I am a Personal Trainer here at PureGym Livingston.

Health and Fitness is a massive part of my life, 11 years to be exact. During these 11 years there has been many setbacks involving my training. I had a late pregnancy that caused me to gain weight. I moved abroad with work and had to start a whole new life in Qatar. I had 3 major surgeries’ due to health problems and not forgetting the menopause!!

During these times I knew I had to be smart with not only my training but my nutrition too. This taught me a lot about my body and what works for me.

During my time in Qatar, I started training in bootcamps 3x per week. This soon increased to 7x per week as I loved it that much. This then made me interested in different ways to train, so I decided to do CrossFit. This involved Olympic Lifting, Gymnastics and Conditioning. I absolutely loved every minute of it.

 I then decided 5 years ago to do my Level 2 Gym Instructor course and then started my own Strength, Conditioning and HIIT classes. This became a massive succession for me, but life had other plans and I moved back to Scotland. During lockdown I decided to do my Level 3 Personal Trainer course and use my passion to help others improve their life through health and fitness.
