When I was a teenager I battled with my weight. I was referred to the school nurse and had weekly dietician appointments. When I left school I was 16 stone (101 kgs). Although I wasn’t happy with my weight I never stopped doing what I wanted to do. I entered the fitness industry when I was sixteen and I worked my way up through the ranks. Here are some of the posts I have held in my career in Health & Fitness.
- Receptionist
- Sales Executive
- Fitness Instructor
- Aerobics Instructor
- Fitness Manager
- Studio Coordinator
- Personal Trainer
- PT Coordinator
- Director of Fitness
I studied Body, Swedish and Sports Massage and then became the 23rd person in the UK to go through the FASTER Health and Fitness Functional Training Diploma. I am now working with the company mentoring trainers through the course, teaching Advanced Functional Training Workshops and writing my own fitness workshops. In 2008 I started my own fitness company [Advanced Conditioning Equipment Ltd.] In 2009 I became a Fellow of Applied Functional Science (FAFS) at the Gray Institute, USA and I am now certified in Functional Manual Reaction (FRM).
During the last 9 years of study and practice I have taught group exercise to thousands of people all over the world. I worked on Cruise ships as Director of Fitness, teaching and training over two thousand passengers and more than a thousand staff while visiting the Caribbean, Mexico and South America.
I truly believe you can achieve anything and overcome any obstacle with the right mindset. I have a drive and focus that rages inside and I hope I’ll have the chance to motivate, educate and inspire you to achieve your fitness goals and reach a new level of vitality and wellbeing.
