It's all about boxing

What do you love most about boxing? I love how it is such a high intensity whole body workout and how it forces you to be so aware of how you move your body in space. It’s not just a physical workout but a mental workout.

How did your journey into fitness start? I left primary school teaching to pursue fitness. Teaching sadly was not my passion, but fitness has always been so important to me and I want to share that love of exercise with others.

What do you consider your strength? My determination to always improve and consistency in that journey for self-improvement. For example, I always make sure I get my workouts in every single week, no matter what. I love learning too. I feel stuck when I’m not learning something new.

What would you say is your greatest accomplishment? Being able to make that transition from teaching to fitness. So many people tell me how risky the move was, but I am so glad I did it and so much more fulfilled as a result.

What inspires you? People who constantly face adversity in their day-to-day lives and yet still wake up every day and smash their health and fitness goals uncomplainingly.
