I'm the founder of SK Empowered Training, and for over nine years I've been helping women of all ages build confidence, rediscover the joy of movement, and regain strength—especially through pregnancy, postnatal recovery, menopause, or after surgery. I take a holistic approach to fitness, focusing on physical strength, mental well-being, and community.

 

At my studio, you'll find everything from strength and kettlebell training to boxing, street dance, and pre/postnatal classes, plus a children's academy offering musical theatre and dance. SK Empowered is more than a gym—it's a space where everyone feels supported, included, and inspired to thrive.

​

• Level 3 Personal Trainer

• Level 1 England Boxing Coach

I’ve been training in gyms for around 5 years now. I started out just really enjoying training and found that I naturally loved helping others along the way.

 

That’s what led me to complete my qualifications in:

Level 2 Planning and Delivering Gym-Based Exercise

Level 3 Planning and Delivering Personal Training

 

I’ve also gained:

Level 2 Swim England in Teaching Aquatics

Level 1 England Boxing

 

My full-time job is as a Working Manager at a nursery, and I’ve been in childcare for over 20 years. It’s a role I love, and helping people — whether it’s children or adults — has always been a big part of who I am.

 

In my spare time, I enjoy going to the gym, running, swimming, and taking part in different events like Hyrox, Nuclear Fit, and the Sussex Masters Championships in swimming. I love watching people thrive, push past their limits, and achieve things they never thought possible — and if I can be part of that journey, even better!

I’ve been part of the female fitness world for over 9 years - first as a client, where I experienced the challenges, breakthroughs, and lifestyle changes many women face, and now as a coach.

 

That journey inspired me to qualify as a Level 3 Personal Trainer, Nutritionist, Women's Wellness Coach, Life Coach and

Neuro-linguistic Programming Practitioner.

​

I specialise in working with women on both their fitness and self-worth, supporting them through the different stages of life - from body confidence struggles to mindset shifts, from rebuilding after setbacks to stepping into their full strength.

​

Alongside my work here, I run CompleteSHE, a coaching community dedicated to helping women break free from dieting cycles, rebuild confidence, and create balance in their health and wellbeing.

​

Fitness for me isn’t just about workouts — it’s about helping women feel strong, confident, and capable in every area of their lives.

I also lead our Run Club, supporting all abilities to grow stronger, fitter, and more confident, one stride at a time.
