Why I got a Personal Trainer
It’s the 31st December and the start of a New Year tomorrow- the time when everyone starts making their new fitness plans and goals for the year ahead!
Exercise Every Day

How to relax and de-stress! (Pilates workout!)
If you’re feeling a bit stressed, anxious, or just need to relax a little more then this pilates stretching routine is what you need!
Post-run routine

Mid year check in- and celebrating 1 year!
