I have been involved in health and fitness all my life, starting as a competitive swimmer at national level. I ran a swim school for 7 years teaching people of all ages. For the last 9 years I managed a CYQ centre where I taught a range of gym, exercise to music, personal training and nutrition courses. I also ran Pilates and fitness classes.
Before teaching full time I worked with some top flight football clubs including Arsenal, Leyton Orient and Fulham FC. With these clubs I taught a range of health and fitness and sport and recreation NVQ's and CSLA courses.
My first job in the fitness industry was as a duty manager of a Leisure Centre and it was whilst there I developed my passion for fitness. I taught aerobics, circuit training, box-a-cise and swimming as well as completing the fitness assessments for the gym. I also ran a healthy kids programme teaching trampolining, short tennis and fit kids.
I am delighted to be working in the local area, and look forward to meeting new people at my classes and personal training sessions.
