Personal Training

After becoming a mum to two boys, Leanne found herself wanting to feel stronger, healthier, and more like herself again. The gym became part of her routine, not just for her physical health, but for the confidence and mental reset it gave her.

That experience led her to become a qualified Personal Trainer. For more than nine years, she’s worked alongside women of all ages and fitness levels, helping them learn proper technique, build strength, lose weight, and feel more confident in the gym.

Leanne knows that every woman starts somewhere. Whether you’re walking into a gym for the first time or looking to take your training further, she’ll meet you where you’re at and help you progress at a pace that works for you.
