Why did you get into the fitness industry?

I’ve always been into fitness, having a twin I think I was always a competitive person, and thought I would be a perfect fit for the PT life, 13 years on and I’m still just as excited as I was on the first day!

I couldn’t think of a better industry than to help people find their passion with health and fitness whilst being able to motivate and support people to achieve the goals-also, being available online gives me the ability and capacity to do this nationally and internationally. Not only that, I choose my own hours, running my own business is very exciting to me. I choose to my day at 4 am sometimes, and love it… but being finished by 10 am is so exciting… I have the ability to sunbake (if the weather is amazing) and do my own training, all before lunchtime, so “freedom” would be the summary! (it’s taken a long time to create this).
