to your weekly routine, and if you miss any classes you can continue them at your own pace. Emma is great, she makes exercising fun, it’s like having a personal trainer, but at the same time you feel part of a community, no matter which day, or what time I exercise, I always imagine I am doing it along with a whole bunch of ladies. There is lots of support and encouragement. If you want to improve your balance and mobility this is money well spent, I feel so much better for doing this program.”
“I am loving the goodnick programme, it is such a supportive community and our coach Emma is fabulous. The exercises are geared for the maturer person and you are given options to either push yourself or to take it at a steadier pace. I did wonder in the beginning if it was worth the money but it absolutely is! I am so glad I took the leap and joined! Just about to start my third set of 9 weeks and look forward to what is to come next as the exercises are never the same which keeps you motivated and I can certainly feel the difference in my muscles ð_x009f__x0092_ª ð_x009f__x0098__x008a_”
“I’ve never managed consistent exercise before I found Good Nick and I’m reaping the benefits of the regular practice. Tbh I can always ‘find’ twenty minutes … and I love how quickly it passes too! I’m so much more supple after 17 weeks and find bending and straightening, getting up off chairs and the floor so much easier now. I’m just about to go from 1kg to 2 on the weights and I’m so proud of myself! The fact that every class is different means I stay focused and if I’m worrying about something I can ‘shelve’ it to concentrate on the moment. The weekend stretch class feels like a little reward and I’m looking forward to the next 9 week programme. Thanks Good Novk. & Emma”
“Joining Goodnick's online programme has been transformational for me. I'm 72 and have severe arthritis in both knees. I am steadily building strength, mobility and balance through this programme ,which I believe has almost certainly significantly delayed the need for surgery. This is the first exercise programme I've been able to stick with. The steady progression and the range of exercises is perfect for me. I'm now able to do exercises that would have felt impossible a few months ago.”
“I highly recommend Goodnick! I am not a gym or sports lover, so being able to follow this excellent programme, in my own home has been the perfect answer for me. I can fit sessions around my busy life and i can really feel the benefits as it enables me to keep doing the things I love with more stamina and strength.”
“Goodnick sessions are well presented in a safe but fun way. Its helping me find my way back to fitness with regular sessions which can be done when it suits me”
“I have started and stopped so many exercise classes or bought but never used gym membership until I came across Goodnick. I started with the 3 day tester and have been taking the online classes ever since. Each session builds on the next and I quickly saw how my body was becoming more flexible and stronger. Each of the exercises are well explained and there is a very nice, supportive online community. If you are a super fit youngster it isn’t for you but if you are a more mature lady looking to improve your fitness give it a go. I can honestly say it has been money well spent.”
“It has been years since I took part in an exercise programme and I'm so glad I started Goodnick. I'm now about 16 weeks in and feel stronger, healthier and even my balance has improved. Emma encourages you through the exercises and I can't believe what I'm able to do now - I look forward to the 20 minute sessions and I never thought I'd ever say that about exercise! I can't recommend the Goodnick programme enough - do it for yourself you'll be so you did.”
“Having had a knee replacement early in 2025 and not exercising at all for more than 2 years - I could barely walk prior to my knee replacement! I was really apprehensive about starting an exercise regime. I didn't want the faff and expense of gym membership and I had read good reviews of Goodnick so I started their programme, I'm so glad I did! I have almost completed 18 weeks and can honestly say I am transformed. I'm fitter than I have been for years. I would advise any woman to give Goodnick a try. Even when I really really don't want to do the exercise I can say "well it's only 20 minutes" and of course when I'm done I am delighted as I feel so much better. Emma's coaching is exemplary and the support from Goodnick is excellent. It is worth every penny.”
“When I started with Goodnick I considered myself fit but I was aware that somethings weren’t as easy to do as they used to be and I was fully aware of the phrase “ use it or lose it”! So I signed up just to see. Initially I found most of the exercises very easy but I felt it must be good to keep moving plus the stretch session was always very good. As we have progressed things have become more challenging and I am really feeling the benefits. I see a personal trainer once a week for 30minutes and he is really noticing a difference. Thank you, I do try to encourage my friends to join but sadly as yet no one has.”
“I have exercised on and off all my life. I am now 71 and gyms have lost their charm and Personal Trainers are too expensive so I was cautiously optimistic when I came across Good Nick. I worked my way through the three free sessions and the first 9 weeks enjoying it more and more. I then joined the Club and now rely on it to keep me moving and fit. Emma hits exactly the right note and I have been greatly encouraged by how much I enjoy the gently increasing challenge. I actually feel irritated when life stops me doing the sessions on the right days but always catch up on the free days and weekend. I think it is an incredible resource and I am very pleased I found Good Nick. Love the name too!!”
“I have thoroughly enjoyed the progression that I am achieving with the Goodnick programme. The format of the sessions is so easy to keep on top of and Emma's coaching style is great. I definitely feel stronger and am moving better.”
