About Me

My former career as a professional dancer began after I studied for 3 Years at The Laban Centre gaining a Diploma in Dance Theatre. I was then awarded a place on The Laban Centres Advanced Performance Course, more commonly known as “Transitions Dance Company”. Apon leaving Transitions Dance Company I continued to work throughout Europe and Asia as a professional dancer for a number of well-respected and internationally recognised Directors and independent artists.

My interest in sport, fitness and human biology lead me to first becoming qualified as a Gym Instructor as a fill in between dance contracts and from there my passion for working within the fitness industry started to grow and I worked to attain a greater and deeper knowledge with in my new career. I cut my teeth as a Personal Trainer working in the corporate fitness scene in the city and worked to achieve a substantial and varied client base that saw celebrities, bankers, artists and company directors. 

My work as a personal trainer has been based in Bedford since 2004 and since then I have strived to develop my business and myself as fitness professional. I continue to enjoy managing a vibrant, energetic and enthusiastic (most of the time!) client base in Bedfordshire and relish the opportunity to apply and develop my skills with each new client.

As part of my dedication to providing the very best in personal training and group fitness I mentor newly qualified personal trainers who then continue to work alongside me. We pride ourselves in the high professional standards and no nonsense forward thinking approach we have to fitness training.

All our Trainers are REPs registered and fully insured.

Argue your limitations and sure enough they will be yours.
