I joined Winners as a member in 2023. As a busy mum of two young boys, I needed a space where I could take some time for myself and quieten the noise in my busy, anxious mind.

I joined on a six-week trial with no real expectation of sticking around because whilst I’m an active person, I’d never been particularly consistent in a gym environment, and I’d certainly never felt confident lifting weights.

But I quickly fell in love with both strength training and the community at Winners. Over the next two years, it became much more than a place to exercise. Strength training and the people around me helped me through a really tough couple of years, and I found myself feeling stronger, more confident and more comfortable in my own skin.

As my own strength and confidence grew, I started thinking about what I wanted from my career. I’ve always loved helping people see their own potential, so becoming a PT felt like a natural next step.

I completed my Fitness Instructor qualification in 2025 and I’m now studying for my Level 3 Personal Trainer qualification alongside work and family life.

I’m particularly passionate about helping women realise that fitness doesn’t have to be about changing how their body looks. For me, it’s about becoming stronger, building confidence and resilience, and feeling like you can rely on yourself.

There’s something pretty special about going from being a member of Winners to now being one of their trainers, and I’m really excited to be able to help other women experience the same sense of strength, confidence and community that I found here.