“I never leave reviews but this programme has been a game changer for me! 20 minutes 3 times a week plus a 15 minute stretch session at the weekend has been enough to make a huge difference to how I feel. My flexibility, balance and stamina have all improved over the past few months. Emma changes up the exercises so that it's never boring, always challenging us to push ourselves a little more whilst staying safe. As a lifelong reluctant exerciser, I now find myself, at the age of 63, thoroughly enjoying it and can't see myself ever not doing this!”
“I had been wanting to join an exercise programme for some time when I found Goodnick It is perfect for me as I am able to build up my strength and stamina gradually and at my own pace and at a time to suit myself. Emma and the Goodnick team are very encouraging.and supportive and always available for any questions that members of the club may have.”
“I knew that at the age of 63 my daily desk job was taking a massive toll on my body after so many years, and my hips felt like they were stuck in a 90 degree angle and my leg muscles were rapidly losing strength due to lack of exercise. Yet my daily/weekly life didn't seem to leave me any spare time to start going to the gym - which I didn't really enjoy anyway as I always felt 'stupid' at not knowing what I should be doing when I got there. Plus it was coming into the winter and I knew deep down I'd not want to go out in the cold on a dark winter's evening. So when Goodnick popped up on Facebook and it was something I could do at home, in private, in my own time, and following the government standards for exercise 'for ladies of a certain age' it seemed like a good idea so I took the plunge and signed up for the 9 week initial session. There is a WhatsApp online support group to get you through it too. The 20 minute length of each class (15 minutes for the Saturday stretch class) is very do-able and can easily be fitted in at your own convenience. I'm now signed up to the ongoing monthly classes and each class is interesting, easy to follow and easy to do. Emma (instructor) is lovely, she always, ALWAYS, has a smile on her face and she is very encouraging throughout the class. If you're on the fence then take the leap. It can only do you good and help you prepare for the future by strengthening your body which is a win-win for each of us.”
“I'm 64, have an arthritic knee and was getting scarily aware of my reducing strength and mobility. Finding Goodnick has been a total relief and I am so grateful for the regular 20 minute sessions, online, with Emma that have slowly, safely and surely got me back to feeling confident in my own body. I've gone from feeling a sense of panic at obviously getting 'old' to an optimistic enjoyment of increased fitness and a feeling of security in being well looked after. Goodnick even gave me a fabulous session with Jacob, a nutritionist, who set me straight on increased protein needs to help avoid increasing fatigue. There are also regular opportunities to put questions to their own doctor, Dan, about any worries you might have. They can't fix my knee but they've made it a whole lot better through varied exercise which is making it stronger. It's worth noting they charge a very reasonable price too- no rip-off here, quite the opposite! I can't recommend them enough.”
“The club has made so much difference to me in every way.. I can feel that I am stronger and more flexible and I am looking forward to continuing to build on this more. I can fit the at home classes around the other things I need to do and the support and information you receive is really great. The way the exercises change from session to session means it doesn’t get boring and for the first time ever I feel this is something I will be able to stick with for the long term.”
“Goodnick helped me regain my posture - to walk tall again! I feel so much more supple that all chores around the house are now more manageable. And I'm an 86 year old! I'm very grateful for the support and encouragement given and am now keeping up the good things I have learned from Goodnick. Can't thank them enough.”
“I started the programme about 4 months ago and I’m already noticing a difference with my strength. There are 3 classes of 20 minutes per week and 1 stretch class. They can be accessed at any time that is convenient. The instructor is super friendly and makes the classes very enjoyable. I’m very happy with the programme.”
“An excellent exercise programme that gradually and safely increases the difficulty of the exercises. In 20 minute segments it is easy to fit into your week and Emma gives detailed instructions along with adaptations to make exercises either easier or more challenging. If you are over 60 and nervous about getting back into exercising this is the plan for you.”
“This on-line excercise programme is the best I have ever found. I have followed it for 18 weeks now. Each class is unique, no repeats. The results for me have been really great. Strength, agility and self confidence have improved.”
“This programme has been brilliant for me . Having had hip replacement surgery 2 years ago I had lost a lot of strength and flexibility and despite seeing physios chiropractors etc still couldn’t get rid of the limp ! 18 weeks into this programme and I’m so much stronger , more mobile and limp free . Got my Mojo back ...”
“A very well structured course with easy to follow instruction by trainer Emma and great back-up support from Helen.”
“I’ve been doing the Goodnick program for 18 weeks and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Emma is a superb instructor- her instructions are detailed with an emphasis on safety and going at your own pace. Realistically over the age of sixty you’re likely to have joint issues and that’s incorporated into the classes. The whole thing is so well thought through. Bravo.”
“I have loved the Goodnick programe and have signed up for a year. Emma is so good as a teacher, the right balance between support and challenge. I was a little unsure of an online programme but it works really well. It feels like Emma is in the room with me! Online also means I can fit the sessions into my day and repeat them if I want to. I wholeheartedly recommend the Goodnick programme.”
