Another excellent training camp at Bayford Hall Farm with Daniel Sherriff Dressage . Thank you to all of our amazing riders and horses for the enjoyable weekend. Blessed with the weather once again. A special mention to Sophie Shardlow for arranging all of our delicious food. A few postcards from Hertfordshire 🤩

The stadium of the first modern Olympic Games.

Sadly we weren’t allowed to run on the track this morning due to repairs, so I had to settle for the bleachers (my US friends will know exactly what they mean) 😂

A little history about the Panathenaic Stadium. It’s the only stadium in the world to be fully built out of marble and sits on the original site of a small racecourse in 300BC !!!

Sad to be leaving Greece today, but all good trips must come to an end. On my way to Daniel Sherriff Dressage for the next training camp! 🦄 🌞 👟

It’s not every day you get the opportunity to spend the afternoon sailing on a catamaran around the islands off Mykonos.

But the crazy thing is, I could have easily missed all of this.

I’d been invited as head trainer to deliver five days of fitness classes (which is a story for another day).

Who me?

A month ago, I was an academic working as a university teacher in Orthoptics.

I was walking into something I hadn’t done at this scale before.

The truth is, you will feel scared. You will have reservations. You will doubt whether you’re ready.

But at some point, you have to take the leap of faith.

And I’m so glad I did.

Sometimes those decisions become the defining moments in your life.

For me, that’s also one of the biggest reasons for booking onto a retreat like this.

It gives you access to experiences, places and a lifestyle that would otherwise be incredibly difficult — or expensive — to arrange by yourself.

I think the idea of a fitness retreat puts a lot of people off because they imagine five days of being absolutely hammered in the gym.

But that definitely isn’t my style and the workout is just one hour of your day.

The other 23 hours? You’re actually living life.

Looking at dates for September 2027 — who’s coming? 👀

Arrived in Mykonos as head trainer for a week of fitness classes overlooking the Aegean Sea. Thank you Cat for organising this retreat to the Greece.

Tomorrow we start with a big circuit class using all of the equipment at the Villa (rowing machine, ski erg, assault bike, free weights, and mat based props). The other sessions will be mat barre / Pilates, and some upper / lower body strength classes. Apparently, I’ve been given a licence to burn 🔥

I’d be lying if self-employed life didn’t feel v scary at times. I gave up a secure career to take a ride on the entrepreneurship rollercoaster.

I’ll be using this week to capture content in this beautiful space. If you’ve ever thought about joining the Horse Rider Fitness Academy, then this is a wonderful time as we have a special promo running for new members 👋
