Sessions on offer include circuit training, aerobics and 'boot camp' and 'core strength conditioning'.

Nikki has helped celebrities like Robbie Williams and Liam Gallagher get into shape. Denise Van Outen and tha Appleton sisters are among her clients too.

In January the Governement's Chief Medical Officer, Sir Liam Donaldson warned of an 'obesity timebomb'. He pointed to research which says six out of ten people will be obese by 2050 and nearly one in five children aged 2 to 15 already are fat.

The internet classes are strategically planned with energising early morning sessions offered alongside longer sessions available for lunch hour and tea-time users.
