Caroline

Fitness has been a part of Caroline’s life, becoming addicted since her late teens, she used to run or cycle 3 – 4 km to the nearest gym followed by a circuit class, swim laps then back on her my bike to ride home! Caroline loves exercising outdoors and enjoys a good run and fitness challenge, having competed in over a dozen half marathons, triathlons, fun runs since the late 90's. Starting a family in 2007 Caroline decided this was an opportunity to change career paths from Advertising to Fitness. From training with an outdoor trainer to re-gain her fitness and wellbeing after her first child, she realised this was the perfect fit for her. After completing fitness qualifications in March 2009, she started out training other mothers to regain their fitness and core strength back after childbirth. Therefore it was a natural progression to combine her knowledge and experience and help to train and guide clients to deliver the results, rewards and enjoyment that she receives from being fit and healthy.
