A HEALTHY COMMUNITY.

Living in a big city such as London, it’s easy to forget the importance of our local communities.

As a Personal Trainer, as with many business owners, my livelihood very much depends on the people in my local community. Therefore, it’s always a great opportunity for me to be able to meet them.

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of meeting some of the parents in the area, at the Busy Rascals group in Willesden Green.

Busy Rascals is a fantastic project set up for parents and their babies/children to be able to meet, socialise and participate in various activities including music, dance and parent workshops (www.busyrascals.wordpress.com).

By being able to speak to the people in my neighbourhood, I am able to better tailor my services to their needs.

I started offering home workouts as part of my service just over 5 years ago, and since then the majority of my clients have been, and still are, mums.

Working out at home has given them the opportunity to undertake a regular exercise programme without having to be apart from their children, or having to pay additional childcare costs whilst attending a gym.
