Ever since I can remember I’ve loved anything to do with fitness. I play quite a few team sports, including, basketball, volleyball and handball and I was fortunate enough in my late teens to play football at a professional level.

Always looking to improve my skills and gain more knowledge I am currently undertaking a course on exercise referral.

I am passionate about giving you a personalised service suited for your individual needs and daily routine, that is not only manageable but also energetic and fun.

I bring variety and personality to my sessions where you will feel safe and at ease. Adding my nutrition knowledge to your personal training sessions means that results happen faster and stay longer.

I believe in a balanced approach to health and fitness in which strength training is combined with balance, joint stability and core training. I look at the body and it’s movements as an integrated whole, and in doing so I can identify where weak links and muscle imbalances may exist; this important information lays the foundation for a balanced fitness regimen in which the individual needs of the client are taken into consideration.

My goal as a trainer is to provide a balanced approach to your fitness routine in a safe and supportive environment in which you will learn proper lifting technique. I believe that your workouts should not inhibit your daily lives, rather they should be enhanced by it; therefore I strive to educate my clients on how to keep their bodies safe while working out as well as in daily activities; thereby decreasing the risk for pain and injury.

I believe in the body’s ability to heal itself provided the right conditions – my goal is to help you create these conditions within your workout to tap into your body’s inherent ability to heal itself leading to an improved quality of life.
