The Studio
I’m grateful for the experience and client base I built in commercial gyms, but I've never been happier than working in my own private studio
My husband and I, with a few helpers, built the 30sqm studio, completed in September 2019. It's a blissful space, and my commute takes less than 60 seconds—what more could I ask for?
It is well-equipped with commercial-grade gym equipment
Consisting of (but not limited to):
- Concept 2 Rowing Machine
- Concept 2 BikeErg
- Olympic bars and Olympic plates
- Squat rack
- Double-cable pulley machine
At the end of last year, we completed a complete refurbishment of the area to make it more user-friendly and to bring up the standard of exercise equipment, including the addition of two new Primal Strength leg machines:
- Leg Extension Machine
- Prone Leg Curl Machine
When you enter the studio, you’ll notice that unlike in commercial gyms; there are no mirrors.
There are two reasons for this.
- I want every person who enters the studio to feel confident and to be able to work out in comfort without the fear of catching themselves at a poor angle or seeing their lifting faces
- I believe in feeling a movement and being in the best position possible to avoid injury, if you are too busy checking out your form in the mirror chances are your neck is in an incorrect position, risking injury.

Secure and comfortable space to workout
This exercise studio has air conditioning, and clients have access to refrigerated bottled water should they forget theirs or run out. This service is free of charge - an absolute godsend when exercising, particularly over the summer months.
It’s a great space to learn new skills or gain confidence before heading into a gym environment, if this is something you’d like to work on then drop me a message
The studio is situated to the rear of my house in my garden and is accessed through a separate access. There is ample on-road parking on the street outside my house, with no parking restrictions or permits required.
