Most of my primary working roles have been in the field of education and training but I've also had a life-long love of sport and exercise that led me to teaching fitness classes, initially, as a hobby, starting with aerobics in 1993 and moving on to Spinning® in 2008. In 2019, I trained as a Stott Level 1 Mat Pilates instructor and have been teaching regularly ever since, moving online through the pandemic. I've recently moved to the Gosport area and, in time, plan to offer more classes as well as one-to-one sessions. The teaching skills I developed in my primary working roles have informed my style as a fitness instructor. I want my clients to exercise in a safe and effective manner and so my classes are carefully planned to accommodate different levels of fitness and to offer alternatives where a client’s ability to take part may be limited by an injury or medical condition/issue.
