In 2008, out of the blue, my Mum was diagnosed with Breast Cancer.
It was a shock to say the least, and while those of us around her worried about her treatment and future health, Mum remained strong, determined not to let this disease beat her.
During those early days I noticed how great the women in my life were at rallying round and offering their support to Mum and one another.
As a Personal Trainer, I saw how effective this bonding was, and realised that I could do something to help my Mum's cause, while bringing together like-minded women to help and support each other in the name of fitness.
With the backing of the local press, I decided to run a 4 week exercise club for women in aid of Charity. The response was great and I found myself flooded with enquiries to take part!
As a result I raised over £1,000 for charity, while providing a fresh and rewarding exercise experience that both the girls and I loved being part of!
This event made me realise just how effective and powerful exercise could be when girls have the social support of each other. Since then I've been passionate about helping even more women achieve their fitness goals, by developing Ladies-Only Camps across the South East.
3 years on and the good news is that Mum is still winning the battle against Cancer, receiving the all clear from her specialist every 6 months.
With strength and determination, any obstacle can be conquered, and I'd like to think that my brand of Ladies Fitness Camps can help many women beat feelings of negative body image, while boosting their confidence too.
If you try one of our Camps I truly believe you'll experience these benefits for yourself too.
Here's to YOU looking, feeling GREAT!

Our approach to 'Boot Camps' is different to many of the Fitness classes you may have tried. We don't just bunch you up into a huge group and lose you in the crowd.
Instead we like to take a personal approach, making sure you fit in from the start. We introduce you to other members, give you an 'exercise buddy', and ensure that you're comfortable with the exercises and challenges presented.
We screen you for any injuries or joint problems, and adapt the session as needed to suit your level of fitness and ability. Of course, if you're already fit, we'll push you, but our Camps are not designed to 'break' you!
Members can be sure that all workouts, challenges and circuits are overseen by well-qualified, energetic Trainers, who are supportive and knowledgeable.
They are coached to deliver you the highest standard of training, and the latest, most effective approach to exercise, designed to get you fit and shed excess weight fast!
At Camp we believe in training our members with good humour, professionalism and patience. We want all members to work hard and push themselves that little bit further, but still feel like this is an enjoyable and rewarding experience.
Otherwise there's no point in attending is there?
We definitely DON'T believe in the 'Sergeant Major' approach, barking orders and reminding you of your physical failings. That's not our style. It doesn't work for us, and it's never worked for our clients.
No two sessions are ever exactly the same, so you're always kept on your toes, wondering what your next session has in store!
In fact, we're so confident of our methods, standard of service and your Camp experience that we give you a 1 week FREE Trial Pass to come along and put us to the test. We're quietly confident that once you've tried us, you'll be keen to sign up for our 4 week Programme.
Give us a go and see for yourself!
We look forward to welcoming you to one of our Camps very soon...
We're always on the lookout for fresh talent to run our Camps, either as holiday cover or fronting a new Camp location. If you're passionate about fitness, have experience of working with groups, and can be a great motivator, we want to hear from you!

Marketing and Business
As a Fat Loss Specialist, I founded Ladies Fitness Camps in 2008, (formerly Fitstreet Boot Camps).
With many years of one-to-one training, I specialise in helping women achieve their fitness goals, while overcoming feelings of negative body image and reluctance to persevere. Working with hundreds of women over the years has given me a good insight into what does and doesn't work for them in a fitness environment.
At school I was skinny, fairly inactive and never picked for sports teams. Since then I've worked hard to get fit, so I have first-hand experience of starting out from little fitness and sticking with it to get to where you want to be.

Memberships
As a Body Conditioning Expert, I became Partner in the business with Simon in early 2009.
I'm passionate about providing women with the foundations to exercise safely, get results, and train with good posture and technique. It's important that they feel supported and confident in their efforts, and I truly believe our Camps help them achieve this.
I fully understand that exercise isn't all about competition and that the majority of you simply want to look and feel better. That's why we make exercise fun, supportive and different!

To ensure your safety, enjoyment and results at Camp, we only recruit the very best instructors at each of our locations to motivate you.
All of our Trainers are experienced at working with groups, and able to provide variations of exercises that may prove too difficult for you.
They listen, support and motivate you to work to the best of your abilities, while offering personal interaction during each session.
With a full-time Trainer at each Camp, you get to know and trust them, and share any questions or concerns you might have about fitness or nutrition.
