I expect the an important question is “why choose me”, I’m not the average buff 20-something PT. I’ll start with a brief explanation of why I became a Personal Trainer in the first place.

I have always enjoyed exercise and was fit and healthy, exercising 6 days a week. My workouts were predominantly HIIT and interval training with plyometric movements. In 2012 I broke a bone in my foot and was out of action for 8 weeks, the first time in many years I was completely sedatory for a long period of time. When I returned to training, I was not aware of the need to regress my workout programme and rebuild lost muscle mass. As a result I kept injuring myself (and continuing to workout with injuries believing stretching would ease the pain). I had physio sessions and attempted to continue working out at the level I knew. I then broke a toe on the opposite foot and was again out of action for 6 weeks. When I started exercising again I realised I needed the guidance of a professional PT. The first PT I hired was young & fit and did not appear to understand that my injured, older body was not capable of full range movement (I injured myself in the session trying to do a full squat which, in my condition, I was clearly not capable of). Exasperated, I looked into learning Personal Training for myself, enrolled in the full-time Personal Trainer Diploma (which included qualifications for Gym Instructor and Nutrition), this was one of the smartest decision I ever made for my health & fitness). That is not to say that it has been a simple mountain to climb, there are bumps in the road, set backs (mental or physical), injuries, days when motivation takes a holiday but the key to success is to never give up, even if you’re moving like a snail in peanut butter, you are still moving.

I will work with you to achieve your goals, offering support and motivation. We will work together to find routines that you enjoy. To be there to encourage you when you need motivation and understanding when you hit a bump in the road. Whether you need to be pushed or need someone gently encouraging you. The goal is to help you achieve a level of fitness that will improve your overall physical, mental and emotional Wellbeing. To Be the Best Human Being You can Be.
