Welcome to Fit Around Life

My coaching will help you to reach your fitness goals, but I also want to help you take some much needed time for yourself. My flexible programmes are designed to work around your schedule and encourage you to take dedicated time out for you. As a mum of two running my own business, I'm fully aware of how difficult it can be to find space to focus on my own fitness and wellbeing...and fitness is my life!

Throughout my late teens and twenties, my life revolved around sports and fitness. I was a competitive rower for eight years, winning national titles, before taking up running and various fitness programmes. After ten years as a teacher and starting a family, I decided to turn my passion for fitness into a career and to qualify as a personal trainer.

I'm a fully-qualified gym instructor, personal trainer and nutritional advisor, based in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, and offer personal training services and a range of fitness classes to face-to-face and online clients. I specialise in women's fitness and am qualified to train mums throughout pregnancy and after giving birth. I'm also a weight management specialist and take much satisfaction from seeing the great results my clients achieve!

I recognise that most people don't have hours to spend training and preparing elaborate healthy meals (which, let's face it, often don't taste great). I also don't promote quick fixes or fad diets. My coaching approach will help you to adopt sustainable lifestyle changes that incorporate long-term fitness and nutrition that are tailored to your needs and schedule. We're seeking long-term solutions, so I won't stop you from indulging every so often (although I will encourage you to make up for it).

My aim is the same as yours: to lead a balanced and sustainable healthy lifestyle that delivers the results you want...and then maintains them!
