Hey, I’m Annabel
I began teaching fitness at 18 and love it (it’s been a few years!)
Personally, I’ve made many mistakes over the years and tried the latest fads…even the daft things. I was stuck on that low-carb diet like forever, stopped and as soon as a bit of weight crept up I ran straight back into the demands of Dr A! I’ve deprived and tried many new regimes. I once believed I was a certain blood type, followed the rules for that type and lost weight only to discover afterwards I actually wasn’t that blood group at all! I’ve gained weight and lost weight but after many years and study, I understand the importance of eating well and the invaluable benefits of a balanced and healthy diet to support your long-term health regardless of your aesthetics.
I’ve also been guilty of ignoring injuries in the past, I pushed through only to end up more in pain. However a few years ago I was experiencing significant constant pain and after exploration, I was diagnosed with degenerative osteoarthritis in both my hips and lower back plus a tear in the labrum (ouch) so I truly value the importance of movement, strength and sensible rest much more than I’d ever done before and with further education, I now focus on exercises that enhance your life, help to reduce pain and improve movement ability.
Over the years I’ve worked out hard, in younger years attained the unrealistic ‘Insta-Impressive’ physique and then backed off because I’d overdone things – felt disappointment as my body softened and heard people say I ‘needed’ to diet. But it was not sustainable nor healthy so I learnt that the very industry I loved had an ugly side! This astounded me because I wanted to help others feel better about themselves, but not by this type of pressure and thinking! I changed my approach and stopped worrying about what others thought – after all it’s none of my business! Thankfully from education, learning to appreciate my body and many more years of experience, I understand what’s truly important for a more balanced approach to life and living! So I’m here – a real normal fitness friend that understands a lot especially that you might be feeling scared to start something new and get out of your comfort zone but I come from a kind and supportive perspective not one of criticism (ever).
I’m more than just a plethora of certifications. I now know what works. That’s why I can help you. My knowledge comes from real-life experience, working with people just like you! Ax
