About Me
<<<< 2013 vs 2024 >>>>
About Me:
I am a 29 year old mum of two girls and I began my fitness journey in 2017 with no idea of what I was doing! After having my second daughter, I was overweight with no confidence and no idea where to start and I went through a very unhealthy phase of having a negative relationship with my food.
I began going to an Aquafit class weekly which eventually led me to braving exercise classes on land! I began with circuits and the instructor made me feel very welcome and encouraged me to try other classes such as spin (not for me!) then body pump and tabata (a mixture of strength training with weights and cardio) which I loved!
I did non-stop research on weight training and put training plans together for myself to follow and I braved going into the gym on my own. I was mezmorised by muscular ladies online and I wanted muscles like that but I was still stuck with unhealthy habits and I began over training. I would go to the gym every day plus do exercise classes, making me go twice a day some days! I was completely burnt out and went from one extreme to the other – overweight to underweight.
In 2020 I met my soul mate who has helped me reach where I am today. Being with a partner who supported me, encouraged me and gave me confidence changed my life and he too loves weight training. Steve taught me how to weight train properly and I have been hooked ever since.
In 2021 I studied and qualified as a Personal Trainer and have loved every second of it.
I have dedicated myself to eating nutritious food, training hard, reaching my goals and am now helping others to do the same.
In 2021 I became Manger at The Movement Gym.
In 2022 I qualified in nutrition and health.
In 2025 I qualified in GP Exercise Referral and now, I am studying specialist L4 Diabetes & Obesity management followed by L4 Lower back pain – I aim to qualify in both specialist fields by summer 2025.
My Family
I am very lucky to have a family of four of which I adore.
My other half, Steve is the most amazing and supportive partner I could wish for and we have two beautiful daughters called Beau and Orla.
We also have two crazy cocker spaniels called Lady and Harvey – plus a hamster called Rolo!
