"Kicking, punching, blocking & throwing" - How martial arts has been a part of me
Live-well Blog #5 - 14/01/26 Another day, another combo! "Keep going Meena!" Susanna, 59, does another impressive head height roundhouse kick into the bag. The session is going great! We’ve been doing PT sessions together for about 4 months. Before she had sciatic pain down her leg, mental fatigue and wanted to burn excess weight. Now she can do 15 rounds of kickboxing, is more toned and totally pain free. I love being a personal trainer! 🥳🙌 Martial arts has been a big pa

Live-well Blog #2 - 5/11/25 Let’s get real for a moment… 🤨 Sometimes those darker, rainier days can get us a bit down at times. As a personal trainer, physical health is a real focus of mine. For myself and clients. But I am also very aware of our mental health too. I’m very passionate about helping people get their healthy balance. Both with their bodies and minds. I want to make sure everyone is doing their best to look after themselves going forwards! Autumn brings cool

"Mind Over Matter" - Four Days Hiking Around the Isle of Wight
Live-well Blog #1 - 13/10/25 This summer I had the pleasure, and the great challenge(!), of hiking around the Isle of Wight (just under 70 miles) with my wife and mum-in-law. I had visited numerous times over the years and really loved its mixture of landscapes, charming towns and villages alongside the interesting quirk of being an island off of the mainland. Before starting the event, I saw it as a sort of mini adventure, a mixture of travelling by foot to places I foun
