I believe in a well-rounded and varied fitness programme, to keep you engaged and evolving within our wellness routine. Exercises are derived from activities that you enjoy, from cycling to Pilates, or dance to martial arts. Bodyweight training is an underlying principle for many of the exercises, along with a range of equipment to suit your tastes and goals.
Training can be one-to-one (from £40) or semi-private (groups of two or three; from £23 p.p.), conducted at home or outdoors. Get in touch to find out about rates and discounts for multiple sessions.
Classes have the ability to keep us motivated, accountable to others and socially engaged while we exercise. Some of my classes are geared towards parents with little ones in tow, though anyone is welcome and encouraged to attend, with or without children. Classes range from cardio interval and strength training mixes, to flexibility training and Barre. Settings include outdoor options in scenic spots, whatever the weather, but a range of indoor options are available in local studios and community centres!
Since 2015, I have been organising annual 2-3 day wellness retreats in beautiful areas of Cornwall. These short breaks are a blend of relaxation time, spa use and treatments, optional fitness classes on the beach, delicious food and drink, surrounded by wonderful people and stunning surroundings. Past years, we've stayed at the Fistral Beach Hotel in Newquay, and in March 2025, we spent a weekend at the St. Moritz Hotel near Rock and Polzeath.
If you'd like to take part in a future retreat or would like a bespoke package created for you and a group of friends, get in touch and we'll make it happen!
All my life, I have been in a constant state of motion, whether through dance, fitness, or travel. A native of Washington, D.C., I began dancing at a young age, and my passion for jazz, ballet, and contemporary dance led me to pursue a career in fitness training. Outside of fitness, I studied Romance Languages and Literatures at Wesleyan University in Connecticut, travelling and studying in Spain, Italy and throughout Europe, and later managing programmes for other university students to take their education abroad.
When I began Fired Up Fitness in 2005 in Washington, DC, I thrived on the group dynamics in classes such as total body conditioning, cardio kickboxing, aerobics, stretch and Spinning®. Personal Training has always excited me, as I love the journey of helping someone grow to their strongest and healthiest self, all while getting to know them and their story. In more recent years, since having my own children and moving from London to Cornwall in 2011, some of my fitness classes have shifted to cater to parents with babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers in tow. At Buggy Burn, our kids play around us while we workout and everyone has a brilliant time. I love that the kids grow up with the understanding that exercise is fun, part of the routine and helps build friendships and communities. After the class is finished, we spill out onto the beach and spend time getting to know one another, discussing the highs, lows and inevitable mysteries of parenthood and child development, forging lasting bonds in the process.
