Coaching that Works for You
Training Programs
You don't need to be an elite to have a coach. Having a coach is all about getting the best out of yourself for a specific event or adventure. This depends on many things such as; "you" (skills, personality, motivation, experience, age, sex, fitness), how much time you can commit to training and what your goals are. I will help you make efficient use of your time and include things that are often forgotten about such as; recovery, strength/mobility training, nutrition and getting your head in the right place. Programs are designed specifically for you.
I work with a lot of Peri and Post menopausal woman helping them adjust their training to work with the hormonal changes. This not only enables them to achieve their athletic goals but also sets the foundations to a future where they can continue to be strong and fit enough to keep doing the adventures that we love.

Nordic Walking has been designed to use as many muscles as possible it’s a very effective way to exercise without the extra stress on your muscles and joints. Using specially designed lightweight poles I will teach you how to use the Nordic Walking technique to improve your posture, your balance and your co-ordination. There are heaps of benefits but you do need instruction to understand how to use the poles to your advantage. The correct sized Nordic Walking poles will be supplied during your sessions.
