There’s far too many things to pick from! If I’ve got to narrow it down to just one, it’s very rewarding helping someone on a potentially life-changing journey. I get to see real change in my clients, whether that be in their overall health, weight, or attitude.
I was always athletic at school. I was a part of as many sports clubs as possible and I would never seem to slow down – being active is simply who I am. When I first joined a gym I quickly learnt that I could set new milestones and beat them again and again. Being able to see progression was fascinating and pushing myself to new limits was great. I became friends with the personal trainers at my gym and the job they were describing was simply perfect for me. I then booked onto my first training course and the rest was history!
I have a Master Personal Trainer Diploma, certifications in sports massage, and even ante and postnatal instructing. I’m certified to instruct cycling, weight lifting, and circuit training.
I can work with clients from home, at a local gym, in public areas/parks, from my private workout studio, or even at their office. Modern life is busy and can be difficult to balance, so we can discuss the most suitable options for your routine and budget.

I’m writing this for anyone who, like me, has spent years living with chronic pain and is about to give up. I’ve dealt with constant back pain for over two years, which only got worse after a nasty fall. I tried everything—TCM, Chiropractic sessions, Yoga—but nothing worked. I honestly thought I’d just have to live with it, assuming the fall had done permanent damage. Kang was my trainer. As a 'first-time gym girl,' I was honestly intimidated by the idea of personal training, but Kang made me feel at home immediately. He’s incredibly knowledgeable but explains everything in layman’s terms—no confusing technical jargon. What sets Kang apart is how much he actually cares about my daily well-being: (1) Safety First: He starts every single session by asking how I’m feeling and isn't afraid to pivot or modify an exercise on the spot if I’m struggling. (2) Creative Problem Solving: If a specific stretch doesn't give me relief, he goes 'beyond the books' to find a new technique that works. He’s truly passionate about his clients getting better, not just hitting reps. (3) Never Boring: I get bored easily, but Kang keeps things fresh. No sessions are the same, which keeps me excited to actually show up. The results? I started feeling genuine relief after just 3 to 4 sessions by following his stretches diligently (stretch daily). I’ve just finished 3 months with him, and I feel stronger and more mobile than I have in years. If you’re on the fence, especially if you’re dealing with an injury, go see Kang. It’s the best investment I’ve made for my health.

Should I work out every day of the week?
It depends on your end goal. If you’re training for a marathon, you might work out nearly every day of the week. If you’re a low-level beginner, a minimum of three times a week is enough to make a noticeable impact. No matter what you’re working out for, everyone needs rest and recovery days. Without them, your muscles won’t be able to recuperate and grow strong, so remember to factor in some down-time, too!
Where can I have my personal training sessions?
Pretty much anywhere! The great thing about personal training is that it’s flexible - as long as you have the necessary equipment, you and your instructor can decide to have your sessions from the gym, your home, the park, or even your office if you want to!
Does my fitness instructor need to know anything about me?
Yes! First of all, they will chat with you about your goals, and discuss the best way to achieve them. They should also ask you to fill in a consent form to check that you don’t have any pre-existing health conditions that could impact your exercise. They’ll also carry out a health assessment to get a better idea of your current fitness level, tailoring your workout plan around that.
What does a standard personal training session involve?
It's tricky to say, as personal training sessions vary significantly depending on what you want to achieve and the type of workout. Generally, one personal training session tends to last forty-five minutes to one hour. It will start with a gentle warm-up, followed by the nitty-gritty of the actual workout, with stretches to end the session. Remember, warming up and stretching is essential for injury prevention - it’s just as important as the main part of the workout!
What qualifications should a personal trainer have?
A personal trainer needs to be clued up on all aspects of fitness, from the most effective exercise techniques to nutrition and human anatomy- that’s a lot of responsibility! You need to make sure your professional is suitably qualified for the job. After all, you shouldn’t cut corners when it comes to investing in your health. Make sure your trainer has the minimum qualifications required to practice. In the UK, this is the Level 3 Personal Trainer qualification.
Can I get a Personal Trainer online?
Absolutely! Online personal training has become increasingly popular as more people are looking to maintain their fitness during lockdowns and gyms closing. As long as you and your personal trainer have a strong internet connection and a device to stream on like a laptop, tablet or smartphone, there's no reason why your session can't be delivered remotely.
