About me:I am the type of person who loves to laugh, and I feel strongly that if you are paying for
something you should at least enjoy it. My passion came when, at 17 stone, I decided to
lose weight over a period of 12 months. It was a case of trial and error, resulting in me being
fitter, stronger and weighing a lean 12 stone. I want to give people the same feeling of
achievement that I have had. Above all, I truly believe that training, no matter how
hard, should be fun!
