AT A GLANCE: Level 3 Personal Trainer Medical Referral trained Specialist Populations trained Pre and Post-Natal trained Motivation trained Behaviour change trained
NOT-SO-AT-A-GLANCE! Hi, I'm Anna, and I love helping people to find their passion for fitness in a safe and fun environment. I'm currently based at XXL gym Barry, but am able to do at-home workouts too if needed. I work with a variety of goals, including entrophy training, weight loss, injury recovery (with input from a medical specialist), endurance training, and fitness for life training. I do a lot of work with women particularly relating to peri-menopause, menopause and beyond, and my aim is to get all women doing safe overload training to counteract the effects of biology! I worked in Probation for a long time, and am trained in CBT, motivational interviewing and a heap of other things related to helping people to change problematic behaviours, which I now use to assist clients in achieving their fitness goals. I have recently been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, triggered by Covid 19. I went from completing endurance events (Ironman 70.3 and an ultra-distance duathlon being my proudest achievements) to struggling with day to day activities. This has given me a greater understanding in the struggles people face in achieving their fitness goals.
