Over the last 25 years in the fitness industry I’ve worked with every level of gym user imaginable. Having worked with international athletes to those who are terrified of the free weights, I’ve seen it all but the training ethos is the same for everyone “try do a little more than I did last time”.

I love training in the gym and want other people to feel the same way about using weights. The health benefits of weights are huge but the mental health benefits are even bigger.

The gym is just a big playground, lets play! You may be surprised what you can actually achieve.

I’ve been involved in sport and exercise from a young age, growing up competing in cross country and fell-running. Competing in running helped me gain an understanding of how to adapt training towards a specific goal, and the importance of consistently applied effort and intensity in this process. I now apply the same mentality to my own training in the gym, and enjoy helping others do the same – no matter how different their goals may be to my own.

I believe that understanding my clients’ individual psychology is key to helping them reach their fitness goals. The factors preventing most people from training consistently are mental rather than physical, so helping change their mindset in relation to exercise can be important to help people achieve lasting and sustainable change. I help people of all ages, abilities and fitness levels establish healthy habits and build confidence strength training- whether the goal is increased muscle mass, improved strength and mobility, fat loss, injury rehabilitation or sports performance. My favourite part of my job is seeing the positive impact that regular strength training can have on my clients’ mental wellbeing.

I’m a dedicated personal trainer specialising in menopause and senior fitness. I’m passionate about empowering mid-life and older adults to lead vibrant lives and have more than a decade experience crafting workouts that prioritise fun, functionality and balance.

My approach focuses on strength, flexibility and functional
movement. I’m aiming not only for fitness but also to support hormone balance through perimenopause, menopause and beyond.

As a mid-lifer myself I understand that many of us may be dealing with physical and/or health challenges. I will deliver a personalised programme adapted to your requirements that will enable you to achieve results through challenging you in the right way. Guidance on
nutrition, stress management and lifestyle adjustments also form an integral part of my approach.

Chloe Burns

My love for movement started 10years ago when I began practising Yoga. I was drawn to this practice as it helped me quieten my mind during a busy period in my life. This led me to go to India in 2017 and undertake a teacher training programme and where I lived for a period of time.

I returned to the UK in 2019 and since then became a full time Yoga teacher. I also began incorporating more movement disciplines into my routine, which led to me completing my Level 2 Fitness Instructor qualification.

I’m passionate about helping people feel more comfortable in their bodies and find joy in movement. I hope to continue expanding my knowledge and ensure that exercise is always accessible and inclusive.

During my adolescence I competed in numerous junior bodybuilding competitions which led me into becoming a Personal Trainer. As I’ve matured, my interests have developed and grown from pure body building into a passion for functional training, CrossFit and mobility.

My interests in health and wellbeing sparked my interest in Psychology which I’ve been studying over the last 5years. I like to apply a more holistic approach with my clients and help them reach their individual goals.
