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. My enthusiasm for sports and nutrition inevitably led me to a career in the fitness industry where I gained a few qualifications including level 3 personal trainer, and now train clients in Canada Water, London. Always looking to improve my skills and gain more knowledge I am currently undertaking a course on exercise referral.

I speak 3 languages fluently which are Hungarian, Italian and English and my next goal is to learn greek as well. I constantly challenge myself by taking part in charity runs. Not only does it help my physic but I specially find rewarding being able to give back to the community.

My focus is your goal and I’m here to help you achieve what you want, whether it is to get that bikini body you’ve always wanted, gain muscle mass, reduce body fat, run 5K or maybe 10K or simply improve your overall health. 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 will work extremely hard for you to come out of this process happier, healthier, more confident and above all, with your goal achieved!

Having grown up in Sydney, Australia I developed a natural love of swimming and open water. This was mainly due to having a Dad who had been a surf lifesaver at North Collaroy beach in his youth! I was inspired to take up triathlon when it became an Olympic sport in my home town of Sydney in 2000, and have enjoyed international racing and training for over a decade. I represented GB at age group World and European Championships 2003-2006, with peak performances in the same week to win ‘the double’ in Lausanne Switzerland, becoming ITU Aquathlon and Triathlon Champion.

Since 2007 I have continued to work full-time alongside the challenges of racing and training for long course triathlon, producing a top ten age-group finish at the World Championships in Kona Hawaii. I’ve consistently finished top ten overall in the female Pro ranks.

My coaching has developed from a part-time capacity in 2007 to full-time since 2010 as a BTF Level 3 qualified coach. I’ve enjoyed working with world class athletes and coaches throughout my decade in the sport, and developed a systematic, scientific and individual approach to coaching athletes of all abilities. I regularly write for triathlon and open water swimming publications such as 220Triathlon and H20pen magazines, and provide training courses, training days and camps for groups. My recent trip to Perth to complete the SwimSmooth certification provided a great opportunity to spend some long overdue time in the town I was born, Cottesloe!

Session description:

Use high definition video analysis and identify key areas to improve your stroke efficiency. These half day (4 hour) swim workshops are perfect for triathletes and open water swimmers to fine tune technique and improve speed efficiency.
