Hi, I'm Cat!
I’m a personal trainer with over 12 years of experience, specialising in strength training and indoor rowing.
I'm passionate about helping people reach their fitness goals and perform at their best. Explore my online and in-person coaching options to see how I can help you!
My passion for strength and conditioning has spanned over 20 years, making this career path a natural fit. I've specialised in barbell strength training and indoor rowing, focusing on combining the two for optimal results. I started taking indoor rowing seriously in 2016 and haven't looked back since! I also spent two years learning and competing in on-water rowing, which enriched my coaching career.
In 2023, I published my book, "Indoor Rowing Mastery: Unlocking Your Potential", which became a bestseller and is now sold in 14 countries. I also became a Master Trainer for British Rowing's Go Row Indoor scheme, where I train other coaches to teach indoor rowing effectively.
I've guided clients to impressive achievements, including world records, british records, and championship medals. I'm dedicated to helping clients exceed their expectations and push their limits. At PB Strength and Fitness Mentoring, where I offer in-person coaching, we regularly host client competitions and socials. A highlight is our annual lifting competition, a favourite among my clients. This event gives them an exciting opportunity to showcase their progress and reach new milestones.
Outside of training, I enjoy learning new languages, playing board games, travelling, and spending time with family and friends.