“I'm 75 and fairly fit, but felt I needed to get stronger, particularly as I have osteoporosis, so I gave Goodnick a go. I found the introductory 9 week course not that challenging to begin with, but it definitely became more demanding. I'm now on the last week of the second course and am very pleased with my progress. My upper body strength in particular has improved. I'll certainly be carrying on. What is really great about the course is that you do it from home, when it suits you. I've even been known to do a class in my PJs! Emma is a great coach, and I would highly recommend this programme.”
“I have found the Goodnick programme to be excellent. The sessions start off at a good level, which I think would be attainable for most, but with adaptations available for those with mobility issues. With a structured path provided to improve strength, stamina and flexibility, the Goodnick programme has kept me motivated to exercise for the last 4 months and I intend to continue. Customer service is also excellent.”
“I signed up to Goodnick a few months ago hopeful that I would regain some of my lost muscle strength, flexibility and stamina, after a period ill health. I have not been disappointed. I can already feel the benefits, my mobility and balance have improved and I feel much more confident. The team are very approachable, encouraging and supportive and I highly recommend them to anyone wanting to improve their general fitness and health.”
“I tried Goodnick to help restore my fitness level after 7 months of not exercising due to a neck problem. I intended to stop and get back to my yoga classes but found the structure of 4 sessions a week really useful and it helped my overall fitness. I have now combined both Goodnick and yoga and also a new Tai Chi class! I can really see how the progression of the exercises are working and intend to continue I would recommend Goodnick to anyone wanting to improve stamina and fitness”
“This is a fantastic exercise programme for anyone feeling a bit older and out of shape. I’m sixty four and have been doing the exercise routines for four months now and feel so much stronger and more resilient. It’s amazing that just twenty minute sessions make such a difference but they do and the best thing is I stay motivated because it’s only twenty minutes of my day so I just get on with it. I’ve never managed to stick to a programme before because they always felt too hard or too long. Goodnick has built me up slowly and takes account of whether one is fitter or much more challenged and the coaching is amazing. It’s also a very supportive and safe environment. If you’re not sure whether to go for it I would say give it a try. There’s nothing to lose.”
“A well thought through ,and thorough, programme of exercises, alternating between upper & lower body + core & a separate post exercise stretching session. The classes gradually increase in intensity ; one feels that all the main muscle groups have been exercised, by the end of the week! As the programme is just 20minutes long each day× for 3 days, it doesn't prevent you getting on with any other commitments you have. I look forward to the classes.”
“I have really appreciated the regular classes that create a structure for my exercise and fitness. I still work as a teacher and find it difficult to exercise regularly. Emma gives a range of challenges throughout the class so that we can progress at our own pace. She also makes it fun! I'll continue with Goodnick for the foreseeable future. I'm glad I discovered it!”
“Absolutely love this programme, it is so easy to join Emma first thing in the morning to start my day off on the right path I have always hated working out in front of people and with programme I don't have to leave the house. If I can't make a class I can catch up later. I highly recommend this to anybody who wants to get fitter, stronger and more mobile as Emma offers different options depending on your ability.”
“I love Goodnick. The exercises are carefully graded and the challenge is very gradually increased. I like the convenience of being able to exercise at home coupled with feedback from the team and being able to contact them for advice. The fact that it is specifically aimed at the older woman is reflected in the way the program works.”
“Excellent programme. When I first started I was concerned that it wasn’t relevant to me, as although I had a ‘dodgy shoulder ‘ I had no mobility problems however within the first month I was feeling the benefits. I love the format especially that any decision making about what to do is taken of. This also ensures that I exercise areas that I would previously ignore because it was too hard, this has had great results especially my dodgy shoulder isn’t as dodgy anymore”
“The Goodnick program of exercises, as demonstrated by Emma, allow you to gain confidence, controll, flexibility and strength in a controlled progressive manner over a period of weeks. I'd highly recommend them.”
“I am 82 years old with arthritic knees and a hump in my back ! I joined Goodnick in September and I feel it was money very well spent. I follow the programme most mornings just after I wake up . Emma is so encouraging and the 20 minutes flashes by. It is a slightly different programme each morning so it never gets boring. I am now easily doing things that were impossible at the start like getting up and down off the floor. I and my family notice a great difference and improvement in my general stability and movement . Well done, thank you Goodnick and team Linda”
“I completed the GoodNick 9 week programme and was so impressed, I then joined the GoodNick club. Emma is a wonderful, friendly instructor, there's support from the GoodNick team and other club members via WhatsApp, and there are bi-monthly group Zoom calls with a doctor where you can have your questions answered. As for the exercises, they are tailored to the over 60's but you can go at your own pace. After a session, I definitely feel better, both physically and mentally. I wish I had discovered GoodNick years ago.”
