Health and fitness have been a life long passion for me ever since I did my first gym workout while at secondary school. I remember how great it made me feel afterwards. From then on I never looked back. I was hooked! I loved training and it was to be an essential part of my life. After leaving the police service in 1995, I decided to pursue a career in the fitness industry and during 1996-97 achieved an NVQ LEVEL 2 in sport and recreation including gym instructor award and RSA exercise to music (aerobics instructor) award.

After working as a pool lifeguard, duty manager and fitness class instructor at Streatham Pool south London for 2 years, I went on to become a full time fitness consultant for Harpers Fitness at Flax Man Sport Centre South London. In 2000 I joined L.A Fitness and began work as a senior instructor/personal trainer and enjoyed great success with my clients one-to-one and in fitness classes, which included "Spinning", "Tighter assets" and "Aqua aerobics".

In November 2002 I decided to take a brief career break and went on to complete my studies at The American College Of Sports Medicine (ACSM) achieving the Personal Trainer certification, which is regarded as the international gold standard for trainers worldwide. I have recently completed the 'Wright Foundation GP Exercise Referral Qualification'.

I am currently working for Bladerunner managing a corporate fitness centre.
