ABOUT ME

About Me

I qualified as a Personal Trainer in 2007, completing a comprehensive Personal Trainer qualification at Loughborough College.

Since then, my approach to health and fitness has continued to evolve. I offer a well-rounded approach focusing on strength, movement and flexibility, while also recognising the huge importance of mental wellbeing. I take into account your nervous system, lifestyle and overall health rather than simply focusing on what happens during your training session.

Having experienced and overcome cancer myself, I understand first-hand how life’s curveballs can affect us both mentally and physically. That experience has shaped the way I work today — looking beyond just exercise and supporting the whole person.

I particularly love working with people who have little or no experience in the gym, those who lack confidence, or simply don’t know what they should be doing or where to start.

You don’t need to be fit before you come to me, and you certainly don’t need to know your way around a gym. If you’re keen, positive and ready to make a change, I can help you with the rest.

For me, personal training isn’t just about taking someone through a workout. I want to pass on my knowledge, help you understand what you’re doing and why, and give you the confidence to believe in what your body is capable of. One of the things I love most about my job is watching people become stronger and more confident and, in the process, really start to grow into themselves.

I believe exercise should be enjoyable and approachable — something that adds to your life rather than another pressure you have to live up to. I’ll meet you where you are and help you progress from there.

Through Thanet Fitness, I offer one-to-one personal training, training with friends, small-group sessions, bootcamps and dedicated over-60s sessions, so there are different ways to train depending on what suits you best.

If you’re keen to get started but don’t know where to begin, I’d love to help you.
