After months of hard work, big decisions (and lots of fun!), I am super excited about the launch of Giant Leap Training! Based out of Clapham, but operating around London, we offer bespoke personal training programmes that help busy people make fitness a core part of their schedule, without compromising other priorities.
Even with the best will in the world, shoe-horning exercise into an already jam-packed life can be an epic ask. When I worked long weeks in the City, spare time was family time - and trying to pull off a heavy gym session at 6am or 9pm was, frankly, all too often a challenge too far! With two children and a demanding job, I realised that the only way I could really maximise the time I spent exercising was by doing it with an expert, who could get the best out of me.
And it was working with a personal trainer that inspired me to take my own Giant Leap and make a massive career change by setting up my own personal training business. Having previously worked in policy and public affairs, this was a pretty big shift - but one I have absolutely loved!
It's not just the training, it's the getting to know people: their goals; what motivates them; what they enjoy (and, just as importantly, what they cannot bear!); these are hugely important and thoroughly enjoyable parts of the job. Seeing clients experience results they have always wanted to achieve but have thus far been out of reach - and knowing you have helped them to get there - is what makes this job so rewarding.
As we grow this business, I hope to use this blog to provide you - and anyone else who might stumble upon the site - with useful tips for your fitness; ideas on the smalls steps that will make the Giant Leaps a veritable walk in the park!
Happy training, people!
Amy
