I have been extremely lucky to find a career that I love!  

Since leaving school I have managed to escape the arduous business of sitting in an office, always with the excuse of fun and adventure - first I spent 3 months in Africa teaching children English, Maths and Sport before getting on my bicycle and biking the length of Britain with a friend for charity.

Australia was the next destination where I worked on a cattle station in the Northern Territory. I loved the way of life and people so much that over the past 4 years I have managed to return for varying periods of time. Most summers I have been home working for Kirtlington Park Polo Club. I love being back home in the summer, catching up with everyone and getting fully involved again with local life.  

I am aware that I have not followed a ‘conventional’ path and feel very lucky to I have been able to keep very busy, do a lot of travelling and a lot of exercise! All of which are very important to me.

Last summer I took to my bicycle again with a friend and peddled our way up the scenic route (2600km) from the south most tip of Norway to the northern tip - hard work but a beautiful country and very rewarding. Again raising money for charites very important to me.

 I now feel as if I have had enough adventure for a while and am looking forward to getting fully stuck into being the best personal trainer I can be. I have put a lot of hard work into getting the gym ready and can’t wait to see it being used.

For one on one Personal Training (PT), I will first spend a little while understanding what your goals are, and making an initial assessment. Once we have established where we are, and where we’re trying to get to, the rest I’ll break into bite sized chunks. I’ll give you a detailed programme including exercise routines, and diet goals if appropriate. We’ll meet and talk regularly to discuss your progress.

As you work towards your goals, perhaps you might like to have a try at the group sessions I run. We have great fun at these and it really helps you to get motivated, knowing that there are others with the same desires as you, needing the same motivation too!    

Good Luck!
