Meet your trainer...

Get fit, get in shape and get the body you want

I trained as a Personal Trainer through Northern Fitness & Education and I am registered with Fitness Professionals. I am qualified in many areas including weight management, client appraisal and fitness assessment, ante and post natal exercise, specialist populations exercise, core stability, Boxercise and Pilates.

I offer tailor made fitness programmes for a wide variety of individuals, young and old. Some of my clients choose to train multiple times per week, month, or have a check-in session once in a while to gauge their fitness, and I train in a wide variety of venues including homes, gardens, conservatories, garages, living rooms, beaches, parks - the list is endless.

I really enjoy the personal aspects of training and the individual requirements a client may have. I have worked with people from a variety of backgrounds and with vastly different needs, and I always thrive on a challenge, so whatever your needs dont hesitate to get in touch.

As well as my main work as a Personal Trainer I also teach group classes for major gym chains such as DW Fitness (formerly JJB) and Fitness First, and for major companies such as Sage. I have been featured in Now magazine, Mens Fitness, City Living (Newcastle), Weightwatchers online, and have appeared on ITV's "The Krypton Factor" and BBC's "Look North" - both with clients I trained at that time.

I enjoy cardiovascular workouts - running particularly, cycling, weight training, core conditioning work, medicine ball training, kettlebells, pilates and most things related to exercise. I'm also a keen Triathlete. My own personal fitness goals at present are to complete an olympic distance Triathlon in 2 hours 20 mins, deadlift 150kg 8 times, and complete a half marathon in 1 hour 30 mins (which I've just achieved at the 2011 Great north Run).

A full list of my qualifications is at the foot of this page. I look forward to being of service to you soon.
