I packed in the office life to make the hobby I loved into a career. I’m always active with a crazy passion for football and travelling.

I recently developed a new passion for Health and Fitness, so you can usually find me in the gym out of my normal working hours or playing 5-a-side football with friends. I’m also spin-qualified, one of my more favourable classes.

The one-to-one relationship with my PT clients is extremely valuable, helping them achieve their goals and their personal targets is rewarding for them and myself.

I have always had a love of playing sports mainly cricket and football but fitness and the gym is my main passion.

Having studied Sport Science at college and now working at Oakhill, I’ve found what I’d like to do for a long time in my life and I will be pursuing everything I can out of the industry.

Having transformed my own body I have the personal experience to help clients that are ready to transform themselves whether it’s through PT’s, the gym or classes.

Before starting at Oakhill I used to ski race at a national level and travel across the country to race, in 2017 I was crowned with “English School Ski Champion”. I still enjoy ski racing and try to fit this in when I can, getting to Rossendale to practice, is like my second home to Oakhill.

I have always loved being active and now being able to put my passion into the work environment, means I have a job that really gives me satisfaction. I’m looking forward to qualifying and learning more about the industry.
