Bio

I started working as a Personal Trainer 8 years ago, but before that I was the type of child that would take part in all of the school sports teams. I was never committed to one sport because I loved them all. For me, it's all about getting your body moving, learning a new skill and pushing your body beyond a limit you thought possible. That's why I found the gym so enjoyable, because you're not limited to one type of exercise and you can challenge yourself in a variety of ways. 

A few years into Personal Training, I wanted to develop my knowledge of strength training and its application to performance and so I graduated with my Masters in Strength and Conditioning. Since then I have become slightly obsessed with performance and learning how strength and conditioning can have an impact on sporting performance, especially towards female athletes. 


What Do I Do?

As well as being a Personal Trainer, I am a qualified yoga teacher, pre-natal specialist, post-natal specialist, and fitness writer. Running is my special area of interest when it comes to sport, and in-particular endurance, trail running, and fell running.

If I'm not running, writing or training I'm probably watching a food documentary and sipping earl grey tea.
