I’m not sure if you’re a dog owner or not and I had never owned a dog until a few years ago. You could say I adopted two greyhounds! Maybe my parents didn’t take to dogs or the environment wasn’t suited to having dogs, I can’t really say for sure. My ex-partner has been a […]
Have I mentioned that I’m coming up to my 50th Birthday soon?! I know, it’s hard to believe. Can you remember back when you were 18 years old and people in their late 40s were ancient?! Well I’m only 49 for another 9 days and it feels strange. I’m not exactly sure how I feel […]
You’d think that December would be the worst month of the year for a Fitness Professional! I mean, most people switch off from fitness in December because they’re just too busy partying, buying presents, visiting family and friends etc. Popping down to the local gym or health centre is most likely the last thing on […]

Black Friday is a day where people go absolutely berserk and start fighting each other […]
If you read my emails, blogs and newsletters, you’ll see I talk about weight training for women and the many benefits associated with it quite a lot! Here’s a relevant article that talks about it – it mentions Cameron Diaz so worth a look!! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2873487/Women-lift-weights-seen-attractive-men-fitness-fanatics-Cameron-Diaz-Millie-Mackintosh-leading-athletic-trend.html Ok, forget about Cameron Diaz as she’s Hollywood and we’re […]
Today, I want you to forget about all of the petty, unimportant things in your life. That’s right, just for one day! Can you do that? Put aside all the crap that we get uptight about – the traffic, the weather, the people in the supermarket with their trolleys, the queues – you get the […]
I’ll keep this short today. You may be aware that I now have a fitness studio in Ouseburn, Newcastle. If you didn’t know that, then I have a fitness studio in Ouseburn!! Now I’m a genuine person – no bull, no small print etc. This week, I’ve decided to offer 10 FREE personal training sessions […]
