Massage
You can train like an athlete & eat like a nutritionist but if you don’t take the time to recover you’ll never progress. Your body needs time to grow and repair & that’s exactly why I became a Sports Massage Therapist, as I know how important it is to improve your physical, physiological and psychological health. This treatment is suitable for both sports people & non-athletes alike and can help with injuries, chronic pain, muscle aches and restricted range of motion in all of us!

I completed my 4th session of Power Hour last night and can not recommend it enough! Kat is full of enthusiasm and drive from the moment you walk in the door – it’s infectious. Every session is totally different and you walk away feeling smug for days! Be prepared to put in the effort for 60mins and you will wonder why you hadn’t started before! Thanks always Kat ?

I started Power Hour 3 weeks ago having not done exercise for a long time and concerned it would be out of my depth. But I was wrong, the power hours are pushing yourself to YOUR MAX, no one else’s and each week you see that max improve! Once you’re through the door Kat keeps you going!
Kat keeps you motivated throughout the workout, full of knowledge and has the time to explain each exercise! Would recommend every time ?




An expert in her field Kat shows in depth knowledge and skills and uses this to really help you to your fitness goals. I highly recommend Kat to anybody what ever your main sport or fitness focus is. I love my PT sessions and am surprised that every week Kat has thought of something new to push and challenge me! As a runner supplementing my overall fitness, I have found a new level of core strength I have never had before training with Kat.




I spent many months stalking Kats Facebook page watching everyone’s journeys and wanting to join in but felt I was to fat and unfit and would be embarrassed amongst the fit individuals that Kat had on her books. How far from the truth it was. I finally plucked up the courage and messaged Kat who reassured me all would be fine and I found myself booked on to my first power hour…the result is I love them…everyone is on their own journey and nobody takes any notice if you are slower or you use a lower weight. Kat is so encouraging, each week is different, never know what you are walking in to do. It has encouraged me to do more at my gym, given me options rather than the treadmill and I know I will not be running a marathon any time soon but I am pleased with my own progress and I am feeling so much better about myself. Do I still hate burpees…yes…but will I let them defeat me like I would have done 6 weeks ago no! Thank you Kat and all the power hour members who each week give me the encouragement to get it done!



I attended Power Hour for the first time last week and absolutely loved it. As an experienced fitness professional in what feels like a former life, I’d really lost my way and have struggled to find someone or something to help me get back on track. I’ve been to other classes with poor instruction, lack of values and gimmicks that seem focused on making money that I thought I would never find my own motivation again because I needed some guidance that I could trust. Kat is a game changer, she is just what I need- well thought out session, excellent instruction, attention paid to the mental side of things and you know she is fully invested in her approach. I am excited to rebuild my fitness with her and find my cool again :).
