Successful programme management of the BT Centre Gym, commercially procured for permanent BT Employees. At its peak this gym had over 500 members and an annual EBITDA of over £100K. 2006: Co-ordinated a refurbishment of the facility. This involved rearranging the space with new equipment and an uplift in the physicality of the space, new equipment and wood flooring.Significant growth in membership and usage meant a contract tender by year end went smoothly. 10 year extension under Bladerunner Limited and later acquired by Nuffield Health in Nov 2010.Implementation of all H+S policies whilst ensuring that employees have a fun and inclusive environment by providing a personal touch to the gym.The facility was not without challenges, on four occasions it experienced closure by leaking in the neighbouring plant area. It recovered each time in a quick lead time.Additional services include wellness talks at team meetings, lifestyle management, sports specific conditioning, nutritional advice, boxing, personal training and outdoor sessions.Extremely well networked across all LOBs I collaborated with the Health and Wellbeing team in BT, continuously striving to bring that relationship ever closer. Supported charity initiatives such as the Gradventure, Sport Relief and the Supporters Club - all of which have helped employees from different departments to integrate and network in a different way.2015: Another successful refurbishment and 7 year contract extension between BT and Nuffield Health. Since the 2020 coronavirus pandemic there had been lengthy periods of closure and limited scope to run at a functional capacity. In order to support the business with keeping the workforce fit, healthy and positive I volunteered to stay connected and recorded motivational videos clips and exercise advice for those that valued it.With a move of head office and no plans to provide a fixed gym offering the contract ceased and gym closed. End of an era.

FITABILITY was one of the first totally independent Personal Training studios in London where you could train in total privacy with a specialist PT and no one else. Imagine walking into a boutique space where you can choose your music and be led by an expert with all the equipment that matters and no nonsense?All of these things without membership costs and the judgemental environment of a communal gym. It thrived on enriching people who would never consider taking up structured exercise.The studio ran from 5am to 9pm fully equipped for working professionals from the Canary Wharf area, what's more a free espresso shot and kit wash offering gave the local clientele more reasons to come back!I was particularly proud of being there at its inception and for the formative years in partnership with its creator and owner Lisa. I thought the name, brand logo and designs were incredibly strong and still tells a story. It grew steadily and successfully for 10 years by offering something specific and different to the conveyor belt gyms out there. Since then private PT studios became a new normal and the niche element was lost as the market became saturated. From then on it was just a matter of remaining busy and still desiring the gruelling hours of operation.The studio business came to a natural close in 2019 and upon it dissolving the name Fitability continued only by way of a park based exercise class that I run in my local area.

Fitability (Pilates and Beauty) Limited traded as '​'Boutique Beauty, Pilates and Dance'' - a side business to work alongside but trading separately to Fitability Limited. After successfully acquiring another unit at Westferry Studios in October 2012 we set this studio up for Pilates, Yoga, Dance and Ballet classes for adults and children. The teachers we used were of a very high quality and the smaller class numbers in a light spacious room ensured that you enjoyed better attention to detail in a non-judgmental environment whilst cutting the cost of gym membership.Alongside this beautiful space we had a treatment room for spray tanning, contour wrapping and G5 massage to target cellulite. These were perfect tools ahead of a holiday or dress fitting. For an extra cosmetic benefit we had a stand-up sunbed with the correct regulation safety tubes and a great selection of tanning creams allowing clients to boost Vitamin D levels and create a natural tan. Whilst this venture struggled to gain momentum we did manage to get considerable cross-sales/referrals back to our flagship Fitability personal training studio and outdoor bootcamp classes.Fitability Limited followed suit and took similar classes in the PT studio on the weekends so this venture proved very useful for improving our profile, building our customer database and improving SEO visibility to the local catchment area.

This was the college that I had 'graduated' from for fitness with completion of my Level 2 Gym Instructor.The tutors were so enamoured by my depth of knowledge, passion and enthusiasm that upon becoming certified they offered me a job at the college gym where i had done my training and assessments.Basic managerial duties of the college gym facility and assistance with timetabling lesson slots.Unlike conventional gyms this was often used as educational venue for students of sport studies.Further to the standard responsibilities I was a useful extra to the class content, from demonstrating exercises and teaching points to mock assessing students before their official examinations.It was a wonderfully diverse environment with a broach church of BAME and ESOL students to Multi Faith and TEFL Tutors. It really opened my eyes to the possibility of becoming a tutor or or student mentor in the future. Unfortunately the gym was subject to closure as the campus underwent systematic renovation over the summer and my need to make a decent step into the wider fitness industry beckoned.
