As a child in Spain I found a strong connection with fitness, which helped me develop my health and my confidence. I’ve always appreciated this way that improving fitness positively impacts so many other aspects life.
Everyone is unique, and everyone learns in their own way. I want to know your strengths, your weaknesses and your goals, then as a team decide your way. I’ve learnt that knowing when to change a routine is as important as wanting to progress, as repetition is often a barrier.

Give me 50... words about you, Robert
Hi Girls and Guys, Ladies and Gents!
You know the score - The Beckhams, ‘Brangelina’ – we are continually presented with images of beautiful people with beautiful bodies – and that’s not even mentioning those annoying friends who seem to be able to eat anything and not put on any weight - grrrr!
However, as I’m sure you realise, achieving your goals will involve some hard work – but not all at once! I want our sessions to be fun as well as fruitful - we will work together with varied routines and build up gradually.
Nevertheless, there will also have to be some commitment and dedication to the cause – your body is not going to suddenly get fit overnight, and it takes time for the nutritional changes to take effect; you’ll have to stick with it – sorry about that!

- Level 2 CYQ Fitness Instructing (YMCAfit)
- Level 3 CYQ Personal Training (YMCAfit)
- InsanityInstructor (BeachbodyLIVE)
