In Studio Personal Training
A welcoming space where you can focus on you
My studio is designed to help you feel comfortable while building strength and improving the way you move.
We will discuss your goals.
Maybe you want better balance, more flexibility, increase strength, get better at your sport, coming back from injury , whatever it is we will shape your sessions around what works for you.
Strength and movement is so important for our day to day lives. Going to the gym and lifting weights is not only for men in gyms, it something we all need to do especially as we age. It is often said that muscle holds the key to longevity.
One of the barriers is not knowing what to do and that is where a trainer comes in . I will work with you to ensure the training you do is what your body needs and is capable of. No two training programs are the same as everyone is different, their bodies have different histories, injuries and movement patterns.
My Training Philosophy
I have been a trainer for 20 years, and during that time I have seen fads come and go, I have witnessed how my body changes and responds to different training approaches , and how these need to be changed as I age.
I am a huge advocate for keeping our bodies strong and mobile as we age. Keeping our strength as we age is vital to lonegity and for our day to day lives.
I work with you , providing a training plan that is unique to you. whether you are overcoming injury, training for an event, wanting to maintain independence as you age, build strength and mobility, weightless - whatever your driver is, we will work together so you can achieve your goals. We will also look at your lifestyle to ensure your training is sustainable and most importantly enjoyable .
Training needs to be a non negotiable part of our week , it is not a quick fix, it is a key cornerstone in our daily life.

Importance of Training as we Age
Age is not a barrier to training. The vast majority of Fit2loveLife clients are between 40-83. As we age it is even more important to keep our bodies strong and supple.
We start losing muscle in our 30s, and as well as getting weaker, our mobility decreases and risk of falls increases. Ensuring we keep them moving and stretched. Maintaining our muscle mass, keeping our core strong, our balance and moving our joints are crucial to ensure we can move well as we age.
Muscle helps with longevity, keeps us strong, reduces injury. Muscle is medicine and it is so important for our health that we keep it as we age.
It is never too late to start training, whether you are 30, 50 or 80 years old you can benefit from a regular training program.
“My journey with Ann has been brilliant and she is fantastic in working with my needs - combining the right amount of cardio, strength training, mobility and stretching. That is why she has been working with me for over 7 years. Ann truly understands what is necessary to help me meet my goals to enjoy life.
She has been very good at developing and executing a training regime that works towards my specific targets which we adapt as necessary throughout the year. Her expertise across the whole range of sports training, yoga, nutrition and fitness life coaching is exceptional and gives me the confidence that I am being coached and trained by a true professional.
She is always at hand for training and nutrition advice when needed and is really good in making me feel motivated and ready for the challenges of life.."

"Training with Ann has vastly improved my wellbeing, fitness, strength and balance, and as a bonus l have toned up and lost 10kg. Never felt better!"

"Christopher and I started circuit training classes during lockdown from our home in Luxembourg, via zoom with Ann, as new had both recently had surgery (Christopher hip replacement and me knee replacement) and wanted to regain mobility as quickly as possible. Her knowledge and encouragement have made a huge difference, and both our surgeons and physio are thrilled with our progress. I can highly recommend both her circuit and yoga classes for all ages and genders. And if you cant get to Burgau you can do classes from the comfort of your own home. No travelling and in the current climate covid safe. High recommended and it gives me a twice weekly Burgau fix! "
