My life has been centred around movement and exercise ever since I was a kid.
I grew up playing as many sports as possible, with netball dominating my school years and lacrosse my university years. I knew that if I wanted to get better at these sports, I needed to be gym-fit.
As soon as I was allowed into a gym at 15 years old, I was straight in there. I spent countless hours reading articles and watching YouTube videos to piece together a (somewhat now questionable) program to work with to help me get fitter and stronger, in both mind and body.
It wasn’t until I was that bit older, when my own lifestyle had changed from a uni student with lots of spare time, to a sedentary office job worker, that I realised my gym training had to change with it. The generic prescriptions programs I found online weren't working for me anymore: how can a training program for a healthy 18-year old who plays sports 4x a week, be the same as someone in a sedentary office job, with only one hour to train? The short answer is that it can’t.
That’s when I decided to leave my office job and turn what was just a hobby, for my own personal training, into my career as a Personal Trainer.
