ABOUT ME

My passion for wellness and all things fitness related perhaps stems from growing up in sunny KwaZulu Natal, South Africa where I was involved in surfing and competitive surf lifesaving from a young age.

Later, this innate love for physical activity and competition carried over to Chinese martial arts in high school where I would learn to incorporate and apply a more internal philosophy to my training. This has had a profound and lasting impact on how I approach training not only a physical point of view but also from a mental perspective.

After sustaining several competition related injuries, I was introduced to the gym environment by my physiotherapist for rehabilitation purposes. I developed a particular affinity for resistance training and anything strength based which ultimately served as the catalyst leading to my chosen career path as a trainer.

Working privately as a PT and for larger commercial club chains over the years such as Virgin Active and more recently as a trainer using Miha EMS (Electro-Myo Stimulation) technology at BODTEC SA has been a tremendous journey of personal growth over the span of over a decade in an ever-changing wellness industry.

ABOUT ME

Having originally developed my passion for fitness & training as a result of competing in athletics
at age 13, I initially qualified to teach fitness with Level 2 Exercise to Music back in 1987. Inspired
by the difference exercise was making to my class members, I quickly undertook numerous other
courses to enhance my knowledge around health, fitness and training and established a
successful personal training business.

I qualified to teach Les Mills BODYPUMP™ and BODYCOMBAT™ in 1998, and was then
selected to join the FitPro National UK training team in 2000 delivering various fitness courses and
workshops to fitness instructors/personal trainers around the UK and internationally. During this
time I became a Master Trainer for Les Mills International and was fortunate to present training
courses, workshops and master-classes all around the world.

Having helped develop, launch and coach various fitness programmes in the UK I was shortly
after invited to become the National Training Manager & Head Trainer for FitPro in the UK,
recruiting, training & developing a team of 64 presenters, trainers & assessors, and overseeing the
quality of training delivery nationally.

I continued in a similar role from 2012 working directly for Les Mills International, whilst continuing
to deliver training courses and presenting. Transferring my training knowledge across to the
commercial side of the business I then spent 5 years working as a customer experience manager/
national account manager working to support the UK national fitness club chains in managing
group fitness programming and improving its delivery to club members.

In 2020 I took the decision to utilise the 20+ years knowledge & experience of training instructors
to help non-fitness professionals achieve their individual health & fitness goals by refocusing on
personal training whilst also continuing to support my sons local junior football club with strength
& conditioning sessions.

I’m now happy to be able to offer this service to Thongsbridge members and look forward to
helping you to achieve your personal fitness goals.

ABOUT ME

I started my education at Woodhouse Primary School going on to Rastrick High School, followed by Rastrick sixth form college. I then went to university in Bolton, Lancashire where I studied Sports Rehabilitation. From this not only did I gain a qualification but also gathered a lot of experience in the field of sports massage.

During my time at university I was given the opportunity to visit different sporting venues whilst attending work placement; venues such as Wigan Warriors RLFC, Leigh Centurions RLFC, Rochdale FC and Stoke City FC. These placements allowed me to receive first-hand experience working with both professional and international athletes.

Since graduating I started my working life by offering a mobile massage service, which has helped me build up a good clientele base. Now that my business has grown, I am now in a position to expand and have recently agreed to join the team at Thongsbridge Tennis Club. With over 6 years experience I feel I have a lot to offer the members in the way of recovery treatments and sports massage.

Outside the world of sports massage I am a massive fan of Huddersfield Town. I have held a season ticket for over 15 years. I have a love of music and in my spare time I enjoy playing my guitar.