“I have been delighted with Goodnick. I tried their 3 day free challenge and thought this seems good. I am 88 and do not want to take the risk of having a fall as I understand that can drastically reduce life expectancy. By following along Goodnick classes for nine weeks I knew that I am more balanced and stronger. I’ve never paid for exercises on the web before just used free on Utube but these GN are far superior taking one further along the line to better fitness. So then I paid up for a year. Not that I always feel like doing the exercises but know I must get them done just 20 minutes 4 times a week. Highly recommend.ð_x009f__x0098__x0089_”
“Years ago when I was young and fit I used to go to Aerobic Classes twice a week and go for long walks at weekends. The classes were in the evenings, so I had to get the family fed, change into my leggings, drive to the gym or hall, find a parking space, pay my dues, then do the class, then drive home afterwards. As you can imagine this didn’t last, and I found excuses not to go! I’m not exactly a couch potato but started to feel that I needed to do something for me. I was feeling unfit and slightly wobbly and starting to feel my age! I thought this couldn’t go on. So when I saw the advertisement for Goodnick on Facebook was intrigued and thought I would give it a go for the initial 9-week course. The good thing was that I didn’t have to leave my home and could fit classes into my life seamlessly. What’s not to like?! Well, I’m now in my 18th week and feel absolutely great. My balance has improved, I don’t feel puffed out, I’m more supple and best of all, I feel fit! I can’t say anything bad about the classes as I think Emma is so inspiring and is great for motivating you to keep going. I say give it a go, you won’t regret it, I certainly don’t!”
“I have been part of the Goodnick programme for a few months. I have osteoarthritis in both knees and both mobility and pain were bad. I am now much much stronger and flexible. The exercises are achievable, accessible and enjoyable (most of the time !). I really recommend it - money well spent and I will be continuing with it.”
“Having nursed my husband for 3 years until he died I needed to get myself moving again. So pleased I found Goodnick, I've never had enough self discipline to exercise regularly before but getting a video class four times a week has kept me going. There's plenty of encouragement and personal response to queries too. I can't believe how much I'm enjoying myself; at 78 I am fitter, stronger and more flexible than I've ever been. No medication, no joint replacements, and still a regular blood donor! I am very fortunate and intend to keep active as long as possible”
“I started these hoping I would benefit in a small way, but what I’ve achieved has helped me so much. Where once over I found difficulty getting up from the floor I now find it a lot easier. My overall feeling is that I feel stronger in myself and have more energy. I can strongly recommend Goodnick, I look forward to each new session.”
“Goodnicks is so addictive, I love the Variety of exercises , and I would be lost without the classes . Thank you to the lovely Emma”
“I am so pleased to leave a review of my journey with GOODNICK, I have tried so many exercise classes over the years but never stuck with them, I saw the offer of 3day challenge,lt was so good I joined up, now on 8th week, the 20 minutes classes are very good, not too much, Emma is very encouraging, gives good information in how our bodies are working, I have learnt so much about how my body is reacting to exercise. So pleased that there is further help after the 9th week. There is a lovely WhatsApp support group, we chat and the encouragement helps so much. There is also good support from the Goodnicks team. I can honestly say give it a go, I am in my late 70s, my posture and balance has so much improved, to walk now with walking stick shows what can be achieved”
“I have just completed the 9 week course and am looking forward to continuing. I’m 76 and originally purchased the course sometime ago but didn’t complete it. Health issues and caring responsibilities got in the way but this summer I signed back in and finally completed it. I honestly feel so much fitter. I’m a regular walker and have noticed a difference in my stamina and pace. I have enjoyed doing the classes and 20 mins never feels too daunting. I have found some things more challenging than others but none of the exercises were impossible to complete. I sometimes felt Emma could see me with her little reminders about technique when we were doing the exercises. I have 4 young grandchildren and it’s important to me to stay fit and well. for them. It was a bonus to find I’d lost inches and my clothes were feeling loose.”
“Goodnick has been the best investment I’ve ever made to improve my health and fitness. I am 68 and I want to reach 70 fitter and stronger than I ever thought possible and I truly believe I can now do that. The program is amazing, progressive and challenging at the right pace, as a lifelong exercise dodger I’ve finally found something that’s perfect for me. I already feel stronger, more flexible and my balance is so much better after 9 short weeks. If you are considering joining, don’t hesitate, Emma and the team will look after you very well. I can’t recommend it enough.”
“I joined GoodNick as I felt I was losing strength and stamina after a difficult few months healthwise. I am 78 and the thought of joining a gym was scary. The GoodNick programme has been marvellous and I am amazed at how much I have achieved in 9 weeks. Definitely fitter than I have been for years and my tummy is firming up! I am lucky in that I have not needed help with health issues but some of my clas mates have and I have seen how much advice, support and encouragement they have received.”
