My parents were the motivational forces in my early life, bringing my sister and I up to believe that if we worked hard and believed in ourselves we could achieve anything. As a child, I loved sport, any sport. I was active all of the time. Hardly surprising that I went on to be a P.E. teacher for the first working years of my life. However, I wasn’t completely fulfilled teaching and pursued a career in personal training and set up my own business in 1995.

Gladiators Experience

"Anything is possible"

My dad was an avid fan of the hit T.V. show ‘Gladiators’ and he managed to persuade me to apply to be a contender. After all, what harm could it do? To my sheer amazement, out of 23,000 applicants, and after a grueling fitness and camera test, I was called two weeks later to be told that I was in!

This experience was the catalyst that really took my personal training business to the next level. I had great success training hundreds of clients to achieve their health and fitness goals. My philosophy doesn’t just involve the physical aspect of training; I concentrate on changing the way a person thinks, encouraging them to adopt a healthier mindset in order to make positive changes to their lifestyle.

How Choose U Coaching Evolved

"Go get them"

In 2008 I lost my Dad to Cancer. Having always been such a positive, ‘go get them’ kind of person, I was shocked when I started suffering from health anxiety. It was only when I realized it was dictating my life that I decided to do something about it.

We only get one chance at life and all too often it passes us by. I accepted the guidance of a brilliant coach who helped me to find the confidence and power to take control of my life again. This experience gave me the inspiration I needed to re-train and set up a new company, Choose U Coaching.

I now love helping individuals to gain control and the confidence to move forward in their lives.

Watch the outtakes!

My new motto for everyone I coach and work with is:

"Chase your dreams, chase what makes you happy, move in different directions, if it doesn’t work move on and most importantly, enjoy yourself whilst you are chasing."

History

"Dreading the ‘Empty Nest’"

I launched Choose U in 2013 and started off coaching individuals on a 1-1 basis from an office in Wilmslow. It has been a fantastic four years for Choose U and I still enjoy this coaching very much. I have now extended my services. I have contracts in schools delivering emotional health and resilience workshops to students from all secondary year groups. And, in the corporate world I run bespoke emotional health and wellbeing programmes for teams of employees and managers.

The biggest challenge for me personally has been the looming reality that my first child Ben is due to take his A-levels and move away this September. Honestly, I was dreading the ‘Empty Nest’ and decided to use some of my own strategies that I have encouraged clients with over the years.

I decided to get a distraction for myself, a puppy we named Pepper. Having never had a dog before, distraction is an understatement. However, she has been the inspiration for my new website and stars on the front page.

I am excited for the next four years…
