With areas of expertise ranging from boxing and core strength, to post natal, nutrition and max interval training, our team of trainers have what you need.
I have over 20 years experience in the fitness industry and have worked all over the North West as a personal trainer, studio instructor, sports coach, lecturer and leisure club manager. I ran my own personal training business for 7 years before becoming the Director of Vibe. My specialist training areas are diet and nutrition, weight management, outdoor training, sport specific training and advanced strength training. My clients include Gemma Atkinson. I regularly take part in mountain bike marathons, road bike challenges, and triathlons.
I have been working in the fitness industry for 12 years since completing my Diploma in Sport. I also have qualifications in Sports Massage and Nutrition & Weight Management. I specialise in group exercise instruction and Bootcamps.

I am a Level 2 ABAE qualified boxing coach and tutor with 6 years experience in amateur boxing.

I have also ran specialised fitness development camps for children and adults, and corporate team building training sessions. At Vibe I specialise in boxing classes, boot camps and 1 to 1 boxing coaching. I like to develop the techniques of those involved in all my training, rather than just focusing on making them sweat.

I have practiced yoga now for over 10 years and offer 1 to 1 Yoga and Group Yoga training. I started to deepen my interest around 2009 after a stay at an Ayurveda retreat in India. I achieved the British Wheel Foundation course in 2012, developing a daily home practice, completing Foundation level 2 in 2013. I have since completed a Yoga Alliance accredited 200 hour teacher training course with Yoga Campus and specialist restorative yoga training with world renowned Judith Lasater. The yoga I deliver considers the needs and limitations of the individual, using yoga asana focusing on postural alignment and mobilisation supported by breathing techniques to build strength and flexibility.
Over the last 30 years you probably had more chance of seeing me in a rowing boat or on a rowing machine than anywhere else. Since leaving Salford University I have had an extensive career in IT whilst rowing at elite club level reaching a final at Henley Royal Regatta and winning many Natiional Championship medals. For the past 15 years, after qualifying as a level 3 rowing coach, I have been able to indulge my passion for sport and physical fitness as Head coach at both Salford and Manchester University Boat Clubs. More recently I have become a Les Mills GRIT, Insanity and Spin instructor and level 3 certified PT.My mission and drive is to help people take their fitness journey further than they thought possible.
