How did you get into the fitness industry?
Fitness has always been part of my life, like eating and drinking, it’s something you need to do to be alive! I do have a strange memory of watching a Jane Fonda video about age eight and thinking I could do that – how embarrassing!

Basically I grew from being a gym and class junkie into a fully fledged instructor as soon as I could afford it and was legally old enough! Did many years part time fitness work and eventually took voluntary redundancy from a very sensible PR career to go full-time in fitness.

What are your main areas of interest in fitness?
Education and keeping standards high within the profession. It’s a fun industry but there is a serious side too. Education and learning should never stop….whatever you do!
On a personal note, I’m particularly interested in the role of exercise in the aging process, such as the effect of resistance work … I want to be forever young!

What’s your personal mission statement?
Anything is possible if you put the full power of your mind and energy behind it. Keep your glass half full not half empty!

If you were stranded on a desert island, what three items would you like stranded with you?

1. Big Case of Pink Laurent Perrier Champagne to make Bellini’s with – assuming peach trees grow on my desert island!
2. Either a big fat Sudoko book (pencil and rubber too) or combined DVD/TV with all the episodes of Sex and the City built in – scary how I can go from being seemingly intelligent to seemingly shallow in a split second!
3. My laptop (internet) – covers a multitude of sins!

Any hidden talents?
I’m a mean cook and have made a few birthday cakes in my time, by request, for friends.
