Role

Personal Trainer and Group Fitness instructor

What type of training do you enjoy?

I particularly enjoy resistance training and playing team sport as my preferred ways of exercise. However, I do dabble in going for runs and take pride in making HIIT workouts; so if you decide to come along to one of my cardio sessions you’ll be sure to work a sweat up!

Why did you get into the fitness industry?

After 6+ years of resistance training and a lifetime of team sports, I have grown a love for all things health and fitness. I found myself researching health-related topics in my spare time and felt a desire to put my passion into a profession. I find great satisfaction in helping others and putting a smile on their faces which makes my work as a Personal Trainer super fulfilling!

What is your style of coaching?

As a coach I place a large emphasis on creating a healthy lifestyle with my clients, not just focusing on weights lifted, calories consumed or the scales. My training philosophy is rooted in the belief that consistency is key and that making the right decision 80% of the time is what is going to create a lifestyle of long-lasting results well beyond a “12-week program”. I help my clients navigate through the foundations of healthy habits, stress management and positive self-esteem, all while having fun and sharing a laugh together!

Favourite food?

I have the biggest sweet tooth and will eat anything desert related, so Ice-Cream or Chocolate would have to be my favourite.

Tell us something about yourself

I am sport obsessed and will talk to you about it for hours if given the chance. Literally any sport under the sun I have some sort of knowledge about so don’t be afraid to come up and start a conversation with me!

I also have an obscure hatred towards pumpkin, don’t know why but Mum has said that I’ve disliked it since birth. So despite the great nutritional content of pumpkin, you won’t see me recommending it to any of my clients haha!
