‘Callie’s classes were just what I needed post baby, physically and mentally. A great whole body work out as well as a place to meet and interact with other mums. Thoroughly recommend, both me and my daughter always loved our class days!’ mums & babies review

‘'I still had diastasis recti 14 months after my second child and i was worried that i had left it too late to repair. Callie guided me through a series of exercises. 6 weeks later- I am noticing a huge difference and feel so much better about it. Thank you Callie! I am so pleased, I can’t recommend her enough’ female, 35

'Callie’s classes are such a lovely, gentle way to get back into exercise postpartum. The atmosphere is always warm and welcoming, and Callie offers plenty of options for all the movements so you can really go at your own pace. It’s a great way to connect with other mums too, and to bond with baby by involving them in the exercises! I’d really recommend giving the classes a go if you’re looking for something fun to do with baby while getting a workout in at the same time’ Mum & Baby class review

’I have been attending Callie's classes for a while now. Its always a bit daunting joining an established group but I was made to feel so welcome from day 1. She makes sure to support all levels by encouraging you to do your best and helps you get there with great support and encouragement. Callie is very approachable and you can ask her anything, her knowledge base is great to tap into for a beginner or an expert. I attend 3 classes a week and what I have gotten out of it is well worth the time cost and effort. Even if you're not sure, honestly try 1 class, you'll soon be itching to do more and you will be made to feel so comfortable whatever your fitness level may be. Would love to say so much more but its best if you just came along and spoke to the group, you'll soon find your feet and you'll be a regular in no time :)' Male 33

I attend Callie’s classes and I do personal training with her. Her classes are welcoming and suit all fitness levels. Callie is a lovely person who makes you feel completely at ease. I had never done any exercise except walking when I met Callie and now I am so confident in health and fitness. Callies classes and PT have helped my mental health and my Asthma has improved by a massive amount. The studio is beautiful, bright and professional with lots of different equipment to suit everyone’s needs. 🌟 Female, 29

'Callie holds and creates an amazing space for getting in shape and being social. When I first moved to Gala it was a great way to be active and meet new people, when I became pregnant Callie helped me personalise and adapt the exercise so I could continue being active and staying healthy up to my due date. The strength helped me have a really positive pregnancy, and now me and our daughter are loving her mommy and baby classes! I would really recommend her classes to anyone at any level of fitness, she gives you the support to adapt the experience to your needs plus they are fun' Female 38

'Callie’s classes are great! I would definitely recommend her classes to everyone. I was quite nervous at my first class but I felt like I fit in straight away I have noticed my confidence has gotten much better after Callie’s help and guidance in class. Having such a nice environment of people also helps me feel comfortable in a judgement free environment!' Female 21

''Ive been going to Callie's classes for over 7 years now and I cannot recommend them more. Callie is great at challenging you depending on where you are on your fitness journey - whether you are looking to up your fitness considerably or take things at a slower pace (like if you're pregnant!). Callie will meet you where you are and work with you, without scaring you off! The classes are also filled with a lovely bunch of people all at different fitness levels. It's a great, friendly atmosphere. Thanks, Callie!' Female 34

'Before speaking with Callie I had hit a brick wall with regards to my training and my diet. I couldn't work out why I was losing no weight despite working out for almost 10 hours a week in the gym. Psychologically this was so tough to take. I was banging my bed against a wall. I was convinced something was wrong with me.

After moaning to someone at the gym about my predicament they recommended that Callie would be able to help and point me in the right direction. So I emailed Callie and she responded and asked me a few questions and quickly worked out that I was A) over training and b) eating the wrong foods and not eating as regularly as I should. After consultation, discussions, questions and answers, Callie gave me a comprehensive diet and exercise plan. I have been following it for six weeks now. It really has made a difference. Not only have I lost weight - and everyone says I have - but I also feel fitter and healthier. My state of mind is far more positive than it was before Callie gave me these plans. I'm eating foods I had never thought about eating before. My gym work is far more varied and more interesting.

Callie's comprehensive plans are superb. But not only that, Callie is also a lovely person to deal with. She answers my emails very quickly, and has always been happy to offer her time and advice whenever I have needed it.

