🌸MY ETHOS🌸
Irrespective of identity, age, background or ability, everyone should feel safe, respected & confident in the gym.
I understand that fitness spaces can feel intimidating & this is why I take the time to listen, not just to your goals, but also to your concerns and anxieties & tailor each session to meet your needs.
If you’ve never set foot in a gym, or feel uncomfortable in this environment, let me help break down this barrier.

🏳️⚧️MY STORY
I never realized the weight of those dumbbells I lifted at 12.
Training became so much more than movement—it became a way to shape a body and a life that truly felt like mine.
Now, I get to guide others toward that same feeling of home.

🏳️⚧️CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
Jane started training with me whilst navigating a new life due to the impacts of Long Covid.
Chronic fatigue had changed the way she had to manage her energy levels through the week.
Initially the crucial factor was to introduce resistance training without causing post exertion malaise.
From starting out entirely floor-based, to building technique with bodyweight, then progressing to dumbbells, kettlebells & barbells…
She now hits all the big lifts & we have also introduced conditioning elements to our sessions.
Most importantly, we have been working together consistently without any energy crashes.
Thank you for putting your trust in me Jane, it has been, and continues to be, an honour to be a part of your journey 🫶

🏳️⚧️ELLA’S TESTIMONIAL
*i know it’s April fools day, I haven’t started working with dogs, swipe to end 😁
Working with Ella has been one of the greatest experiences of my career.
The leap of faith they put into starting training with me & the magnitude of anxiety they had to manage in stepping into our first session is truly heroic.
Thank you for trusting me, for being a part of your journey to your authentic self. And for your friendship.
And Happy Birthday!!!

🏳️⚧️MOTIVATION & DISCIPLINE
Working with clients with Long COVID, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Postural Orthostatic
Tachycardia Syndrome, & many other
autoimmune disorders involves a more nuanced approach than simply leaning into the old mind set of just “push through it”
There is no lack of motivation or discipline, in fact the discipline often involves holding back from going too hard in a gym session due to the potential detrimental impact.
I’ve listed 4 key principles I use when working with clients managing these conditions.
Shifting from the all or nothing mindset, to appropriate pacing is fundamental.
Hopefully this is helpful!

🏳️⚧️MOBILITY🏳️⚧️
It’s not all bench press & bicep curls:
If you want weight training to be a part of your life, for life, finding movement to complement this is key.
Optimal strength training for hypertrophy requires loading muscles in full extension to full flexion.
To achieve this we need our joints to work through full range.
For years I was advised to do yoga to support my weight training, but it didn’t have that hook I needed…
In 2019 I found animal flow and it has been the best addition to my weekly training…

Seeing so many trans guys enter #Gymshark66 challenge this year made me reflect on how we are changing the face of the fitness industry.
Showing up in an industry that,historically, celebrates the gender binary, is brave.
Navigating gyms is brave.
Seeing more trans Personal Trainers, online coaches & athletes is giving more people access to spaces they thought were simply not for them.
And that is wonderful.
So my 3 habits to implement for the next 66 days are:
1.No phone after 9pm
2.Daily gratitude journal
3.Hit Daily protein goal
Not huge or life-altering habits, but small practices that make a difference over time.
