I think it would be fair to say that people who know me well would describe me as both motivated and fearless – I’m not one to back down from a challenge, nor am I someone who gives up very easily. But on 30th April I faced one of the biggest mental and physical challenges…

The Wildcat takes on Abseil for the Animals!
If you’re a regular Wildcat Fitness Blog reader or social media follower you’ll know I don’t shy away from a physical challenge. Over the past few years I’ve gone from not being able to support my own body weight to push ups and heavy deadlifts, and from barely being able to run for the bus…
Secrets of a Personal Trainer
Not a single week seems to go by these days without me getting at least a couple of emails or Direct Messages from people who are thinking about studying to become, or who are in the process of qualifying as a Personal Trainer asking my advice about starting in the industry. Firstly, I am flattered…
Conquer the urban jungle with new sports couture brand LEMA
The world of activewear has never been both as popular and widely consumed as it is now, and so for new brands making an impact on such a saturated market can be hard. However, when a collection fuses high fashion and high performance, it definitely has my attention. So I was intrigued when I first…
#nutsabouthealth with healthy hangout Squirrel
There are many reasons that I feel truly blessed to live in London – to me one of the most vibrant cities in the world. One such reason is that you are never far away from somewhere to eat healthily and eat well – from raw to vegan to paleo and everything in between, us…

It seems barely a month goes by now without the launch of a brand new Fitness app, and so when the CEO of Fitssi, the new social training app which encourages women to #nevertrainalone asked me to meet her so she could explain how it works and why they are different I was intrigued. When…
#SantanderCycles Spin Up Summer session
Confession time…. up until yesterday morning I had never been on a Santander Cycle! Despite living in London almost 15 years and spending my life dashing from place to place I have just never got around to using London’s self-service bike-sharing scheme for short journeys, despite there being docking stations in so many convenient locations for…
Healthy, beautiful, delicious: my favourite new London Brunch spot!
I’m not really sure when the custom of Brunch (quite literally a cross between Breakfast and Lunch) became a “thing” here in London…. but safe to say it’s a pretty massive “thing” and the choice now for Brunch spots here in our lovely City is seemingly endless. So when I heard that “deliciously different” Soho…
Guest Blog post: Is Boxing for everyone?
Back in 2012 when I first set up Wildcat Fitness UK it was just me and a handful of clients…. fast forward almost four years and I am both blessed and very grateful to be able to say that I’ve trained and continue to train dozens of amazing people week in week out, and that…