“I am not someone who normally enjoys exercise so gyms don't attract me. I joined Goodnick as I have low bone density and was told that exercise would help. I have just completed the nine week programme and absolutely loved it. The best bits: Exercises are explained well making them easy to follow and safe to do I can do the classes at a time that suits me and can catch up if I miss a class My balance, strength and stamina have all improved dramatically I'm proud of what I have achieved and that makes me feel better about myself Whilst this was never about appearance, I can see improvements in myself. I was feeling old (I'm 67) and hadn't realised how my body had lost some of its strength, but now feel stronger and fitter I see a real improvement in everyday activities. Getting up off the floor is easy, my knees don't ache after a night of dancing or a long walk, I hinge from the hips rather than bed my back until it aches. I have joined the Goodnick club and completed my first class this morning. Money well spent!”
“So pleased I decided to join Goodnick. A very friendly and supportive set up and most professional. The format of 4 x 20-minute sessions a week is a winner. I've never enjoyed exercise before and also, at nearly 75, I wasn't sure I could stay the course. However, after 9 weeks I'm ready to continue and have signed up for more. I'm already feeling fitter, stronger and more in control of my body, so who knows what the next year will bring!”
“I have enjoyed the first 9 weeks. Am already feeling the benefits physically and mentally. It has kickstarted me into taking time out for myself........ I forget to do that! Emma is an excellent coach. I like the diverse range of exercises and the various opportunities to step it up to the next level. I particularly like the flexibility of being able to fit the 20 minutes into my day when it suits me and its like having your very own one on one coach. I'd recommend giving it a go. Nothing to lose and everything to gain. "if you don't use it, you lose it"”
“I had my doubts before I started the 9 week course as I have not had the staying power for exercise courses before. I can now say that thanks to all the support, motivation and help from Goodnick that I feel I am in better shape than I have been for a very long time indeed. I look forward to my sessions and have joined the Goodnick Club to keep moving forward. Many thanks Emma and team.”
“Excellent opportunity to begin a consistent, effective wellness journey- it’s never too late to start! I found the 20 minute sessions enjoyable and do-able, I cannot them around my busy life. I now feel healthier and fitter and am looking forward to continuing my journey. Thank you Goodnick!”
“I signed up for the 9 week programme and absolutely loved it. The gradual progression worked really well for me and I definitely felt stronger at the end of the 9 weeks. I’d thoroughly reccomend this programme to anyone who wants to feel stronger and healthier .”
“I have thoroughly enjoyed Goodnick and I can’t praise them all enough. I would highly encourage anyone who’s thinking about joining to go for it as it has helped me immensely. I had to stop for a while due ill health, but I have missed doing the workouts and engaging with other people in the community through the chats as you don’t feel alone. So come on what are you waiting for!”
“I thoroughly enjoyed the 9 week course and can definitely feel the benefits! A well structured progression to improved fitness and well being.”
“I’m really enjoying my classes with Rmma. I can fit them into my schedule and am finding that as the weeks progress I am being challenged more. Thanks Emma!”
“Enabled me to complete movements I never thought I could. Mixture of challenges and great encouragement. Thank you Emma.”
“I discovered Goodnick from a friend in the spring of 203. I had just had surgery for breast cancer and was doing my best to recover from the radiation treatment. The 9 week challenge was brilliant. I was able to dip in and out of it depending on my energy levels. After about 8 months I felt strong enough to hit the gym. Within two months my hip went and I ended up on a waiting list for hip replacement. The 9 week program stayed with me as best I could manage. I used to dance, running, bootcamp and aerobics but all that changed since 2023. Having said that and the feeling I had lost a part of me, Goodnick and Emma make me feel like I can be stronger and fitter once again.”
“I have enjoyed being part of Good Nick so much. I have noticed a great improvement in my balance and agility. Each session is so well planned and Emma is so good at explaining what to do to get the best out of each class. I wasn't sure about joining the WhatsApp group but I'm so glad I did. The women on it have been so supportive of each other and Good Nick chip in at just the right amount and leave ownership of the group to the members. Starting with Good Nick was such a good decision. I've got a long journey ahead to achieve my goals but I'm so happy to be supported by Good Nick all the way to good health and improved fitness. Thank you Good Nick!”
“I am reasonably fit, cycling to work and running the occasional 10k or half marathon. I was concerned, though that my upper body and core were not keeping pace with the rest of me but didn’t want to go to a gym and lacked the discipline to do press ups at home. Good Nick has been excellent, getting me to know my whole body and even where I thought I was strong, revealing gaps. Its gentle progression is good and I can see that if I were frailer or had an injury, how their recommended adaptations and instructions would make exercise possible even for those who can barely get out of a chair. The explanations are helpful as well. The 20 -25 minutes at time, at a time of my choosing, is ideal and I have not been bored or unchallenged despite my overall fitness level. I find the classes enjoyable and energising and they fit into my life without having to make complicated plans or frantic booking strategies. Overall, a very well thought out, well presented and helpful course. I plan to sign up for the long term and encourage friends and family to try it out. Thank you GoodNick!”
