How did you get into the fitness industry?:

I've been into sports ever since I was a kid growing up & always loved what an amazing impact both sports & health and fitness has on peoples lives. After being a gymnast, a gymnastics coach, completing my uni degree in tourism & sports management and having strong influences in my life involved in the industry, I decided that being part of such a fantastic industry is exactly what I wanted with my life.

Passion & empathy. It's a life changing role and we have a very large responsibility in creating an environment for individuals where they need to see at a glance how passionate we are about what we do, to make them want health & fitness to be a part of their lives. To let them know we care, we understand and that we'll be with them through every step of their journey.
