My love of fitness came later than expected.  Prior to becoming a BuggyBootcamp Fitness Instructor I worked in media & advertising in London.  My media career was incredibly fulfilling and exciting but would have been difficult to maintain with a child. Before I became a mummy I had done stints at the gym and some running but there wasn't the love that there is now.  That came after I had Archie.  Like most new mums I was keen to shed the pregnancy weight but struggled.  Then I discovered Buggy Bootcamp and found it was exactly what I was looking for - a passion for keeping fit, achieveable goals and some lovely friends thrown in.  It spurred me on to eat more sensibly and within no time I was back in the skinny jeans I loved so much.  In the summer I joined the Buggy Bootcamp team in the Race of Life (5k) and completed the run in 27 mins.  It was a fantastic buzz.  

When my husband and I decided to relocate closer to our families in Northumberland, I searched for a suitable alternative but there was nothing like Buggy Bootcamp.  The solution was simple, I would start one of my own.  In the last few months before moving I trained extensively with Nicola, (BB founder).  It was a daunting but exciting time which involved me shadowing Nicola and also teaching classes myself.  Alongside this training I also studied and qualified as a Level 2 YMCA Fitness Instructor.  

I now live in Corbridge with my husband Phil and Archie who is now 16 months.  My classes run twice a week and when I'm not working out with fellow mummies, I work with Phil on our other business which is focused on Green Energy Solutions.  I have kept up the running outside of class and in September completed a 10 mile run in good time.  I'm now planning a half marathon and Buggy Bootcamp Northumberland is planning to do the Race for Life in the summer.
