About me
Using my expertise and passion to help you reach your goals… Let’s connect
bio
I am an English speaking South African with more than 15 years professional experience as a Sport Scientist, Sport Massage Therapist, Personal Trainer, Pilates Instructor, Aqua Instructor, and Group Trainer in classes such as Step, Aerobics, Spinning (Indoor Cycling), Circuit, Bootcamp, and Combat.
I appreciate and understand that each individual is unique in their approach to fitness and training – from a novice who is new to the training scene, to an elite and professional athlete who is a veteran in The Olympic Games. Whether your primary focus is weight-loss through my personal training programs, rehabilitation and assisted muscle recovery through my Sports Massage Therapy, enhanced performance through my 1-on-1 sessions or Group Classes, or improved posture through my Pilates teachings, with my knowledge and expertise, I am committed to my target-driven mission… You!!!
Whether you’re a foreigner who prefers training in English, or a Spanish resident who wishes to improve their English while training, then my services would definitely interest you!!!
English is my native spoken language, Afrikaans (evolving from Dutch) my second language, and Spanish on a basic conversational level my third. Watch as your English proficiency and competency goes up, while the kilos and unwanted weight goes down!!!!
