Hello my name is ...
Joanna, and I've taught in the fitness industry for 20 years building up extensive experience in a multitude of disciplines.
​
Personal Training must be bespoke to the individual, a cookie cutter approach will never work for long term sustainable results.
Sessions need to be tailored to client body type and goals + become a part of the day they look forward to. ​
Strength & Conditioning will likely form the backbone of most individualised sessions. I also have qualifications in :
​
Kettlebells
Yoga
Assisted Stretch
AnimalFlow
TRX
Boxercise
​
Incorporation of these modalities within programming will keep our sessions fun + you safe and progressing.​​​​​​​​
My Story
Having a Cypriot father dragging me to his accountancy practice to work during my school holidays alongside my natural flair for numbers, it seemed only fitting to pursue a career doing the same. However I struggled being sat for long periods staring at a screen and found myself longing to do something more energetic.
I remember seeing a boxercise session on TV that looked really fun. Spontaneously, throwing caution to the wind, I enrolled myself on the instructor course and starting teaching this and circuit classes just as soon as I had qualified.
​
This was 20 years ago, way before fitness was cool - particularly for women. I had caught the "bug" and went on to do my Personal training qualification.
​
Meanwhile, I kept the day job but switched out the accountancy for an operating role in the computer games industry for which I had a well matched skill set. Much the same as the fitness industry, the games industry was vibrant , new and changeable and I was fortunate to be in a role where I was able to shape the course of the business.
In my 8 year tenure we were able to grow the team from 25- 350. and acquire an impressive set of AAA clients and Investment partner.
However my desire to teach and excel in the world of fitness remained persistent, so I would spend my weekends coaching (F45 towerbridge, workshops & personal PT clients) & enhancing my education and skillset by going on global instructor & education courses.
I've now relocated from central London to the Cotswolds, and am very excited to bring my breathwork practice into the mix !
