About Me

I have a BSc (Hons) first class degree in Strength & Conditioning Science from St. Mary’s University. I'm passionate about movement biomechanics and functional fitness. Originally from South Africa, I come from a sporting family and having competed to county level in both cricket and tennis I’ve always been into training and continually striving to be the best version of myself as possible.

What Got Me Into Fitness

I have always been a self-confessed sport nut: tennis, golf, cricket, running, skiing, you name it I’ve probably tried it or willing to give it a go. This obsession for sport ultimately lead me into the fitness world and staying healthy.

Outside the Gym

I spend most of my time with my family and my two children - helping coach my son's Football and Cricket teams and helping my daughter with her gymnastics.

How would you describe your philosophy on fitness and wellbeing? Do you specialise in anything?

Physical fitness is a state of health and well-being, achieved through good nutrition, moderate to vigorous exercise and sufficient rest. This for me equals wellness and happiness, mentally and physically. A lifetime in fitness has given me the opportunity to experience most fitness trends. My favourite being strength training and Pilates, but I also enjoy teaching boxing and Yoga amongst other training methods.

What inspired you to get into fitness?

My biggest inspirations are my parents, who live in Austria and at the age of 80 still head to the gym frequently. After studying classic dance and fitness for many years in Austria, I moved to England. After taking my exams for sports therapy and massage I decided to stay in the UK. After 35 years in the fitness industry, I am still very passionate about improving and helping my clients reach their goals.

What do you get up to when not in lycra?

I spend all my time with my six-year-old son who we home-educate. He fills my diary outside the gym. We are usually found outdoors, either in the beautiful New Forest or our local beach. When at home gaming or reading books.

I have a background in gymnastics, but I found myself progressing through the England hockey pathway. I started out playing for Hampshire and, after several years of trials, secured a place in the England U18 squad for the Home Nations tournament. Playing at Lilleshall was an eye-opening experience that taught me the foundations of athleticism and professionalism in the industry.
