I’m 36 years young and have 2 noisy children, Joshua and Bethany. I’ve been working at the gym since I went on the Schwinn course with Janet in May 2007. I work school hours as an accounts assistant and in the evening I work from home, book keeping, and I’m also a transport manager for my brother’s haulage company. So not much time for hobbies but I try to squeeze GymPole, Pilates, Boxercise and a bit socialising in when I can.

Most of my free time is normally spent either at Swinfit, attending classes or just working the desk, or normally I can be found working at cycle events and races. Generally I can be found attending alot of the classes at Swinfit but mainly Boxercise as I really enjoy the fitness that can be gained through self defense training. Since I have started working at the centre I have found that I have gained alot more confidence about myself and life is much more enjoyable for myself with a good base level of fitness.

Occupation; Full Time Commercial Administrator at Thermo Fisher Scientific and I also work 2 nights a week at the Farmer’s Arms as a Chef and Bar Maid.

Interests; Horse riding, I ride my 2 horses 3 times a week and compete at weekends doing Show Jumping. I have been riding now for 11 years and I love it! I also love pole dancing, I have been going to GymPole at Swinfit now for nealy a year and I have come so far with Rozy as my teacher and I really want to progress and teach others the skill and knowledge that Rozy has taught me. Since I have been doing GymPole my upper body muscle strength has dramatically improved and it has toned me loads. Also my confidence level has increased and I have found something that I really enjoy doing.
