From Norfolk to Sussex in 2015, there was a gradual shift in direction.Personal Training took on a more holistic approach, quite literally!Initially, I joined the seafront Gym Group in Brighton. There, I introduced kettlebell sessions, beachside circuit training, and even conducted their first Yoga class, amidst the clanging dumbbells. It was during this period that I also made the decision to launch the Everyday Fitness & Wellbeing Podcast. https://anchor.fm/SeanBeFitTransitioning from the gym environment, I continued to balance childcare responsibilities with an enlightening education in real food, sustainability, and the intricacies of starting a business. This was possible by becoming a part of the team at Harriet's of Hove. I joined them from their prelaunch phase, all the way through challenging trading times. My role within this small independent business not only allowed me to retrain as a Pilates teacher but also gave me the opportunity to craft my own holistic blend of Yoga, Pilates, and Kettlebell training.However, as among other challenges, the Pandemic flipped the script...After a hiatus of 20 years, I found myself back within the NHS.Fast forwarding to the present day, I'm still with the Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust, albeit in a part-time capacity.
