My career in fitness spans over two decades across Ireland and the UK, working at every level of the industry — from coaching clients on the gym floor to managing some of the largest and most successful health clubs in the country.

I hold a BSc (Hons) in Sport & Exercise Science from Liverpool John Moores University, giving me a strong foundation in biomechanics, physiology, and performance training. Alongside this, I am a certified nutritionist through Mac-Nutrition Uni (MNU), where I specialised in evidence-based nutrition coaching focused on long-term health, fat loss, and body composition.

In addition to my academic background, I am fully qualified in both mat and reformer Pilates, allowing me to integrate movement quality, core control, and mobility into traditional strength training. This combination forms the foundation of the Strength X Pilates approach.

Earlier in my career, I represented Ireland in mountain running, competing internationally at the World Mountain Running Trophy in Germany. This experience gave me a deep understanding of performance, discipline, and the long-term demands placed on the body — something that continues to shape how I coach today. Over the years for "fun" I have completed adventure races, marathons and even an Ironman event!

Professionally, I have held senior leadership roles within major fitness brands including David Lloyd, Fitness First, and DW, managing large teams, multi-million-pound operations, and memberships of over 8,000 members. These roles developed not only my coaching expertise, but also a deep understanding of what truly works when it comes to helping people achieve results at scale.

 

 

My Approach

​

What sets my coaching apart is the integration of:

• Progressive strength training to build muscle and resilience

• Pilates-based movement to improve mobility, posture, and core control

• Evidence-based nutrition to support fat loss, performance, and health

• Structured programming designed for long-term sustainability

I specialise in working with busy professionals — particularly those over 40 — who want to improve their strength, reduce body fat, and move without pain or restriction.

My focus is not just on short-term results, but on helping you build a stronger, healthier body that supports you for years to come.
