Looks impressive, but took everything I had to get that leg up there, and try to look as if it was easy (It wasn’t!)

I give you the tools and show you how easy it can be to achieve your goals and maintain a balanced and healthy lifestyle in a fun and sustainable way.

With a variety of in-person and online personal training, weight loss, and well-being programs courses and classes, I can personalise everything you need for success within your own personal time constraints and budget.

My Ethos

Firstly age is just a number, so don’t tell me you’re too old to start anything!

MSecondly my balance and co ordination are shocking. Remembering a sequence of movements and my spacial awareness verges on the hilarious. I was diagnosed as having a developmental coordination disorder(DCD) Commonly called Dyspraxia. (I have a dyspraxia, so if anyone feels nervous, I can very quickly put you at ease.

Like most people, I can also need help with juggling too many things at once and keeping things balanced.

This is where I’m sincere and don’t pretend that I’m perfect (I’m far from it, by the way). There is no such thing as perfect!

I donʼt believe in extreme diets, excessive amounts of exercise, or obsessive approaches to health and fitness that are not sustainable and damaging in the long term! I believe in honesty, empathy and compassion in all that I do.

Combined with my many years of experience and training, I will work with you to achieve YOUR desired goals AND long lasting results!


 

Here’s What My Clients Have to Say

 
 

How it all started!

After many years of intensive ballet, I decided to also head down the competitive athletics route.

I loved ballet and the buzz of the track but in the back on my mind I felt that although I was physically able, my heart and mind struggled with having to concentrate only on myself. I spent more and more time looking after everyone else to the detriment of my training.

This was repeatedly confirmed by my teachers and coaches who were all convinced that my talent was in coaching and teaching others. In many ways, not getting to the top in competitive sport and dance has given me an edge when it comes to training others. Having aimed for the top and failing, it has given me an understanding that everyone has different goals and levels of commitment. If you have made it to the top in can be very difficult to understand that not everyone has the same mindset and determination as you. In order to get to the top in any competitive situation, you have to be single minded, and determined to win whatever the cost. Thankfully, I was lucky enough to be guided by some incredible people who gave me the confidence to go down the right path!

I was very lucky to win an apprenticeship with one of the best sport development departments in the UK at the age of 19. After 4 years of training and intensive coaching, I moved on to teach and examine fitness coaches and personal trainers before setting up my own company.

Since then I’ve worked internationally in the corporate health and fitness world, as well as trained celebrities, sports personalities and large corporate groups. I’ve appeared frequently in the media all across the world, helped develop video fitness games, written fitness books and lectured at numerous events. I’m also a fitness brand ambassador for some of the world’s leading companies and write and comment regularly for many for health and fitness publications.

What Next?

Due to the increased popularity of online training, I’m very excited to be expanding my online work. Now we are able to access some of the best trainers in the world at the click of a button.

Training clients online has surprised and delighted me in so many ways. I have found it to be so much easier for clients to fit in sessions and the work I set outside of the training sessions.

Being able to video homework tasks has been a revelation in client commitment and results!