“At 74 i decided to get strong and fitter, we had a house to renovate and 2 young grandchildren to take pleasure in. I don’t like gyms I had recently gone back to yoga classes but felt very stiff and sore after every class, then I found Goodnick and decided to give it a try. The difference has been amazing slowly and steadily over the 9 week course I started to improve movement, and strength. My balance isn’t as good as it was but I’m a work in progress. I’m up and down stairs all day and am in the process of painting the house indoors from top to bottom which is quite a feat. I have found GN fits in with my life its 20 minutes out of my day and I’ve noticed an improvement in my mental health as I live in Scotland the grey days get me down at times but with GN after I exercise in the morning I feel good to go for the rest of the day. I would recommend this programme to everyone the modifications are there to be used which allows you to build your confidence on certain moves so yes just do it. You have 3 days free then onto 9 weeks then the club a gradual Process which gives you confidence to do more. Lots of reminders throughout the class is of great benefit when starting too. Go for it everyone you’ve nothing to lose. And finally Emma I think you’re great.”
“Very impressed with the Goodnick fitness programme for over 60’s. I’ve now joined the club to keep the fitness and well being going. Great combination of strength, balance with yoga type stretching too. Thoroughly recommend.”
“Emma gives clear instructions of each part of the workout to suit all leaves.”
“Lovely course, really worth joining.”
“This has been such fun, from the moment I started the three day challenge to now in my 8th week of the starter programme. It has also been a challenge, to do more than I think I can and a revelation that more is possible! I planned to do new things in my 70’s and this is certainly something I would never have imagined doing. I’m looking forward to a whole new me in the future programmed that I’ve signed up for. Thank you Emma, Supercoach!!”
“I initially joined the Goodnick 9 week introduction programme in an effort to improve my overall health, strength and fitness. I found it so beneficial that I decided to sign up and commit to a subscription to the Goodnick Club and haven’t looked back since ! I love the workouts and I can really see and feel the progress I’m making each week. Emma our online coach is amazing and I look forward to each 20 min class dropping into my email. I can’t recommend Goodnick club highly enough Go on try it you’ve got nothing to loose !”
“I completed a nine week course after a taster it was flexible in that the email arrives about 6.am so any early riser may wish to take part before breakfast. But you can catch up if you miss a day three 20 min sessions then stretch on the weekend. Emma makes it easy to follow & helpful working every part of your body. I was so happy to now be in week 5 of the next Goodnick follow on Super sets. Using bands and weights but not always. We can comment how we found a session & also with others on Whatsapp supporting each other. I now feel I can achieve a lot more as regular workouts 3 times a week and a stretch are really good. With a sip of water along the way. Feel very encouraged and especially floor work which I wasn't used to its amazing what you can achieve with practise. Highly recommend. Ideal for keeping us fit & supple as our body ages.”
“I joined Goodnick because I was feeling sluggish and stodgy. I regularly do yoga for a lower back problem but although it helped my back it wasn't helping me feel better about myself. Goodnick exercise classes feel like a personal trainer in your lounge! Emma is very motivating and I soon realised that I was looking forward to the sessions (and I usually hate any exercise!). During my nine weeks initial training I had an operation which set me back a bit but I was motivated enough to keep showing up and adapting as best I could. Gradually in spite of my setbacks I began to feel better strength in my knees and thighs, a better positive attitude just because I was doing 4 classes a week. It gave me confidence that in time I will return my health to somewhere better than it has been for a long while, and most amazingly I will be enjoying the journey!!”
“Hi, I am in week 9 of the Goodnick programme. It’s been quite a challenge for me as I am not into fitness! I have really appreciated Emma’s approach, encouraging us and skillfully building up our levels of flexibility, strength and fitness. Results are subtle but significant, and as a result I am going to join the Club, just in the ‘nick of time’!”
“Anyone over 60 who feels that the fitness programs classes are too difficult please give this a try, brilliant coaching and support, worth every penny. I’m now signed up for good! So helps functional movement and balance joined after breaking my ankle and needing to get fit again. I’m not there yet but know this will help me be the best I can be thank you team Goodnick”
“I completed the first nine weeks and have decided to carry on. It starts easy and ramps up in a way that keeps you motivated and surprised at what you can do! Each class is just the right length that you can always squeeze it in to your day and there are real people to answer questions and give you a boost if you fall behind. The head coach is brilliant at explaining the techniques and making the class fun. I’m completely shocked by how much different I feel in just 9 weeks and by the fact that I’ve stuck with it. I started with one shoulder that was seizing up and constantly painful. Now there’s no pain and the range of motion is improving every week. I highly recommend the Goodnick programme.”
“Goodnick had really helped me get into an exercise routine which feels both manageable and challenging. After 9 weeks I feel stronger and fitter and I’m looking forward to continuing!”
