Who is The Fit Runner?
My name is Jess, and I am a newly certified personal trainer.
It has literally been blood, sweat and tears getting qualified as one due to still working full-time and long hours.
However, this has developed my time-management skills and reinforced my dedication and motivation, and means that I fully understand the demands of juggling life commitments along with the desire to maintain strength and fitness!
Often I find that websites don’t contain enough info about the person that you’re potentially going to be working with. So here’s a little info about me…
I am a proud fur mum to two beautiful kitties, Skyla my super cuddly Ragdoll and Lumi my rebel child who is a Maine Coon. They are my absolute world and truly spoiled.
Some of my hobbies include; spending time with friends and family (kitties included), bingeing on shows and films, I am a big movie buff! I occasionally draw, I love board games and I also really enjoy doing escape rooms. And of course going to the gym and swimming too.
So why did I decide to become a personal trainer? Well, I have been in my job for over 12 years. It has been demanding and challenging, and after a PTSD diagnosis I decided to look for a change of direction.
I started applying for various different roles, but I was merely applying for them to change my current situation. I found little or no enthusiasm for these jobs and I knew that they wouldn’t provide the job-satisfaction and fulfilment I was looking for.
And then I had a word with myself, I was really thinking about what I wanted to do in life and where I wanted to go and what I wanted out of a job. That’s when it hit me to train as a PT. I really enjoy fitness and I always wish I could do more of it, and the idea of working for myself and helping people really appealed to me. So I signed up and started training in September 2023.
I have since become fully qualified, and I am also in the process of learning to be a qualified Nutritionist. So watch this space for more information about getting fully customised workout AND meal plans!
