About Me

Hi, my name is Helen, aka the SixtyFit Coach. And yes, you have probably already guessed, I am sixty years old! 

I always thought of myself as fit and active. I exercised over the years, usually concentrating on one sport at a time; horse riding and tennis in my forties were followed by periods on and off belonging to a gym. I somehow lost my way, though. It all came to a head four years ago when I realised I could not even sit down comfortably cross legged. It was so painful, both physically and mentally. I was only fifty six years old! It was this experience that became the start of change for me, and when I took my very first steps towards becoming The SixtyFit Coach. Now I am training to do handstands! 

What does it mean to be fit, anyway? For me, feeling fit is all about living the optimum life possible for longevity. I want to be able to go about my daily activities with optimal performance, endurance and strength. I want to stay well, sleep well, and eat well. I want to stay mobile, and to be able to pick up and carry my grandchildren, to run and play with them, to take them out. Believe me, pushing children in a pram is a great resistance exercise! 

I look after myself; I have my own personal trainer. Our one-to-one sessions in the gym help me to focus on my own fitness levels and achieve my personal goals, as well as to develop my own expertise. I need to retain a high level of fitness to be the best personal trainer I can be for you. 

As your personal trainer, my passion is for everyone, no matter what their age, to take the opportunity to build strength and to move with ease, whatever that might mean for them and their body. I offer bespoke sessions. Whatever you decide, I can help you to feel stronger and ready for more. Our bodies are incredible feats of engineering, designed to support us for life, so why not take the first step and book a session with me today? Let’s see what we can achieve together!
