I have trained with Hollywood Stars, Professional Athletes and World Leading Entrepreneurs. At sixteen I won my first individual national competition and became the youngest (and shortest) athlete to be accepted into Sweden’s Olympic rowing team. At 18 I competed for Sweden at the Sydney 2000 Olympics.

Subsequently, I suffered a tragic career ending injury, which formed the foundation to my new passion in life: helping others to achieve their dreams through fitness and a healthy living. With a lifetime of knowledge in nutrition coupled with my experiences gained from training under an Olympic coach and extensive studying, I can offer an excellent service.

Session description:

Our new training method includes various training methods such as, Olympic lifting, Kettlebells, Boxing, Animal flow, Tabata, Yoga, HIIT intervals, Mobility and Flexibility. The way the workouts and classes are structured will get you fitter and stronger faster, no more wasting time training for long duration without results. Training with me is always fun, innovative and effective, no sessions resembles the other.

Qualifications:

For the past 11 years I have been a fully qualified Personal Trainer and Sports Massage Therapist and work with a wide range of male and female clients, of all ages and abilities, in Kent, London and the South East. I formed my company, Valkyrie (based on a strong, female figure in Norse Mythology) at the beginning of 2014 to continue helping my clients achieve their personal goals.

I offer a wide variety of training, from body weight to kettle bell training and weight lifting. Sessions can be arranged at your home, place of work or a local park, which offers both convenience and flexibility.

Session description:

Valkyrie offers an alternative way to train and achieve tangible results. Most of us would like to tone up, get fit or lose weight, but often it is too easy to find excuses not to do something, rather than find reasons to achieve those goals. I can relate to many of my clients because I have been in a similar situation and I have found a way to overcome those doubts and reach my own personal goals. There are no quick fixes but there are ways to achieve your goals.

Since I was young I was always into ‘moving’ whether it be swimming, running or climbing trees. After growing up a bit my passion for fitness, health and movement has developed and I now enjoy a number of sports alongside my training. Climbing is a huge love of mine and I boulder/climb regularly indoors and outdoors as much as possible. Sticking with the mountain theme, skiing is another passion of mine which grew even more whilst working as a chalet chef/ski guide in the French Alps.

I started professionally within the health and fitness field by studying for a degree in Sport and Exercise Science. Following this I worked in a gym which gave me a good insight into the industry and the pitfalls of trying to lose weight in a gym (the lack of information-particularly on nutrition, the unnecessary equipment not to mention the time taken to get to the gym). I believe personal training to be one of the most effective ways of achieving real long term results. Through the knowledge I have gained and my continual learning I strive to achieve better fat loss and fitness results for my clients. Along with this, I am a member of REPS.

Session description:

Training sessions will involve a variety of equipment such as kettlebells, TRX, gymnastic rings, sandbags, paralettes, medicine balls and dumbells. Your training sessions are tailored specifically to your requirements yet will be varied and fun.

I also bring speakers to your session so you can workout to whatever’s on your ipod!

Sessions will be: focused on you and the outcome of results, varied, intense, progressive.

Sessions will not be: boring, a walk in the park, me barking orders at you, about me.

Long term sustainable habit change to achieve results that you can maintain.

Qualifications:

Precision Nutrition Certification Level 1 (Nutrition theory and coaching)
Advanced Diploma in Health and Wellbeing Physiology
Level 3 Personal Trainer- Nutrition and Weight Management
Full Public Liability Insurance
Currently studying- Precision Nutrition Level 2 Master Coach