“Goodnick has been so very good for me. At 80 years old wondered if it would be too much but it hasn't been. Of course there are things I'm not yet able to do but overall feel much stronger and confident that life isn't all down here from now on! I hope continuing on Age Smarter will yield even more positive results. Thank you. Diane”
“Highly recommended programme. Fits in with a busy life. Really efficient and lovely coach who encourages kindly and gently, but keeps you moving forward imperceptibly until you think ‘Wow! I couldn’t do that before I started with Goodnick’”
“This programme of exercises has sooo worked for me. It’s manageable and progressive and I’m so proud of nearly completing the full 9 week initial course. Definitely plan to carry on. It is such a balanced approach ticking off exercise areas I had previously underestimated such as strength building”
“Saw this on Facebook. I was interested but sceptical. Checked out reviews and took a chance. I'm so, so glad I did. I couldn't believe my progress in 9 weeks, I felt so much fitter and stronger. Anyone who is dithering, I urge you to give it a go. You'll be very glad you did ð_x009f__x0099__x0082_ð_x009f__x0092_ªð_x009f__x0092__x009b_”
“Having completed the initial 9-week course and now being a few weeks into being a Goodnick member, I feel in a position to recommend Goodnick to other women my age. From easy beginnings, our instructor, Emma, can now make us sweat, and I can see an improvement in my strength and balance. The beauty of the three 20 minute sessions per week (plus an enjoyable stretch class) is that you are doing them in your own home at a time to suit you and wearing whatever you feel like wearing - no-one can see you! I signed up to continue, as I want to make further progess and really need the motivation. I am in many ways a lazy slob, and being part of Goodnick helps me to keep going and feel good about myself! Emma is of course annoyingly trim and well-proportioned, but she is also very normal, likeable and encouraging. When you feel you are far from perfect yourself, this is a big help!”
“The programme has made a real difference. It's tailored for older women who like me do not feel at home in a gym. I have felt part of a very supportive community of professionals and fellow good nickers. I feel fitter and more confident physically and mentally. I can't believe that I'm saying this but it has been fun, I really look forward to the sessions.”
“I’ve just completed the 9-week online exercise programme for women over 60 and was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to commit to. Doing four 20-minute sessions a week felt far more manageable than I expected, and it quickly became part of my routine. The classes are well structured, gradually increasing in difficulty as the weeks go on, and no two sessions are ever the same, which keeps things fresh and motivating. Emma is such an engaging and enthusiastic trainer – her energy and positive outlook really rub off on you, and it honestly feels like having a personal trainer right there in the room. I noticed positive results by the end of the 9 weeks, which is why I didn’t hesitate to sign up for the year-long programme. Highly recommended!”
“I am just completing the Goodnick 9 week program and have now signed up to continue my journey I wanted to build my strength and stamina as I am a lady of a certain age. The program is well run and structured all abilities are included. Emma is a good coach. You have the added benefit of a What’s App group to keep you motivated. Any queries are answered promptly. If you find something particularly difficult you are given personal adapted exercises. I would recommend the program”
“I am very happy to have discovered Goodnick. Amazingly, for someone who hates exercise, I actually look forward to the 4 x weekly sessions. The 20 minutes fly by and I am proud that so far I have been able to do all the exercises (apart from the press ups). I am on week 8 of the 9 week programme and have just signed up to the rolling monthly programme. I have noticed small but steady improvements in my overall fitness and stamina - the main one being that I can now climb the stairs without clinging onto the handrail and hauling myself up! Also, I am a keen swimmer and find that I can do extra lengths in the pool quite effortlessly which is a big plus. I would definitely recommend Goodnick to older ladies like myself. (I'm 65 by the way)”
“I am very wary of the many fitness plans for older women advertised on social media, having been caught out in the past. Goodnick is genuine, supportive and easy to ask questions. The classes are progressive and very easy to fit into the day or catch up on if you miss one. You are accountable within the small group doing the classes at the same time, which gives us incentive and encouragement, whatever health issues we may have. Highly recommended”
“Excellent programme with a fab instructor Emma. This is the 1st time ive stayed with a programme for 9 weeks. Normally I would give up after about 3 weeks but accountability and encouragement from GoodNick have kept me going. I've loved each and everyone of the 36 classes covering strength, flexibility and stamina and i can certainly feel the difference, particularly with strengthening my core as I have lower back issues. I'm now looking forward to continuing with the annual programme and staying part of the Goodnick team. Thanks to Emma and all the ladies in the GoodNick group.”
“Joined a 9 week introductory course as an unfit woman with aching, stiff joints. The programme offers 3 x 20 minute upper and lower body targeted exercises and an additional 15 minute stretch class. The classes start very gently, with adaptations to suit levels of flexibility. I found these classes excellent and well taught, with plenty of encouragement by the trainer, Emma to keep going. The 20 minute sessions were just the right length, stamina wise! At the end of the 9 weeks I decided to continue with the programme with an annual subscription and am very pleased that I have. There is an optional WhatsApp group chat which is good for questions and group encouragement. Would recommend for anyone in their 60s who wants to improve their flexibility and strength.”
