Review: KARKOA sports bag (or how to let the Wildcat out of the bag..!)

July 8, 2016 by wildcatfitness

It is a running joke amongst my friends that “Wildcat loves a backpack!” because regardless of my outfit, my workout or my schedule that day, you can pretty much guarantee that wherever I am, I’ll have a rucksack on my back. As a busy Personal Trainer, Instructor and Blogger I have to carry a lot of “stuff” with me on a daily basis – at least one full change of clothes to sweat in, sometimes another pair of trainers depending on my workout that day, my iPad for client session plans and admin on the go, water bottles, toiletries, leads for charging….. so yes, Wildcat loves a backpack because it’s normally carrying her life in a bag! So when French company KARKOA asked me to try out their brand new Sports Smartbag, I (and the entire contents of my backpack) couldn’t wait to give it a go…..

So just what makes the sports bag KARKOA so unique compared to all the other gym bags on the market?

It’s cool to be Kind

January 17, 2016 by wildcatfitness

As a regular reader of my Blog, or follower of mine on social media, I hope it would seem apparent that my fitness journey is one in the name of self improvement and that my ethos behind setting up a Personal Training business is to help people become the best possible versions of themselves. But as well as the physical, what about the personal? Do you ever stop and think: I wonder if I could try to be not only a better person, but a kinder person too? As well as looking and feeling fantastic, wouldn’t it be amazing to know that one act at a time you could be helping, supporting or even showing others their true value? This is a concept that hugely appeals to me – as much as I love my City, London can also be a cruel, rude and unforgiving place. So when Kind Snacks approached me about taking part in their 2016 Kind Challenge to help make London a kinder place one healthy snack at a time, there was no way I could refuse.

MySportsPhilosophy

September 10, 2015 by wildcatfitness

As more and more of us start to embrace a healthy lifestyle and fitness becomes part of our daily routine, so more and more activewear brands are emerging to help us look and feel good whilst keeping fit. One such brand is Sports Philosophy, and whilst their collection looks super stylish and feels incredibly comfortable to work out in, they are also much more than an sportswear brand and are committed to corporate responsibility and in particular the fight against child labour.

Their philosophy is, in their own words: “to combine for-profit and non-profit to support a social cause and develop a business model that offers a long term and sustainable path to supporting social change”. Therefore when co-founder Stella Heng asked me to take part in their amazing “MySportsPhilosophy” I campaign I jumped at the chance. They created the campaign as part of a response to some of the negativity and scrutiny that the fitness industry has faced over the past few weeks and to encourage those of us in the industry to share our core values, mottos and motivation. So, what is “MySportsPhilosophy”? #MySportsPhilosophy
