Darcen Yearwood
My passion for fitness began when I was around the age of 20. I was injured in a game of football and was prescribed all sorts of pills to deal with the pain. I became overweight and depressed and decided to take matters into my own hands. I began with stretching and dieting and slowly progressed into weightlifting once I was strong enough. After 4-5 months I felt great and my back was not an issue anymore. I decided to pursue a career within health and fitness.
I have been in the industry for eleven years and love every second. I find it extremely rewarding helping people achieve their goals as I remember how good it felt to get over my back pain.
I also have a passion for martial arts. I am a free style karate black belt and have won 4 team kata world championships in 2023. I run 2 martial arts clubs and I take the multiple elements from my combat training and apply it to my puregym clients (padwork, strength & conditioning etc). I will push you to hit your goals but also enjoy having a laugh at the same time. I believe training is fun and hard work is rewarding. Training with me will not just leave you looking good, you will be fitter, stronger, faster and healthier than ever. Train like an athlete or train for general health either way I can help.
