Meet The Team

I’m an experienced Personal Trainer & have always been into health & fitness, & absolutely love my work! I’m hugely passionate about sharing & helping people realise the enormous positive impact being physically active can have on not just your physical health but also your mental & emotional health.

 

Yarm Paddle Boarding feels like the perfect extension to my fitness business, AM Fit Personal Training, and sharing this love for being active… & it really doesn’t get any better than being active outdoors & in nature!

 

My big love for SUP started several years ago & I love to paddle quietly down the river in the winter or summer sunshine. It’s gives such an exhilarating feeling of freedom, & gratitude for life. To be able to help others experience this is an absolute honour.

 

Paddle Boarding can be as relaxing or as much of a workout as you’d like it to be, & we’ll be here to help you on that journey. With my fitness experience & knowledge, I can really help with correct & efficient paddle techniques, posture, balance..& I can even send you home with extra exercises that can help you on your SUP journey. This is optional though!

 

I’m also a mum, an animal lover with a passion for rescuing, promoter of natural & holistic health, and am on my own crazy spiritual journey!

​

I’m a full time Engineer! It’s for this reason my Paddle Boarding is so precious to me. It’s time out of the work place, surrounded by nature, and an opportunity to de-stress & unwind.

I was absolutely hooked from my very first SUP session & knew immediately this was something I wanted to get serious about! I still try to get out on the board every weekend.

I have a passion to help paddlers improve, taking a big interest in the technical side of paddling. I’ve learned so much on my coaching journey and am super keen to pass on my experience & knowledge to others.

It’s also incredibly satisfying for me, watching beginners go from being a little nervous to standing up and paddling confidently. For me, every coaching session is an absolute bonus & a great excuse to get out onto the water, so you can guarantee while you’re enjoying yourself learning & gaining confidence, I’ll be loving it too!

I’m also a handyman and as a hobby make gifts with wood and resin, which you can see @carvcreations. I’m a family man & a Foster Carer and take my knowledge & patience with children to our kids Paddle Boarding sessions, so don’t hesitate to book your whole family in, if you all fancy it!
