I have always had a passion for health & fitness and helping people realise their potential.

At 19 I won a full scholarship to a top London Drama School – But it wasn’t for me. After two years my mother became ill. I decided that I needed to go back to Swansea.

Back home, friends and colleagues always told me I should become a Personal Trainer and start my own business, but I was too scared.

I took the leap back in 2012 when I was in a job that was impacting my mental and physical health.

I had a choice – Follow my passion or follow someone else’s.

I decided to take the leap of faith and follow my passion. I have not looked back.

Whilst building the business, I worked as an Assistant Manager of a mobile phone shop and a nightclub doorman, meaning 12 hour days and very little time to see family.

But the hard work and commitment paid off.

I now have a 2,500 sq ft Personal Training Studios, split into 3 private spaces, where our clients can achieve their goals without intimidation and fear of being judged by others. We are breaking into the Online Coaching market, so we can help more people realise their potential, improve their health & fitness all over the world.

“Do what you love and you will never work a day in your life.”

I genuinely love what I do. When I see someone’s potential I feel a duty to help them achieve their goal – Whether it’s in fitness or life
