About me
I've always led an active lifestyle but after gaining weight in my 20s I decided to join my local gym and get myself into shape. It didn’t take long for the fitness bug to bite and I have not looked back since then!
As I was spending most of my spare time at the gym, I decided to turn my passion into a career and study the Level 2 Gym Instructor qualification. Not long after passing my exams, I began working the gym floor at evenings and weekends as a Fitness Motivator.
It wasn’t long before my attention turned to the Fitness Studio. I gained further qualifications, which enabled me to teach group classes such as Indoor Cycling, Core Stability and Circuits. From the moment I took my first class, I knew my future would be dedicated to teaching fitness. Being at the front of the studio was a real adrenaline rush and having the clients approach me at the end of a class, expressing their thanks and saying how much they enjoyed the music and the session gave me a genuine sense of achievement. I continue to teach group classes to this day and I still enjoy that same buzz!
My main ambition was always to motivate people reach their goals on a personal level. The progression from Level 2 to the Level 3 PT qualification was subsequently made; which gave me the tools to develop progressive client training programs and advise the benefits of combining nutrition with exercise.
Having the responsibility of helping a person make significant changes to their lifestyle, diet and the way they train is an exciting one – and seeing that individual progress and reaching a higher level of fitness is the best reward.
I made the change. With my help and motivation, you can too!
