I am passionate about coaching, educating and helping people in all aspects of the fitness industry. My enthusiasm for sport and fitness started at an early age. I have played football at a high level as well as competing in Athletics competitions as a teenager. I have coached fitness and sport to all ages from 8-60 years old, in both England and America and I want to bring my experiences to The Unit! Being a new member of Team Unit, is a very exciting opportunity, where I am keen to get started and work along side the coaching staff and our members!
