I have been part of The Pumping Station team for over 12 years, working with a wide and diverse range of members. This experience has given me a strong understanding of how to create an environment that is safe, welcoming, accessible, and enjoyable for everyone, regardless of age, ability, or fitness level. As Manager, my priority is to ensure that both the gym and its classes are inclusive, and supportive, enabling every member to work towards their individual goals with confidence.

With a lifelong interest in health and fitness, I naturally progressed into a career in teaching and coaching. As a qualified Personal Trainer, I have supported both individuals and groups across a broad spectrum of fitness and nutritional goals. This includes working with beginners looking to lose weight, tone up, and improve overall fitness, as well as more experienced members and athletes aiming to maintain performance levels and increase strength.

I have delivered a wide range of group exercise classes, including boxing, circuit training, kettlebells, bootcamps, and spinning. In every session, I aim to create a motivating, engaging, and enjoyable atmosphere, while delivering effective and challenging workouts that can be adapted to suit all abilities.

I am committed to helping members achieve long term success in their exercise and nutrition journeys and to continually improving the overall gym experience. I encourage members to make full use of the facilities, take part in group classes, or seek one to one support through personal training.

Fitness has been a passion of mine for many years, and throughout that journey I’ve been fortunate to meet some incredible people who have inspired me along the way. Becoming a qualified Personal Trainer has been one of the most rewarding decisions, I’ve made, and I’ve loved every step of the process.

I’m a trainer who believes in working hard and pushing limits. Completing the 2018 Bolton Ironman was a defining moment for me—an experience that took me far outside my comfort zone and showed me what’s possible when you commit fully. I’m always looking to challenge boundaries, and I believe everyone has the potential to achieve their goals when they believe in themselves.

I thrive on motivating clients to give their all, and their energy drives me right back. My aim is to create classes that are tough, empowering, and above all—fun.

My passion for fitness began in childhood as a competitive gymnast and through an active school life. That early foundation set me on a lifelong journey that has brought me to where I am today. My work is wonderfully varied — one moment I’m teaching a client how to lift with confidence, the next I’m leading a Pilates class. I love the diversity, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

After leaving the corporate world to follow my true passion, I trained as a Personal Trainer — and everything grew from there. I work with individuals and groups who want to reach their goals through balanced nutrition, strength training, and intentional movement. I’ve taught a wide range of group classes and bring a fun, energetic approach to every session, helping you push beyond your comfort zone while still enjoying the process.
