MY STORY
Over 20 years ago, I walked into the gym at my local leisure centre in Chepstow and applied for an instructors job. After completing the relevant courses I began delivering circuit training and classes. I loved it, I loved working with people who were willing to push themselves in order to progress, reach for challenges and become better people. This is something I have always pursed in myself and from that point I just knew that training and helping others will be a huge part of my life.
The next chapter began when I decided to further my education at University which enabled me to achieve a specific degree; Ba (hons) Fitness & Personal Training, this created the idea of starting my own PT business in Chepstow. I pitched the idea to Monmouthshire County Council (MCC) and they trailed the proposal and it was successful. MCC rolled out the Personal Training across all of their sites which provided more jobs for other aspiring PT's, another level of service and more access for those who were looking for specific services within the gym. It was a great success!
After COVID19 completely destroying the gym industry and personal trainers (including me), I was forced to work in wear-house jobs and packing boxes just to get by. As I pushed through those tough times, it was only then that I was not welcomed back into the gym where it all began due to reasons I am still unaware of today - this was probably the hardest thing for me mentally. I up-skilled to a private mentor which led me to working within the mental health services for young people in schools and at their homes on a one-to-one basis specifically in ADHD, trauma, dyslexia, bereavement, suicide and anxieties. This experience enhanced my skillset and although it was fantastic work, it had to come to an end with the students growing up and moving onto their further education. A superb few years of change and development.
My personal attitude has always been to action your ideas, I consistently do this myself and have done so since I began helping people achieve their own goals. Over the years I've made a strong effort to create new, alternative ideas that will help people with their mental and physical journeys. The Personal Training Pod is my current unique idea where I can do exactly that. I'm a very proud owner of the specifically designed private facility, which means I can work with amazing people and positively impact their lives - it really doesn't get much better than that.
