What got me into fitness?

​

My fitness journey began with a desire to change my lifestyle. In 2010, I was living abroad, working as a holiday rep, and indulging in an unhealthy lifestyle filled with fast food and little exercise. At my heaviest, I realized I needed to take control of my health. A friend's comment about my weight became a turning point, pushing me to make a change.

​

In August 2013, I qualified as a personal trainer through Future Fit Training. This was the beginning of a new chapter, where I could share my passion for fitness and help others achieve their goals. My first role was at Archers Fitness in Hitchin, where I guided members in safe and effective use of gym equipment, created personalized exercise programs, and led a variety of fitness classes.

​

In 2014, I moved to West Sussex, continuing my work as a personal trainer and running local exercise classes. By May 2015, I joined Inspire as a gym instructor and personal trainer, further expanding my skills and experience.

​

Moving to Northland, New Zealand, in 2017, I continued my fitness career. Initially, I worked as a personal trainer at Snap Fitness in Whangarei, but balancing my professional and family life led me to transition to training clients from home. This shift provided me the flexibility to focus more on personalized coaching and expand my knowledge in menu and meal planning.

​

Today, I'm based at City Fitness in Whangarei, where I continue to help people get fitter and healthier. I've lost over 14 kgs (that's 14 bags of sugar!), and I understand the challenges of staying motivated and achieving fitness goals. Whether you're aiming for weight loss, general fitness, or preparing for an event like the New York marathon, I can help guide you on your journey.

​

Feel free to reach out via email, and let's see how I can assist you in achieving your fitness goals.
