Hedgley Fit Personal Training

Let’s ignore my terrible selfie skills for a moment shall we?
I’d like to introduce you to Tina, one of the most inspirational people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting

Tina is a Buckinghamshire Community Champion who has won a Nation Hero Award, as well as being involved in numerous other community initiatives in and around Aylesbury. Born with Cerebral Palsy, life hasn’t always been the easiest for Tina, but that hasn’t stopped her from dedicating her time to helping others

I asked her if she wouldn’t mind me sharing a little of her story and our work together, and asked if she had anything she’d like to share, and this is what she said:

‘Don’t let anything get you down for too long, being disabled is a pain, but being alive is even better’

Unfortunately Tina had a fall not long ago that meant she couldn’t be as mobile as she wanted

Which is what prompted her to get in touch with me because, in her words, ‘something had to change’, and she didn’t want it to happen again

We’ve been working together for long enough that she had this to say about personal training -

‘You’re absolutely amazing and I couldn’t have done without you’

Training can sometimes feel intimidating, but it isn’t just about 6 packs and throwing around the heaviest weights possible in the gym

Personal training is about guiding you in ways that work with you,
To help you get stronger, manage pain, improve your balance and most importantly, be as independent for as long as possible

In Tina’s words: ‘Don’t be too proud, get it done and be proactive’

And if you feel a bit stuck, message me the word ‘proactive’ and we’ll find a way that works for you

Hi, I’m Jade! Your friendly Personal Trainer at The Gym Group, Aylesbury.

I’m not your typical PT…

I don’t have visible abs, and I won’t be shouting at you during sessions. I prefer quiet dog walks, getting lost in nature, or listening to an audiobook while I cook. I love a weekend beer, and pizza is my go-to comfort food.

I became a personal trainer because I love helping people.

Before I became a PT I felt lost. Stuck in a low mood, lacking confidence, and unsure what I wanted from life. I’ve been a barista, a lifeguard, and even a Police Officer…

But none of those gave me the fulfilment I’ve found in helping others discover the joy of movement, and the difference it can make to their everyday life.

From managing long-term health conditions with Stephan to ‘falling over less’ for Lesley, regular exercise can do so much more than change how you look, it changes how you live.

The gym can feel intimidating - like you don’t belong there.

But the gym is for everyone, and I’m here to help people who don’t feel like they belong, to realise that they absolutely do.