All in all it's excellent value for money: in fact, a complete bargain. I can't speak highly enough of Callie and the work she did for me'- Male, 40

'I can’t recommend Callie’s classes enough. I was really unsure I could be part of a class but the group of people there are super friendly and welcoming. After the first class I never looked back. Go at your own pace but most of all - enjoy what you’re doing. Love her classes' Female 56

'Callie’s classes have been a haven for me as a newcomer to the Borders. What I gained in strength and stamina from exercise I have also gained in community. From stress-busting at boxercise to enjoying time with my son at her mums and babies class, I have benefited physically, mentally and socially. To attend Callie’s classes is to really value your overall health and well-being, and in return she will make you feel like a valued client through her tailored workouts and personal approach. I’d highly recommend going along to any of her classes, which are suitable for all levels and a safe space to be active.' Female 31

'Callie helped me in the crucial step of getting back to fitness after having my son via c section. She kindly encouraged me in both one to one pt sessions and a group class. I am so grateful to her for giving me the confidence I needed to get back to the gym and fly on my own!'

" I was very pleased with Blueberry Health specialist. Callie is very friendly and helpful and the advice she gave me has been very useful. I would highly recommend Callie if you were seeking food, health and dietary advice"- Female, 15

"I would like to highly recommend Blueberry. Callie's health plan was easy to follow because it was tailored made for myself. The plan was a great choice as it consisted of a variety of foods to eat everyday so I didn't get too much of the same thing. More importantly she included a lot of meals that I love but simply made them healthier, which was half the battle for me. It has made me actually look forward to my daily meals.

Other areas which I found a massive help were Callie's advice for food substitutes in particular fatty foods, help with foods that I crave; again replacing them with healthier but enjoyable alternatives. Nak'd bars.. youre in for a treat if you haven't had one..

Callie was also very easy to get in contact with for any silly question I had a long the way and she was more than happy to help. I would give her 10 out of 10 and highly recommend her", Male, 29

"Friendly, efficient service for good value. Callie went to good lengths to devise a tailored eating plan which has helped me out an awful lot and expanded my own knowledge about nutrition", Male, 27

After being told I have type 2 Diabetes, I left the doctors surgery with no information.

I contacted Blueberry Healths Specialist and with in a few days Callie had put a plan together for me. That put my mind at ease as I had no idea what I was allowed to eat. Many thanks to Blueberry Health Specialist, Female, 50

"Callie was always very encouraging patient with me in the gym and my results speak for themselves", Female, 66

"Thanks so much for being my personal trainer Callie, you have really pushed me and helped me become more confident...and FIT!!", Female, 27

Callie is very professional and actually cares about her clients.
She listens to your concerns and goals and works out very detailed and personal training and nutritional programmes for you.
Be ready to work hard as she is a hard task master but that's what you have her for.
Anyone considering having PT with Callie should go for it. Can't recommend her enough", Female, 40's.

"I had the great fortune in meeting Callie Johnston at a business meeting recently. I was obviously in the mood to make some changes to my fitness level and asked if I could have a fitness assessment. Callie was willing to come to my address and work within the space I have. She is very methodical and works through all the aspects of the body to find out where the areas that need work are. We have had 3 sessions so far in the last 3 weeks and I can already see a difference in both my strength and endurance. And also my determination to do something. Two days after each session I have been able to tell which muscles have been worked hard. The sessions are full of giggles and although she is very methodical, she is also very good at breaking things up so attention is kept high. I have been recommending her to my own clients and if you want to get fit and find out what your body can do and stop being a couch potato, then book a personal slot with her today. It really is money well spent. Thank you so much Callie, looking forward to working with you in 2016 and feeling and seeing the results!" Female, 50.

"Callie is the most motivating and inspirational personal trainer I have met. She was enthusiatic... (even when i was very much not) She knew how to get the best out of me with a smile on her face and lots of laughs. Thank you Callie". Female, 32.

Callie is a professional and caring trainer who helped me out in Queenstown to achieve my goals. She is the most approachable and wonderful girl with so much health and fitness knowledge. She really knows what she's talking about and is genuinely pleased to take the time to know you and help you to her best ability. I would recommend Callie to anyone who needed health/ fitness advice! She's awesome!", Female, 30.
