You are probably visiting to find out whether or not personal training, or more specifically, working with me as your personal trainer could be right for you. So, why not let me start off by telling you a little bit about the people who have chosen to work with me already…

 Most of them are women looking for help with weight loss. In addition, they are often looking for guidance on appropriate exercise during or after pregnancy and into and beyond the menopause. Men come to train with me too- some have been referred by their wives or partners and some have found me independently.  They are usually most interested in injury rehabilitation and staying strong into their later years.

 Before choosing to work with me, many of these people had not exercised for a number of years, some of them had never stepped foot in a gym and a handful had suffered bad experiences with fitness trainers in the past. For all of them, starting their journey was a little daunting.

 That said, they all began with a commitment to train with me between 1 and 3 times per week, depending on what they wanted to achieve. Some stayed for three months, some are now in their third year!

 Since they started, these people have gone on to try new recipes, learn how to lift weights, re-wear the clothes that didn’t fit them before, run half marathons, climb up and down the stairs without pain again, walk 100 kilometre challenges, prepare and recover from knee replacement surgery, have active and healthy pregnancies, reduce their back pain, embrace their post baby body, touch their toes again and grow leaps and bounds in confidence.

 My clients really are awesome. We try to find the fun and enjoyment in training and being active- whatever that means for each person. Some people enjoy lifting heavy, some enjoy hitting stuff, others like silly games. We laugh regularly and sometimes we even cry together- it’s all part of the journey!

I offer both studio based and mobile personal training, so you can choose what works best for you. 

 Personal training at the studio allows you to get away from it all and focus on yourself for the duration of your appointment. The studio is located at my home in Bridgetown, Totnes, where there is parking available. It is small but mighty, and is equipped with a carefully chosen selection of cardiovascular and strength training equipment that will ensure you really make the most out of your session. The studio personal training experience is also topped off with a few little luxuries like face towels and complimentary post workout snacks to ensure you leave feeling looked after.

 Mobile personal training is the perfect option if you lead a busy lifestyle and want to work out at a time and place that is convenient to you. I will travel to your home, office, or local park with all the equipment you need for your personal training session. You may be surprised at what you can achieve outside of a gym, using relatively simple pieces of kit! Mobile PT is about as bespoke as it gets- If you have ever struggled to fit exercise into your day, then it could be for you.

Because achieving your fitness goals depends on so much more than exercise alone, advice on improving your diet and lifestyle is  included as part of your personal training experience, if you require it.

Have you ever been confused about what to eat? You’re not alone. We can work together to agree an approach to nutrition that will help you to reach your goals and work for you in the long term. 

Lifestyle wise, we’ll dive into topics such as stress management and sleep optimisation. Ensuring that these elements of your lifestyle are looked after can have a really positive impact on your overall health, so we’ll give them the attention they deserve! 

Because recovery and relaxation is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle, I am pleased to offer sports massage therapy from my home in Bridgetown, Totnes, where there is parking available.    

Sports massage therapy could be great for you if you need help managing a past or present injury or a chronic musculoskeletal condition. Techniques used in sports massage therapy include sports and remedial massage, muscular release techniques and stretching exercises that release tension deep in the body WITHOUT being painful, leading to a firm sense of relief and wellbeing.  Rehabilitation and strengthening exercises can also be recommended to help prevent injury re-occurance, should you require them.  

 I am also qualified to treat pre and post natal women.  Pregnancy is a time where the body goes through some enormous changes physically and mentally. Massage therapy at this time can be helpful for pain relief, relaxation and general wellbeing. Post birth, treatment can be extremely helpful for healing and recovery, not to mention some much needed relaxation and mummy time!   

With so much misinformation floating around nowadays, it’s difficult to know where to start when it comes to improving your health and fitness. I hold a first class degree in sports and exercise science and have 8 years experience as a personal trainer. During my career, I have worked in some of the best facilities in London, alongside other experienced personal trainers, physiotherapists and nutritionists.

This has provided me with useful skills that have helped me achieve success with clients with a variety of goals including fat loss, strength improvement, injury rehabilitation and pre and post natal training. Furthermore, I have a passion for learning and am always seeking out new ways to help my clients, so you can be sure you are getting the very best care and advice.

For your peace of mind, I also hold an emergency first aid certificate and full public liability insurance.
