Committed
I have a strong commitment to making fitness available to and fun for everyone. I am particularly interested in using fitness training and sports massage to help prevent and treat a wide range of problems from back pain and everyday aches, to sports injuries and work-related disorders. To this end I find Pilates especially useful and fun and also believe in its value when combined with osteopathy and physiotherapy.
Experienced
My interest in the fitness industry was sparked by my sporting background in flat water canoeing, competing at international level for both the Great Britain Marathon and Sprint Canoeing teams. I started working within the fitness industry in 2001 after qualifying with Premier Global. Since then I have worked in various health clubs and for my own business, as a personal trainer, sports masseur, fitness instructor and Pilates trainer. I now focus my own training on Pilates and running and I have run several London Marathons. I also work in conjunction with osteopaths and physiotherapists at the Carl Todd Clinic Corsham Wiltshire.
Qualified
I first qualified as a personal trainer and sports massage therapist, then subsequently gained various other fitness quaifications. I am committed to continuing my own training and gaining further qualifications, as this enables me to remain up-to-date with the latest ideas and offer variety to my clients.
