A Bit About Me
Exercise and fitness have always played a huge part of my life. From trying every sport I could as a child to swimming competitively from the age of 7 I have always been aware of what a positive impact exercise can have on life.
​
I started working in gyms at the age of 15 in a ladies only gym and from there I worked in large commercial gyms such as Hollins Hall and Cottingley Manor to then entering the world of corporate fitness running the wellbeing initiative at a national law firm.
​
After graduating from Sheffield Hallam University with a 2:1 in Sport and Exercise Science I took my knowledge and started personal training in Harrogate with my own business initially from an exclusive studio and then doing mobile work.
​
After the birth of my first daughter in 2010 it suddenly dawned on me I didn’t want to be travelling around the country, I wanted to be near her! She was my motivation to relocate my business to the village I lived in. I ran the business successfully from my studio in Harden for 9 years and as I consequence of the 2020 lockdown I have relocated the business to different premises, still in Harden but with the addition of much needed outside space.
​
I have always felt very fortunate in that I love my job and get such satisfaction in running my business. My aim is to inspire and motivate my clients to get active through a variety of different training methods. Each session is different including any of the following: -
​
- Running
- Cycling
- Rowing
- Boxing
- Weights
- Core strength work with the ball and bosu
- Powerplate
- Hiit sessions
- Meta fit
- Circuits
- Or maybe a bit each if I’m feeling mean!
Exercise is a great way of improving not only your physical health but also your mental health and what a great way to get active in such a beautiful setting.
