A little bit about me, and what you can expect if you choose me as your Personal Trainer.

At 51 I’m what you’d call the more mature Personal Trainer. There’s certainly more pro’s than con’s where that’s concerned.

Married, 2 grown up children and actually very late to the fitness party. I qualified when I was 37 years old…most people are in their early 20’s!

My qualifications have taken me right up to my Level 4 Personal Trainer specialist in Diabetes, Obesity & weight management, and I am Professional Status registered by my governing body. I am a qualified Female and Menopause coach, Optimal Health pre/post hysterectomy and most recently gained my GLP-1 coaching certificate.
So very much, moving through the seasons of health & fitness.
I also teach Group Exercise & Yoga as a freelance instructor at my local David Lloyd Club.

Instruction and guidance from me is Real Honest Fitness. That’s my business ethos, and has been for the last 15 years. I don’t sugar coat anything….and if the truth be known, it may be I will not be the trainer for you. Openness and transparency is the only way to get results you want. We don’t work towards big before and after transformations. We’re in it for the long haul, for longevity of life, to stay strong, independent and to live without pain. I’m also a GP referral qualified trainer which means I can also work with stable chronic medical conditions, and have helped 100’s of clients over the years recover from injuries, surgeries and illness.

So if you’ve been lurking on the sidelines and watching quietly, come and introduce yourself. If you’re curious as to what I can do to help you, then drop me a message. I have my own private studio. 🥰

Trauma

This poor pup of mine has had a traumatic week and if the truth be known, so have I.

You might think, what has this got to do with my fitness account….well, let me begin.

Recovering from trauma, is a massive thing. Whether that be physically, emotionally or both. It takes time. Use your imagination….we don’t need to individually list examples, that could be too much of a trigger, and I want to avoid that.

When you exercise do you stay focussed or does your mind wander? This is when it can hit you, when you least expect it to. Just a reminder to be kind to yourself. Try and get back on the wagon, but take as much time as you need. I’m not talking about returning to exercise post injury/surgery. There’s guidelines and advice for that.

I’m talking about physical or emotional trauma. Only you will know what that means to you.

You don’t need permission to adapt and pull back. Take the lower impact option. Do whatever you need to do. Take a break when you need to, take a drink if you want to. Just know in whatever environment you see me in, this is your safe space. Protect yourself and your energy by allowing yourself that space in whatever context you need.

As for this one…tomorrow we start again. 😔🐶♥️

So quite a raw post incoming…and I may have touched on this a few years ago, but do you know what? I don’t know, I can’t remember….

This is the thing, as a female mature Personal Trainer going through menopause and navigating turbulent times, sometimes I think I’m just not good enough.
When the self doubt kicks in, the imposter syndrome is very real. Then I question myself, and tell myself I’m just not good enough. Comparing myself to Personal Trainers who are young enough to be my children! Who don’t even offer what I do!! I mean….wth is that all about?

Then I have a really lovely conversation just in passing, nothing planned with a younger personal trainer who is also maybe feeling the pressures of not being good enough and the pressures of keeping up with social media and trying to workout what followers want or need to see.

Then I remind myself, I’m 51. I’m the healthiest, fittest and strongest I’ve ever been. My business ticks along quite nicely, and I’ve been doing this for 15 years! I’ve seen other trainers come and go in that time alone….longevity in this game is a rare thing.
I grew my business before social media and it also survived that invisible virus after being locked down and shut down for months with a massive cut in my income.

So I’ve given my head a wobble and I’m finishing the course I started months ago and will register for new training this week. Because the learning never stops, because I love what I do and I need to stop being a dick head!!

Please tell me it’s not just me? I know my HRT isn’t as effective as it was and I’m booked in for my review in a couple of weeks. Being a menopausal woman keeping on top of work and life, is hard. Sometimes I think I’m going bat s**t crazy! 😂😂😂

But I know I’m not….I’m just me. 🥰
