In 2016 I took voluntary redundancy from the Civil Service as I knew I needed to do something completely different to working in an office. This gave me time to think about what I wanted to do and I realised that I wanted to work with people to become fitter and healthier, it felt like a good fit for me.
So, I qualified in 2016 and have not looked back, I have now been working as a PT for over 8 years. I have gained in confidence over this time and have learnt how to get the best out of each individual I work with.
I have always enjoyed being active and playing sports. I believe that through exercise you can improve how you feel and I think that the mental benefits of keeping active are really important.
If I have had a tough day and feel tired before a workout I know that after exercise I will be in a much better mood with more energy. The difficult part is getting motivated to exercise if you are feeling low, tired or stressed. This is when working with a personal trainer can really help.
