About Fit2loveLife
Helping you feel strong, mobile and capable, so you can keep doing the things you love.
My business is called Fit2loveLife because that, in the end, is what all of this is about. Getting you fit, so you can love your life.
​
Not fit for the sake of being fit. Not fit for a number on a scale. Fit so you can maintain your strength. Fit so you can walk along the beach without your hips complaining. Fit so you can play the back 9 without your back giving up. Fit so you can pick up your grandchildren, garden all afternoon, paddleboard on a calm morning, and live the way you actually want to live.
​
Maintaining strength and mobility as we age is one of the most important foundations for longevity and quality of life. Everything I offer is designed with this in mind.
​It's about building a way to live, for life. Strength and movement woven into your day. Food that nourishes and tastes good. A body that keeps up with the life you want.
Who I work with
Mostly, the people who train with me are navigating the way the body changes as we age.
Some are returning to exercise after a long break. Some are women in midlife who realise that what ussed to work in their 30s no longer does. Some are golfers who want to keep playing well for years to come. Some are coming back from injury or surgery.
Most are just real people, with real lives, who want to feel better, move well and stay strong in their bodies
​
I understand how different the body can feel through different stages in life. I am 57, post menopausal. I have been through the ups and downs of perimenopause , I have had injuries, surgery dealing with my arthritis.
I know that training, staying strong & mobile, practicing yoga, walking my dog enables me to continue to compete in golf, and to go about my day to day life.
My experience allows me to support people in a way that is practical, adaptable, and grounded in real life.

How I Work
There's no template. Everyone is different, so every plan is different. We build it around your body, your goals and the life it has to fit into. Strength, mobility, breath, balance, nutrition, the way you live. All of it is connected, and all of it matters
​
Living in the Algarve is the perfect setting for the life I help my clients build. I'm on the golf course as often as I can be, walking the cliffs with Billie my dog, paddleboarding when the water's right, cooking food that's good for the body and the soul.
​
It's all part of the same thing. Move well. Eat well. Do the things that bring you joy. That's fit to love life.​​​
Four Foundations of Health & Wellbeing
I believe that health and wellbeing is very much an integrated approach and is built on strong foundations. Each one supports the others.
Sleep
Sleep is the underrated foundation of everything else.
Without it, training does less, food choices get worse, and recovery slows.
We work with it, not against it.
Move
Strong, mobile, balanced, breathing well.
Movement that works for your body and fits into your real life.
Not a regime, a way of living., longevity and confidence.
Mindset
The story you tell yourself about your body, your age, what's possible. We work on that too.
Capable is a mindset before it's a fact.
Nourish
Food that nourishes the body and supports the work you're doing.
Real food, real meals, no diets, no rules that don't fit your life.
