Pilates Trainer
What does a normal day entail?
My day usually starts at 6am to either wake my dogs by the river or assisting hydrotherapy clients at Aquaria. Following that I have an a swim for 75 minutes in a squad training sessions. Then off to to have a coffee and chat with friends before taking a Pilates class. I usually do some admin work while having lunch before my PT clients come for the afternoon. If I have an evening class, I go home after that and have dinner with my family.
Other days, I could be found working at the Aquaria as a Health and Fitness consultant, training in the pool, or doing weights.
