I love helping people of all abilities achieve their fitness goals, and my programmes are designed to help improve overall wellbeing, health and fitness - so you move better and feel better, too. Plus, as a big foodie, I firmly believe you can still enjoy the food you like - with a little help from effective exercising.

Menopause Trainer
A qualified PT since 2011, I have a wealth of sports-related experience including long-distance running, Tae Kwon Do and horse riding, and represented my county in swimming and netball.
I love helping my clients maintain a healthy lifestyle. I focus on cardio (especially running), boxing & martial arts padwork, plus strength training including yoga-inspired bodyweight exercises, kettlebells, suspension training and traditional free weights. I can also advise on nutrition. And as a mum of two, I recognise the value of keeping strong and fit during and after pregnancy, so am qualified to train pre and post-natal women.

Training with me is always going to be fun and effective, and if you sometimes need that extra push to meet all the goals we set together, I can make that happen. After all, I believe that by keeping fit and obtaining/maintaining good health you can enrich your way of life.

I plan my programmes with care, always keeping things fresh and interesting.

Dean Burt
Personal Trainer,
Bootcamp Instructor
I’ve been a qualified personal trainer since 2019, but fitness has always been a part of my life. Now I enjoy sharing my knowledge and helping clients not only meet their goals, but surpass them too.
As every client is different, I create training sessions that are tailored to individual needs – helping them improve their technique, gain better results and enjoy a healthier lifestyle. For me, a key part of training is about having a stronger body and a strong mindset, so I guide clients carefully during sessions, helping break down any barriers that might stop them from reaching their full potential – and ensuring that together we exceed their expectations.
My specialisms
Bodyweight training, boxing & padwork training, free weights, interval training/HIIT, core strength, circuit training & gymnastic rings.
