Years of personal training experience:
20 years
Fun Fact about you:
"I was born on a small Portuguese island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean called Madeira. I've also lived in the UK, South Africa, and now in the amazing Truro!"
Favourite muscle group to train:
"All of them! But I must say, I love starting my workouts with some leg training—it helps release hormones like cortisol and testosterone, which can be highly beneficial for your overall workout."
Least favourite exercise:
"Jumping jacks—I just can’t seem to get the coordination right 😂 but I’m determined to master them eventually!"
Why should someone sign up for a personal training session with you?
"With 20 years of experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge to every session. My goal is to help my clients understand the big and small details that make fitness enjoyable, fun, and rewarding."
Years of personal training experience:
Certified since August 2025 — but I’ve been working out since 2015 and teaching and motivating people long before that!
Fun Fact about you:
Before becoming a personal trainer, I was a kids’ teacher, so patience and creativity come naturally. Now I just bring that same energy to the gym (some clients say the song Maniac was made for me!).
Favourite muscle group to train:
Back, because it’s all about building strength, power, and great posture.
Least favourite exercise:
Bulgarian split squats… they hurt in all the right ways.
Why should someone sign up for a personal training session with you?
Because I focus on helping people feel strong and capable in their everyday life — not just during workouts. My sessions are functional, fun, and designed to build confidence while getting real results. You’ll feel supported, challenged, and proud of yourself every step of the way!
Years of personal training experience:I started my personal training journey back in 2011, then traded barbells for baby bottles when I moved to Truro and had three amazing kids. After 11 years of chasing toddlers (which counts as cardio, right?), I recently completed my Personal Training program again and I’m so excited to get back to helping others crush their goals — this time with a little extra patience and a lot more caffeine.
Fun Fact about you:
I once did a Spartan Race while pregnant — because I don’t believe in limits, just smart modifications!
Favourite muscle group to train:
Back — I’m a little obsessed with pull-ups. They’re tough, humbling, and ridiculously satisfying when you nail them!
Least favourite exercise:
Bulgarian split squats — because apparently balance, coordination, and leg strength all decided to gang up on me at once.
Why should someone sign up for a personal training session with you?
I make training both effective and enjoyable. My sessions are designed to challenge you, but I’ll always support you every step of the way. Whether you’re new to fitness or ready to break through a plateau, I’ll help you move better, feel stronger, and stay motivated long after the workout ends.
