About Me...
I live in Peterborough and after a long career with a blue chip company I took a voluntary release package and so enjoyed a really long career break. This allowed me to fully focus on Powerlifting training and competitions.
I've recently started working in Cambridge and after the building of a new fitness centre on-site, I plan to start a Powerlifting Club there - how exciting!
I train at Fengate Health & Fitness Centre; a well-equipped gym with a great atmosphere and the right attitude! I train when I can with my training partner who helps keep me focused and motivated as well as getting plenty of good coaching from gym owner Dave; an ex-Powerlifter and overall great-guy!
I discovered Powerlifting whilst on holiday at one of my favourite destinations; Club La Santa - a sports resort in Lanzarote where a chance meeting in a gym with 2 World Champions convinced me I'd be a natural given my years of gym training and apparent strength for a fairly light woman on the short-side(!).
I'm still hugely passionate about my need to keep fit and healthy and love the focus of training towards a goal i.e.competitions; there really is nothing like the surge of adrenaline a competition gives you!
Ask me if you're interested in getting into Powerlfiting. It's an excellent competitive sport since it's all about relative strength; regardless of your size and bodyweight, it's ultimately all down to you and what you're capable of lifting.....and more than anything it's about what your genetics have given you, what you've trained it to do and how you combine the two naturally!
