My story:
I am lucky enough that my passion has developed over the years into a career. During university, I realised I wanted to help the general public get active. After volunteering at Exercise Referral during my summer holidays I knew what to aim for. By helping people via exercise, I can treat physical, mental and emotional problems that each individual faces. After university, I began working as a Personal Trainer within Jersey and have never looked back. It was the best decision I have made and every year I develop my learning via courses to keep my knowledge up to date, develop my learning and provide more diverse training sessions. Every day is a learning day as a variety of clients, barriers and challenges come through the door. Each client gets my full attention, efforts and commitment to help achieve their goals.
Every year I make sure to challenge myself physically by raising money for local charities whether that be half marathon, Jersey triathlon, North Coast Challenge in Firefighter uniform and more recently cycling Geneva to Nice for Macmillan. I love to help others and if I can do that whilst being active and raising money I cannot think of better way to spend my time.
More recently, I have made it my focus to introduce Cancer Rehabilitation on the island as this should be a compulsory part of patients’ rehabilitation, to help both mentally and physically. Every year I believe I am getting one step closer to achieving this and I will not stop until I have. Imagine trying to get back into exercise after a traumatic event and not know what to do or not do which is why I am here to help. My inspiration is always my aunt who fought each day, the least I can do is fight for these classes to be offered to all and help every cancer patient.
Whilst focusing on rehabilitation it does not stop me from putting clients through their paces as when there is no medical issues means I can really push clients in order to get the best out of them and achieve their goals.
I want to help you get there so let me help you!
