🥂 Plus, you’ll get a complimentary glass of prosecco to celebrate with us afterwards! A non-alcoholic alternative will also be available.

This is what it’s all about.

Feeling stronger, fitter and more confident, while genuinely enjoying the process.

Progress isn’t only about numbers, weights or measurements. Sometimes the biggest achievement is simply feeling good in yourself again.

Proud to be part of the journey.

Meet Mel 😍

Mel came to me in May 2025 with a life-changing goal. This week, we celebrated one year of working together towards that goal. We’ve laughed, we’ve cried and there’s been a whole lot of sweat mixed in!

At this point, Mel has lost almost 7 stone in one year. I am so proud of her for her determination and strength to have achieved this. Even when the going gets tough, she shows up and puts in everything she can.

Our sessions have been wonderful. As well as working out, we have shared stories, troubles and helped one another along the way.

I play a small part in helping her achieve this goal. The phrase I use is “I write the script, she reads the lines!”

She delivers those lines phenomenally.

We start year two with the same determination. With each session she gets stronger, fitter and willing to try new things. To see where we started 12 months ago, to what we’re doing now - the transformation in her physically and mentally is outstanding.

Keep going, Mel, and be proud of what you’ve achieved!

“If you’re moving, you’re improving!”

“Repetition for definition!”

“Do you want to borrow my phone? So you can tell someone who gives a sh*t!” (Said in jest, when the going gets tough)

💚

Thank you so much to all of my personal training clients, class members and gym goers for a fantastic year of sessions, classes and the best job you can get paid for!

To those of you who have presented me with gifts this month, thank you! Your generosity and kindness is appreciated.

Whilst I have some preparation to do in the background over the festive break for January, that’s personal training sessions and classes done for 2025. Finishing this morning with two classes full of energy!

I’ll be back in the gym and the studio from Friday 2nd January 2026.

In the meantime, I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

It’s a blessing to love what you do, so thank you once again.

On Sunday I helped warm up the runners for Santas on the run for their North Somerset event. It was my 10th time being involved with an event for this amazing charity that helps support families. It was a pleasure as always.

When you’re challenged by to see if you prefer or following a conversation about your love of marmite 💛

She turned up to her session this week with a jar, we’re taking it very seriously!

So, if you’re a fan of either, which one is it? Or can’t to stand either? Like Marmite say… you either love it or hate it…

BODY ATTACK OVER & OUT!

After 11 years, I taught my last BODYATTACK class this evening, and the energy from my crew was incredible!

It’s never easy to give up a class, but the time is right for me after a long period of contemplation for doing so.

To be open and honest, due to numerous injuries over the years doing what I do, my body can’t cope with it anymore and it’s time to stop. You only get one body.

My crew were phenomenal tonight. We celebrated, complete with cake, gifts and an enormous amount of sweat and strength! I hope the playlist went off as I intended - ‘with a bang!’

The generosity and kindness of you all is hugely appreciated and I am totally grateful for the love you give me, you are all wonderful, thank you so very much. I’m not even leaving, and the ‘send off’ was amazing.

Almost 12 years ago, I was in ’s classes and thought ‘I want to do that’ - so I did! Tonight she came all the way from Exmouth to join me for my final BODYATTACK class and I had no idea. A special thank you to for your contribution here 😍

Another thank you to who organised a very special message from someone very special indeed. I’ll share that in a reel 😍

It might just be ‘an exercise class’ to some, but for me, I’ve seen some significant and challenging life events whilst teaching this programme, and at times it’s ‘saved’ me with the perfect escapism.

Thank you to everyone who has ever been to the class with me at all the clubs and centres I’ve taught it 😍 - it’s been a blast!
