When I first started my fitness journey, I wanted nothing more than to be the smallest, skinniest version of myself - because that was all I knew.

​

I wanted to lose weight and I knew exercise would help that.

​

So I spent a lot of my early gym days on the stair master.

​

When I was eventually confident enough to go into the weights area I spent a lot of time doing HIIT style workouts​ and I was fixated on how many calories were burnt on my watch.

​

In 2018, my friend asked me if I wanted to run the Manchester Simply Health 10k for charity.

​

I definitely went into it with a very naive way of thinking “how hard can it be?”

​

I remember finding it so so hard, but the sense of accomplishment at the end made me realise how much more I could be achieving.

​

It definitely lit a spark inside me that changed how I viewed fitness for good.

​

My mindset TOTALLY transformed when I started focusing on performance based goals.

​

I now exercise to challenge myself - not punish myself.

​

I see fitness and health as a way to personally develop every single day​ and I am passionate about helping other women achieve the same.
 
From living a very calorie controlled mindset​, I now see food as fuel, and the key component to everything I have achieved so far.

​

I help women every single day:

• Feel stronger than they ever have done before

• Feel confident in their bodies for the first time in years

• Understand correct and sustainable nutrition for life

• Develop a healthy relationship with diet and exercise

• Challenge themselves to complete their first fitness event or race 

​

All the women inside the Academy live by the EMA mantra, they want a body that is Fit For Purpose.

​

A body that is fit, just as much as it looks fit.
