Hi, I'm Kay 👋

I'm an Online Personal Trainer and Physiotherapy Assistant based in Leeds.

I help people build strength, confidence and consistency with exercise, so they can feel good and enjoy the things that matter to them.

For me, fitness has never been about simply looking a certain way. It's about feeling capable, looking after your body and being able to do the things you enjoy.

My Story

My relationship with movement and my body hasn't always been straightforward.

I went through a long period of struggling with my body image, dieting and over-exercising. At the time, I thought I was doing the right thing, but it wasn't a healthy or sustainable way to live.

I eventually started working on my mindset and my relationship with food and exercise. I learned to move away from constantly trying to change my body and towards using exercise in a way that actually supported me, physically and mentally.

That shift changed the way I see fitness.

Exercise became less about what I thought I should be doing and more about looking after myself, feeling capable and building a relationship with movement that I could actually maintain for the long term.

I've also experienced several serious breaks to my leg, which eventually meant having an Ilizarov frame as part of my treatment. Recovery didn't go completely to plan, with complications following surgery and two further operations to improve the function of my foot.

Rebuilding my strength and learning to trust my body again taught me that progress isn't always about doing more or pushing harder. Sometimes progress is simply being able to do something today that you couldn't do before.

These experiences have shaped the way I coach.

Why I Coach

I don't believe exercise needs to take over your life.

For me, the gym is a tool that helps me enjoy the rest of my life. I love badminton, running, hiking, bouldering and snowboarding, and the strength and fitness I build in the gym helps me enjoy those things.

Exercise also plays a big part in my mental wellbeing. It's not just about becoming fitter or stronger - it's about having something that makes me feel good.

That's what I want for my clients too.

I want to help people build a healthy, sustainable relationship with exercise — one that supports their body, their wellbeing and the life they actually want to live.

My Experience

Alongside my work as an Online Personal Trainer, I work as a Physiotherapy Assistant in a hospital, supporting patients through their recovery following hip, knee, foot and cardiac surgery.

Working with people at different stages of recovery has given me a real appreciation for how different everyone's starting point can be. I've seen how important patience, gradual progress and building confidence can be when someone is learning to move and function again.

Combined with my own experiences of injury and recovery, this has shaped how I approach coaching.

My Approach

I want training to feel supportive, purposeful and realistic.

You don't need to spend hours in the gym or train every day to make a difference. For most people, 2–3 purposeful sessions a week can be enough to build strength, fitness and confidence while still leaving room for the rest of your life.

And I believe the benefits of exercise go far beyond how you look.

Getting stronger, fitter and more mobile can change how you feel in your everyday life. I've had clients tell me that learning how to lift with confidence, getting stronger and improving their fitness has helped them feel more energised, confident and happier.

Focusing on how you feel, rather than just how you look, can also change your relationship with your body, exercise and food.

My role is to help you:

You don't need to constantly optimise your fitness or push yourself harder.

Your training should support your life - not take it over.

Fitness That Supports Your Life

Maybe you want to feel stronger for your sport, get back into running, feel more confident in the gym, keep up with your hobbies or simply feel better in yourself.

Whatever your reason for training, I believe it should have a purpose that matters to you.

The workout is only one part of coaching.

It's about helping you build the confidence, knowledge and relationship with exercise that allows you to keep moving for the long term.
