Trainer Interview #2

Why did you become a personal trainer?
I wanted to help people achieve their health and fitness goals and make them feel like they can achieve anything when they stay focussed.

What do you love about working with Revolution?
I get to work with other trainers who offer many different training specialities and work for a company that offers many different services to their clients to provide them with the ultimate health and fitness package.

What is your earliest memory of being active?
I remember at primary school, competing in athletics events like hurdles and 50m sprint. I really enjoyed that sort of exercise.

What is your favourite exercise?

I’m really enjoying reformer Pilates at the moment, but I do enjoy my boxing still.

What is your favourite piece of equipment?
The medicine ball, it is very versatile.

Where is your favourite place to work out?
Down by the beach, a run and then some exercises on the beach.

What is your training philosophy?
To train hard all the time (not just with your personal trainer), stay focussed on your goals and combine your diet and exercise to achieve your health and fitness goals sooner.

How do you unwind after a long days work?
I enjoy reading a book or enjoying a meal with friends (sometimes a glass of wine too).

If you weren’t a personal trainer, what would you be?
I would probably work in pharmacy still, or as a rep.

What training styles do you specialise in?

I specialise in cardio boxing, weight loss, and pre & post natal training.

Myth Busters #29 - I'm not overweight, so I don't need to exercise.

The benefits of regular exercise have been proven to go far beyond just weight loss. Performing regular bouts of exercise can help to increase muscle and bone strength, helping you to perform essential everyday tasks with a lot more ease, and reducing the risk of obtaining an injury, as well as delaying the onset of muscle and bone degeneration later in life. There are also important reductions in the likelihood of developing heart disease & diabetes. The benefits are not just physical either; regular exercise can improve sleep patterns and increase self esteem and psychological wellbeing.