“I really enjoyed the 9 week programme and have signed up to the Goodnick Club to continue my fitness journey. Emma is a very motivating coach and all the exercises are clearly explained and demonstrated. I had Iona as a mentor on the WhatsApp chat group and she was brilliant at suggesting some alternative exercises as I was still recovering from abdominal surgery. Customer Services are also excellent - I dealt with Rachel when I needed a wee extension of time to complete the 9 week programme. It's really convenient as you can do it at home at a time that suits you and so work it around any other diary events. You could also keep going if on holiday as long as you have 4G or WiFi and an appropriate space .... I had a wee holiday break as no phone signal and was camping!

“I took the free 3 day challenge which encouraged me to try the 9week plan. I loved it! I found it easy to follow; nothing is overwhelming or too difficult, but you really feel you are making progress. I definitely feel less stiff, stronger and fitter so I’ve just signed up for the one year plan. It’s understandable to feel sceptical about online offers, as I was, but this is real - it does not feel money grabbing; the quality of Emma’s instruction and support is excellent. Thank you Good Nickð_x009f__x0091__x008d_”
“I hate exercise! But I have actually enjoyed doing the Goodnick programme. It starts really gently but builds up to being quite challenging at the end. It has given me confidence to go for longer walks and I found my lower back pain got better very quickly due to strengthening other muscles.”
“This is an excellent programme. The teaching is well thought through, building challenges to body and commitment through a series of well balanced exercises, that change with each class, so never boring. The programme is tiered, so you can work at the lowest level to begin with and add in difficulty as it suits you, always with genuine encouragement. I am in my 70s, with two prosthetic hips, a dislike of exercise because I can always find something more interesting to be doing, but I have been astonished to find myself committed to these 3x20 minute classes, plus a stretch weekly, and consequently have found myself fitter, stronger and with better balance than for a very long time. Queries are dealt with promptly and alternative exercises offered if any prove beyond you at the time. I feel listened to, motivated by the daily chat within my group and have signed up to continue the classes. ð_x009f__x008d__x0083_”
“I had reached 62 yrs old, then realised that, if I wanted to carry on enjoying life to the fullest, I had to get fitter. I was out of breath just going upstairs! I saw the Goodnick 3 day challenge, and thought I’d give it a go. I enjoyed it and found it easy, so I joined the 9 week course. I then surprised myself when I stuck to the weekly sessions, as I hadn’t been able to commit to exercise for decades! I’m just starting my ninth week and feel fitter and more able to enjoy everyday activities and my job. I can also feel the benefits to my mental health, which is a big plus. As it’s all done at home, I don’t need to buy gym clothes, travel anywhere or turn up at a particular time, I just exercise in my comfy PJs ð_x009f__x0098__x0082_ thank you Goodnick”
“I was unsure how suitable this programme would be for a 'mature' person but it shows variations for all levels of fitness. The upbeat approach of the trainer is encouraging and I felt inspired to keep going, even when the going got tough. I am now going to continue the programme as, for me, accountability is necessary for success. I would recommend dipping your toe in, even if only for the first 9 week programme to see if it is suitable for your own needs.”
“The programme starts gently and gradually increases in a varied and non boring way. Because of the variety and the shortness of the sessions they are easy to fit into your routine. After 9 weeks I can really feel the difference and have signed up for the next programme. Others have noticed the difference too and I feel stronger.”
“I am really enjoying this exercise programme for over 60s women. It can initially seem quite simple but it is well structured and progresses well. I look forward to Emma's classes and the variety keeps my interest. I'd certainly recommend giving it a go.”
“I started the Good Nick 9 week programme with some initial anxiety after trying several other online exercise apps which unfortunately didn’t work for me as an older woman with some joint and neck issues .Im now almost at the end of the 9 weeks and feeling the positive benefits both physically and mentally, my body is stronger, my balance and flexibility improving and I have more energy .GoodNick is a supportive programme with a sense of community, sharing and celebrating individual progress.It feels tailored to women of my age who want to stay fit and healthy and continue to enjoy life to the fullest.”
“Really enjoyable, flexible online programme. Feeling stronger already after only 11 weeks. Can highly recommend.”
“Great service and platform. Signed my mum up and has been using multiple times a week. Now moves more and feels better”
“I watched the master class twice. I would very like to join But I need to know the price first. OAP concern. Thank you. Very much.”
“It’s a 3 day video session for over 50s after which you pay if you want to continue, I didn’t want to continue but I did enjoy it”
“Very enjoyable and doable exercises. I'm feeling stronger.”
“Great fitness exercise regime”
