I specialise in achieving fitness goals through lifting weights. Why?
Lose weight faster
A study from Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research found incorporating at least two days of strength training for every one of cardio will burn through significantly more calories than an entirely steady-state cardio regime alone.
The reason? While endurance training mainly targets type 1 muscle fibres, strength sessions target larger type 2 fibres, which use up more of your energy, raising your metabolic rate as it raids your fat stores.
Have more energy
Spend a few hours quickly bossing the weights room each week and you'll have 20% more energy all day long, according to researchers at the University of Georgia. Why? Lifting weights delivers oxygen and nutrients to your tissues and helps your cardiovascular system work more efficiently.
And when your heart and lungs work more efficiently, you have more energy - simples!
Be happier!
Researchers from the University of Alabama found that people who performed three weight workouts a week significantly improved their measures of calmness and overall mood over six months. It’s all thanks to endorphins; the feel-good chemicals released to ease your body during the physical strain of lifting weights.
Have more confidence
According to 40 trials published in Archives of Internal Medicine, clocking over an hour a week in the weights room is enough to raise your confidence levels and quell symptoms of worry by 20%. Need more convincing? Another study from the Journal of Health Psychology found that the act of lifting weights alone is enough to make you feel much better about your body image.
Sleep better
The National Sleep Foundation of America says that the more vigorous the exercise (with lifting weights being the most intense), the better you sleep. In fact, a study published in the journal Mental Health and Physical Activity found men aged 18-85 experienced a 65% improvement in their quality of sleep if they had at least three sessions a week in the weights room.
Think smarter
Exercise boosts hormones like BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor) that stimulates neurogenesis, the formation of new brain cells. And that’s not all: an intense workout can actually boost the size of the hippocampus, your memory centre, according to the Georgia Institute of Technology.
Yes YOU can lift weights - if it’s your first time, we start small of course, but I promise you will AMAZE YOURSELF!

I'm a pain in the arse, but once I overcame the first hurdle she made me feel more confident in myself.”
