IIn 2009 I graduated from Essex University with an Honors in Sports and Exercise Science which provided knowledge on human performance, training, coaching, healthy lifestyle, human biomechanics and the basics of sports injury prevention. Prior to my studies I trained and competed in County level Athletics and went on to compete for my University Teams, however unfortunately due to injury was forced to retire before my time. My interest and own experience with sporting injuries inspired me to study Physiotherapy at the University of East Anglia from which I am due to graduate in 2012. I have always had a keen interest in sports and believe in keeping exercise fun to maintain motivation. As a trainee Physiotherapist I aim to focus on injury prevention by improving overall strength and fitness alongside promoting weight loss. I currently hold qualifications in: - BSc (Hons) Sports & Exercise Science - International Diploma Sports Massage Therapy - First Aid

My interest in the health and fitness industry began following a particularly difficult time in my life. I had put on a lot of weight and as a result my health and wellbeing was beginning to suffer. I had always struggled with controlling food and dieting so I made the decision to join a gym and work with a personal trainer to see if this made the difference I so desperately needed in my life. It wasn't long before I noticed the changes to my fitness levels and my body shape! I decided that I would like to help other people realise the benefits of bringing exercise into their lives. I moved to Ipswich in 2004 and immediately enrolled on some courses that would help me to achieve this. I also became P.E co-ordinator in the school that I was teaching in, promoting health and fitness for children, running dance club and coaching football. After joining Grange Fitness as a member, I knew it was somewhere that I could learn more and develop my skills further. Since joining I have enjoyed courses in THUMP Boxing and use of Kettle Bells. I am now enrolled on my Level 3 Personal Training course, and continue to work towards this qualification. My aim is to support people through the changes they have decided to make and offer a friendly, understanding approach. I know from experience how difficult it can be to stay motivated, but I also know that anyone can achieve their goals if they have the self -belief and encouragement they need!
