My name is Marta. I was a very keen athlete during my College years, always representing my school in various athletic competitions. Then I got busy with life and I became a mum.
It was only after my 40th birthday that I decided to return to being active to feel better. I set myself challenging, long-term goals: to change my career to become a Personal Trainer and to take part in a Bikini Fitness Competition.
Now a certified personal coach, I would like to share my knowledge and enthusiasm about a healthy, active lifestyle with you. I would also like to share what I learnt about training, nutrition and mindset from preparing to get onto a stage in a sparkly two-piece.

My name is Artur, and I have always been very active in various sports over the years. Since competing in cross-country running for my college and basketball for my university, I have trained in bodybuilding, kickboxing, Mixed Martial Art and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ).
I can draw on extensive professional qualifications from the best fitness training organisations in the UK and substantial knowledge and expertise from 20 years of work experience in the industry when training clients in all things fitness – from weight loss and body transformation, sports performance to injury rehabilitation.
My particular strength is in training clients who have medical conditions or who are getting back into sports after years of a sedentary lifestyle. Since 2013, I have worked on various specialised exercise programmes for Wandsworth council, including:
