Fika is a Swedish term to describe reconnecting (usually over coffee and cake with friends). The idea of reconnecting with ourselves via exercise is a strong ethos I have and so FI:KA felt like a good fit. The opportunity to use exercise to take a pause and reflect, to better ourselves at a personal level is not often seen in the personal training space.

Honestly, I believe that exercise and moving your body with joy is for everyone. It doesn’t matter about your experience, gender, size, shape or goals. I’m here to try to help you navigate this journey. Having said that, I believe the relationship between coach and client is of the utmost importance and so it is important that we click in working together. If you have complex medical history or needs, then we need to explore the right coaching relationship for you, but every person deserves to have an initial conversation.

No. I am so passionate about finding exercises for everyone regardless of their experience. It’s why I start with a fundamentals session, so that I can build a plan that is truly personalised to you. It can be intimidating when you are just starting out, but it is the perfect time to hire a coach to help you on your way.

Personal Training is your standard gym training. I will train you face-to-face, however many times a week you would like. Coaching continues outside of our face-to-face sessions with extra workouts for you to complete in your own time and further guidance around nutrition, recovery and wellness.

Both Personal Training and Coaching can be very powerful tools. If you’ve had a bad experience, it could be for a number of reasons that are unique to you and that experience. We will work together to understand what didn’t work for you and how we can address that this time around so there is no stop-starting.

All prices are charged on a monthly basis and start from £225. Each package is bespoke to you, so as we discuss what you’re looking for in your free consultation, we’ll determine how many sessions you are looking for and whether you are looking for PT or Coaching and the price will be discussed at the end of the call.

Yes! The packages are designed to give you the flexibility you need to move around. Lot’s of people don’t know exactly what they’re looking for when they’re starting out so this ensure you can move around as you need to.

I design my services to be long term. I don’t believe in quick fixes and so usually, I council my clients to think about this as a minimum of three months to ensure you’re coming in with the right mindset. However, I am aware the circumstances change and so the cancellation period is one month.

The Fundamentals Session takes place before you have committed to working with me and gives you an opportunity to see the gym, meet me and we’ll go through a series of lightweight, low-impact movements to see how you move and give me a really good basis to build a personalised plan from. We’ll discuss your goals and desired package at the end of the session.

No problem. As the session is free and before any commitment, you can walk away without any cost.

I am passionate about our sessions being personalised to the individual and so the majority of my sessions are 1:1. However, if there are 2 people who have similar goals and movement, then there is an opportunity to work together on a 2:1 basis. I don’t run group training classes.

I train from GL52 Fitness, near the racecourse. There is free parking on-site.

Please wear athletic clothing, trainers and bring a water bottle!

If this is an existing injury before we start training together, then we’ll discuss all of this in your consultation to decide if I am the right trainer for you. If you sustain an injury during our training, we’ll assess what a recovery plan looks like for you, we can refer if you need more support e.g. physio and pause our sessions if we cannot train.

I can help with weight loss and we will look at all things around diet exercise to help you reach those goals, if that is what is desired.
