Why Personal Training?

Some people have been asking why I decided to quit my job in the current climate and set up my own Personal Training business. The truth is, I've been involved in the fitness industry in a casual capacity for about 10 years, but my line of work (event management) took me away from doing what I love. Making time to exercise started to become more and more difficult, and the exercise that I did do usually involved friends that were looking to get better at a particular activity eg running, so I felt I was letting them down. Not training makes me unhappy, so I decided to bite the bullet and do what I can to incorporate what I love into everyday life! I got myself qualified and insured, and I was good to go!

My motto is to incorporate something into your routine, whether that be daily routine or weekly routine. It has to be sustainable in order to see results. Not everyone has time to get to the gym 3 times a week. For me, I've always found the gym to be quite a solitary activity. I tend to enjoy classes and working out with a friend. It introduces another factor into the equation..."I'll be letting down my friend if I don't go." It takes a lot of self-motivation to get to the gym on your own. If you currently do that religiously - well done and keep up the good work!

My aim is for some of my passion for fitness to rub off on you. My aim is for exercising to be more fun than it has been before. My aim is to hide a boring exercise in a new movement that you didn't realise worked those muscles. My aim is to give you the tools to lead a healthy and happy life. All those things make me really happy, which in turn should make you happy, which is why I'm a Personal Trainer.

Happy exercising!
