I’m not your average Personal Trainer who has been born and bred into a fitness lifestyle and who has always been fit and healthy, far from it in fact. I was very overweight as a child and this got worse and worse throughout my school and college years.
Just before I left college I weighed over 20 stone!! I decided enough was enough and so joined a small gym in Henfield. I loved the gym immediately and would often bunk off college in favour of the gym, as my fitness and knowledge grew I decided I loved the gym so much I wanted to work in one, I lost 5 stone by this time through sensible eating and regular exercise. So when you come to me for help you can be assured that I know what im talking about as I don’t just have very high standard qualifications, I have real life results.
I live in Burgess Hill and am engaged to be married, I have lived in Sussex all my life and never intend on living anywhere else. I love where I live and I love my job. I have a huge desire to help people achieve their results, I can be quite hard on people at times but find it’s for the best as a lot of people have got into such bad habbits that its severely affecting their quality of life, and there’s just no need for it.
The fact is getting fit, losing weight, toning up and increasing your strength and flexibility, no matter what your goals are, will improve every aspect of your life and can be so very simple. I realized this along time ago when I got into fitness and weight training. I have achieved my results in a safe and effective manner which I know means I will always have exercise as part of my life now.
My favourite type of exercise is weight training, indoor rowing, and kickboxing. I keep my training as varied as possible as the body has so many functions that it will only improve in each aspect with a varied training program.
Outside of the gym I love going to the cinema and try to go as often as possible, usually once or twice a week. I also love Subaru Imprezas, I am a member of the local Subaru club and the surrey club, and no I’m not a boy racer, I don’t own a nova or corsa so don’t even say it :o)
