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 their coveted and worldwide recognised Health & Fitness Specialist Certification, the International Gold Standard.
