Online Training: Aswell as face to face 121 Personal Training, I also train my clients online (which is great for fitting in better with your work/life balance from the comfort of your own home) this has also proven handy for my clients with children, if anything happens and they cannot make it to the gym, they can keep their slot time and simply hop online with me and train at home instead so they do not miss their session. I also train clients outdoors in Penarth and Porthcawl.  Equipment for outdoor training is provided by Shapewell

Porthcawl Outdoors: Using the beaches for Surfers, Paddleboarders, Kite Surfers, Body Boarders and Windsurfers – working on fitness, stamina, balance, strength and agility to improve and keep doing what you love

As an ex Competition Figure Skater and Body Builder along with my recent sports of Surfing and Snowboarding, I have extensive knowledge in core stability and balance work, building muscle and skulpting the perfect you, also shredding the fat to show off that body you have worked so hard to gain.

I founded Shapewell in 2002 whilst I was studying and working for UWIC Sports Facilities (now Cardiff Met). I made Shapewell my full time business in 2005 when i left UWIC to go fully self employed and the company has moved from strength to strength.

My Personal Training services cover all areas of Fitness, Periodised Sport Programs, Indoor and Outdoor Training, Sport Specific Training, GP Referrals, Nutrition, Fat loss & Tone, Injuries & Rehab, Body Building, Pilates, Pre & Post Pregnancy, 40+ Fitness…. the list goes on
