My Coaching Journey

I am incredibly passionate about empowering individuals to take part in physical activity, whether you are a beginner wondering where to start with exercise, a seasoned gym-goer or athlete looking to take their training to the next level.

My ethos as a Person-Centred coach puts you, the individual, at the heart of the coaching plan.

I have been personal training since 2017 and worked with beginners lifting their first weights, to those looking for more direction in their gym sessions, to those training for a variety of sports including marathons, fencing, and bodybuilding.

I have a strong background in science-based sport, exercise, and physical activity. I utilise my BSc in Sport and Exercise Science, and my MSc in Sport and Exercise Psychology, to bring a fully holistic and psychologically-informed approach to Personal Training and Coaching.

My personal exercise journey has seen me involved in playing team sports such as hockey for my county and Loughborough University, to taking part in triathlons, athletics and running events. I also love hiking with my dog and being in the great outdoors, and firmly believe physical activity should be enjoyable, which is something I endeavour to show and teach my clients.

Testimonials

Alex

"India has been my PT for four years and I would never go to anyone else. She helps you make meaningful progress in a manageable way using her wealth of understanding of the human body coupled with a personable approach which is motivating without being overwhelming.

I feel so much stronger than I ever have before and have seen improvements in my fitness, posture and wellbeing as a result. India is always looking to improve on her already extensive portfolio of qualifications; she loves learning new things and seeks to provide the best experience possible by keeping up with developments in her field.

I’m just going in to the second trimester of pregnancy and I’m thrilled that I can keep having my PT sessions because she is also fully qualified for maternity training! I know that I can trust her with my body during pregnancy because she always prioritises the health and safety of her clients."
