It's all about boxing
What do you love most about boxing? I love fitness that engages the mind and is a little more physical which boxing is amazing for. I find it takes your attention off the fact you are actually exercising, not to mention it targets your entire body all at once.
How did your journey into fitness start? I have always played sport and loved being physically fit so it made sense to make a career out of doing something I love.
What do you consider your strength? My strength outside of a right cross & left hook is making people feel comfortable irrelevant of where they are starting their fitness journey from.
What would you say is your biggest fitness accomplishment? I absolutely love watching people discover the power that physical exercise and being fit can have on your life. My goal is to help as many people as possible on this journey to see the best version of them self.
What inspires you? People who are committed and willing to push themselves outside their comfort zone.

It's all about boxing
What do you love most about boxing? I love how it is such a high intensity whole body workout and how it forces you to be so aware of how you move your body in space. It’s not just a physical workout but a mental workout.
How did your journey into fitness start? I left primary school teaching to pursue fitness. Teaching sadly was not my passion, but fitness has always been so important to me and I want to share that love of exercise with others.
What do you consider your strength? My determination to always improve and consistency in that journey for self-improvement. For example, I always make sure I get my workouts in every single week, no matter what. I love learning too. I feel stuck when I’m not learning something new.
What would you say is your greatest accomplishment? Being able to make that transition from teaching to fitness. So many people tell me how risky the move was, but I am so glad I did it and so much more fulfilled as a result.
What inspires you? People who constantly face adversity in their day-to-day lives and yet still wake up every day and smash their health and fitness goals uncomplainingly.
