As a Great Britain Athlete & World Champion Kickboxer, I use my passion and motivation to deliver varied and progressive training plans to clients with goals ranging from weight loss to performance enhancement. My mission is to empower my clients to feel and look their best.
Fitness has always been part of my life from being an athlete to working successfully in the gym as a personal trainer for 10 plus years. I have learned many things during my own fitness journey, but perhaps the most important is just how crucial it is to receive consistent, high-quality support and motivation. I understand how people at all levels of fitness can lose heart, become demotivated, and find their progress plateau. I am here to provide friendly yet highly effective coaching to help you to achieve your personal fitness goals and I will be with you every step of the way.

I have experience training anxious clients, and clients with a range of mental health conditions, and although I will ensure you are challenged and motivated in your training sessions, I will do my best to make you feel at ease without any judgement.
