About me

My journey to become a qualified personal trainer began in 2017, when I received the devastating news that I had breast cancer. I was fit and healthy, but with two small children to look after I knew I had to fight hard both physically and mentally in order to get through the challenges that lay ahead.

 

Like many other people in my situation, the impact of surgeries and treatments left me feeling like I had lost control over my body. Slowly I began to get back into the types of exercise I had done before my diagnosis. I found a lovely personal trainer to help me and over time I began to feel a lot more like my old self.

​

I had always considered a career in the fitness industry, but it was my diagnosis and the process of gaining back my fitness whilst accommodating the medical issues the cancer had left me with that really fostered my desire to help others in a similar situation.

​

​

​

It's not just those struggling to recover from illness or injury that sometimes need a little assistance. Whether it be whilst recovering from surgeries and treatments, or just life in general, anyone can at times feel like they're living with a body they no longer recognize.

 

That doesn’t need to be the end of the road. I’m here to support anyone who wants to work hard to make a positive change in their life. For me, my cancer was the catalyst. It was the reason I changed career, and it remains the driving factor in my desire to motivate others to take back control of their bodies.

​

Whilst I have a real passion for helping those struggling with the types of issues I suffered, I also work with people of all ages and abilities. Whether you're just starting out on your journey to a healthier lifestyle, already a keen fitness enthusiast, or just looking to introduce a bit of variety to your current exercise regime, I can tailor a fitness plan to suit you so please do get in touch.

The benefits of exercise stretch way beyond being able to fit into your favourite pair of jeans. When it comes to exercising, particularly after suffering a cancer diagnosis, the latest research is incredibly positive. Studies have consistently shown that “physical activity at any point in time appears to be beneficial for breast cancer survivors”.

 

Exercise lowers the levels of oestrogen in your body, releases ‘happy’ hormones, fights anxiety and fatigue, and leaves you in a stronger position to tolerate any future treatment. More importantly it gives you a sense of purpose, a feeling of regaining control, and the icing on the cake is that you might just end up getting back in those jeans!

About me
1:1 & Joint Sessons

1:1 Sessions
&
Joint Sessions

If you're not feeling very body confident, childcare costs or travel logistics are preventing you from getting to a gym, or you just want the ultimate convenience of working out at home, a 1:1 session is the right choice for you. 

​

All sessions are tailored to your personal needs and goals with a bespoke training plan. We can work out in your home or outside, whichever is your preference. I will provide all the equipment, we just need enough space for you to move about and lie down.

​

Why not add a bit of competitive fun into the sessions and workout with a friend or significant other?

​

'Ditch the Desk'

Designed to â€‹fit into your lunch hour (or between Zoom/Teams calls!), these sessions will work you hard for a shorter period of time, and leave you energized for the second half of your day.

​

I can run these individually or as joint sessions (with a friend or partner) and I will provide all the equipment needed.

Online Training

If work and family commitments mean that you are left with adhoc windows in your day to work out, then face to face online training could be the right fit for you.

 

After an initial meeting to discuss what you want to achieve, what fitness equipment you have at home and when you have the time to dedicate to fitness, I can plan a bespoke program for you and keep you on track via regular fun and focused Zoom sessions.

Pink Ribbon Rehab

Pink Ribbon Rehab

The Pink Ribbon Breast Cancer Rehab course supports you as you transition through the various stages of your recovery, counteracting the effects of surgery and treatments.

 

As a qualified Pink Ribbon Post Operative Rehab Specialist, I will help you regain range of movement, strength and mobility, and in doing so hopefully your confidence in your body and what it can do. 

 

The Pink Ribbon sessions are open to clients who have had recent surgery, as well as those who had surgery and treatments some years ago. To feel the greatest benefit from this class, I recommend a course of at least 6 sessions. The consultation session for this course costs £30, due to the level of information which may need to be discussed.

Testimonials

Testimonials

Having not set foot in a gym for over 20 years, I was anxious at the thought of going again and had no idea where to begin.

I had no reason for concern though as Cat is incredibly knowledgeable. She showed me how everything worked and which exercises and equipment would be most suited to me.

Cat's friendly yet assertive manner is exactly what I needed. I cannot recommend Cat highly enough.
