Clinical Exercise Physiologist | BExSS(CEP), Accredited Exercise Physiologist (ESSAM); Head Clinical Manager; Principal AEP

I became an Exercise Physiologist not just because of my love of sport, but because I genuinely believe that exercise is medicine and I want to help every individual benefit regardless of their age, gender or condition. I really enjoy getting to know and address all elements of health, so my exercise programs take into account social, physical and behavioural factors. For me it’s not only about the right exercise prescription, but about the support and understanding I can offer that will help people achieve their health or fitness goals. I also really enjoy the techonology and innovation side of exercise, so I’m always looking for new equipment or tech to optimse what we do at Bodytrack.
