My Background
Having always been interested in sport, playing plenty myself this naturally led to an interest in health and fitness.
Through studying sport science at UCLan I gained a knowledge of anatomy, biomechanics, physiology that I wanted to be able to apply to fitness. During this time I worked with strength and conditioning coaches at Warrington Wolves Rugby League Club.
Since then I have worked as a personal trainer and gym instructor in Preston. I then went on to study for my Masters degree at Loughborough University, where I specialised further into the biomechanics of injuries. Whilst studying at Loughborough I worked with some of their S&C coaches and the swim teams, some of which went on to compete at the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
Time With Fitness Experience
Since starting at FX I have worked with over a range of clients from injury rehabilitation and general fitness,
Some of my biggest achievements with clients come in the form of rehabilitation. One of which being told surgery was the only option to getting her back running in just 4 months.
Being able to work between a diverse group of clients has been extremely rewarding and I look forward to more challenges coming my way.
