Mother, businesswoman, personal trainer, nutrition coach, group exercise instructor, positive psychology coach…..

In 2007, I established my business Get2it Fitness as a personal trainer and group exercise instructor, initially starting with 4 spin bikes in my mother’s garage to eventually purchasing my own studio housing 15 spin bikes. I introduced one of the first Boot Camp programmes to Blenheim with around 40 participants each round. Almost 20 years on, alongside being a mother of four, I have transitioned to a more personalised approach and I now work from my own home. For now I have retained the name Get2it Fitness as its hard to let go of something I have spent many years building however my focus is now on providing tailored solutions to my clients, catering to three crucial areas of health and well-being. I hold qualifications in Group Fitness, Personal Training, Nutrition, and Psychology. This unique combination of expertise allows me to offer a holistic approach as a personal trainer, ensuring that I can address the physical, nutritional, and psychological aspects of my client’s wellness journey. 

I offer a range of group fitness classes as well as private or group personal training. I also offer nutrition coaching and lifestyle coaching.

MY STORY.

24 years ago I delivered my first baby into this world and over the next 6 years I added three more children to my family. By the time I was 30 years old, I had four children, was blissfully happy and content. Then my first child started school followed by my 2nd! I took a step back in panic and thought “my children are growing up”!

I was never a sporty child at school – sure I played a few team sports, but more so I could hang out with my friends. You definitely would not catch me going for a run and my bike only came out so I could get somewhere when my Mum wasn’t around to drive me.

With my first two children, I was a great fan of daily walks around the hills and streets and the odd Tae Bo exercise video while they slept.☺

After baby number 3, for the first time, I went to a gym. I had the good fortune to land in the hands of an outstanding trainer who opened my eyes to everything from super-efficient exercises to superior nutrition.

Soon I was amazed at how much better I felt physically… but especially how much leaner and stronger my body looked. Who knew? I came to realise just how much a positive body image can directly create all kinds of other positive outcomes in life. I quickly gained much greater self-confidence. I was much more outgoing and I found myself enjoying life to the fullest – from my social life to my work life. 

Having tried out a few different careers prior to children, the last being a preschool teacher, I decided I wanted to try something new. So, after baby number 2, I started my study via correspondence to become a personal trainer and group exercise instructor. As soon as I could, I jumped straight into my new career. I started with 4 bikes in my Mum’s garage taking spin classes and then extending this to own my own studio with 15 spin bikes! I’m not one to sit still, and always looking forward, I then added boot camps to my timetable. I remember being incredibly nervous starting boot camps especially as I was one of the very few in Blenheim who ran boot camps and I was also newly trained.

Almost right away, strong word-of-mouth brought client after client to my door. My boot camps fast grew to 30-40 in a class.

I’ve always felt that ongoing professional development is important and so my training continued. From Boot Camp came the addition of Metafit, Metapower and Metapro programmes.

Nutrition has always been a passion of mine. 1. I love food and 2. I love studying all about it. I believe that nutrition is a vital side of health, fitness and wellness, so I have always provided nutritional advice to my clients. I’ve run successful online nutrition programmes and in the past I followed the trend of low fat food items and my focus was weight loss for my clients. Through further study with Holistic Performance Nutrition I discovered the benefits of a Low Carb lifestyle. I would never go back to the way I used to eat “low carb” is not just about weight loss it’s ‘lifestyle’, energy and all over wellness in one! 

Following on with my love of ongoing professional development and not sitting still, in 2022 I completed my diploma in positive psychology and now I offer 1:1 lifestyle coaching sessions.

Personal training, nutrition coaching and lifestyle coaching are interconnected; both help to enhance your life and achieve personal goals.

Today, I’m passionate about guiding men and woman into choosing good nutrition and helping men and women get fit and strong all whilst acquiring positive mindsets.
