I first met Christine around 2000 when friends from work persuaded me to join the Belvedere Rosemary Conley class. I was so nervous, but Christine was welcoming and supportive, and I was soon a regular, losing 3 stone in 6 months. Over the years I’ve followed Christine and her class to Eaglefield School (no heating, exercising in scarves, gloves and hats) Brampton, and finally when I retired I joined her again at Freemantle. Christine had the ability to inspire and encourage us while making classes fun, especially when we were trying to learn a new routine and she would cry “all together one at a time”. Christine you made a huge difference to my life, I will miss you.
