About Me

What about me? How did I get into all this. Well I swam as a kid and I loved swimming, sort of kept it going through University but struggled to juggle it all so fell away and then moved to Australia when I graduated and stopped completely. Now Australia you would think would inspire me to lead an active outdoor life and it did… eventually. There was a bit of a blip in the middle but needless to say one day I plucked up the courage to join a gym and found Les Mills BodyCombat (release 8!). That was it, I was totally smitten and wanted to become a BodyCombat instructor. The rest is history, I trained to be a Master Personal Trainer with the Australian Institute of Fitness, qualified, came back to Scotland and got my first job as a Fitness instructor and I have not looked back since.

So here I am now, 2 kids and a new hip later rediscovering what my body can do and enjoying being able to move again.

Side note - I returned to swimming just before lockdown 2020 (because of my arthritic hip) and found an undiscovered love of Open (Wild) Water Swimming (I was always terrified of open water – too many things in the water) Australia did NOT help with this. Always happy to share my love of swimming too.
