A little about me.....I was born in 1981....I started training when I was 17, running for 10 minutes and doing 10 crunches and attempting press ups morning and night 😂. We all have to start somewhere!
This turned into 2 hour sessions in the gym, 6 days a week! (This was good at the time, but through years of experience, you don't need to train for this length of time!)
I ran a marathon, numerous half marathons across Europe and then I found my love of obstacle races and mud, and now HYROX.
After friends asking me to write circuits and train with them, I realised my passion. I wanted to share my experiences and help other like minded people get the body they deserve.
I have a 8 year old and a 5 year old. Since having my first baby I completed my pre and post natal fitness instructors course. I realised how important it is to know what exercises are safe to do during and after pregnancy. This also helps me have the knowledge to train clients. Whether this may be helping to prepare your body for child birth or post baby to strengthen your core and pelvic floor muscles, or to help with Diastasis recti. Knowing what exercise is safe to do when pregnant and then post pregnancy is so important.
As well as being a personal trainer I also work part time so I fully understand how having a busy life, whether with a family or work, can be hard to find time to exercise and eat correctly.
I want to be able to share my experiences and keep it realistic!

I am now in my 40's and seeing the hormonal shift, body changes. This is now the next challenge. Strength training is so important as we get older. Our bodies change and it's harder for men and women to build muscle and sustain it. I have been through the highs and lows and now fortunately have seen the benefits, having to change my diet and training.
