We had a chat with Lifestyle’s newest PT Pels to see what makes her tick and find out about a new 8 week challenge she has starting soon!
Why did you decide to become a fitness trainer?
I enjoyed working out and living a healthy lifestyle, I decided it was something I was passionate about and something I wanted to pursue as a career.
Do you have fitness goals for yourself?
What do you love about your job?
I love that you get to help guide and support others to not only reach their goals but to educate them about the importance of living a healthy lifestyle.
How important is nutrition to you?
Nutrition is extremely important to me as it is ‘the key’ to creating different physiques and ultimately determine what kind of life you will live.
What is a popular exercise you give to clients and why?
Most often, I give clients compound exercises such as squats and dead-lifts to start off with as compound movements are multi-joint movements. This means they use more than one muscle at a time. Compound movements are more efficient than isolated movements (such as bicep curls or tricep extension) as isolated exercises only work one muscle at a time.
Your favourite healthy snack?
Chobani yogurt + 1 scoop protein
Your favourite treat snack?
Protein balls
If you could invite three people to dinner who would it be?
My partner, Kai Greene and Arnold Schwarzenegger
Best piece of coaching advice you can offer?
Don’t be afraid to invest money into a knowledgeable personal trainer who you click with. Knowledge is key and they will have plenty of it to help you succeed.
Tell us something about yourself that we don’t know?
I became a personal trainer at age 17.
What do you do for fun?
Join me on our ‘8 week Summer Body Challenge’ or I look forward to catching up with you at Lifestyle Health Clubs! Email: [email protected] or enquire at reception.
I love trying new cuisines, fishing, playing basketball and hanging with family.
