Travelling

There's nothing more I love than a warm lilo and a good book. For the last couple of years I have enjoyed skiing holidays. Shaun and I usually find time for a quick city break too.

Running

I've completed the York Marathon, The Hardmoors Goathland Ultra and just about all the local 10K's going (PB of 46mins in Helmsley)! Henry & I enjoy Park Run in Dalby Forest.

Shopping

Mainly for leggings and trainers on my own... I've never really got the girly shopping thing and I can wander round for hours!

Sailing

Shaun & I have a little yacht in Whitby where we spend weekends racing. We're always on the look out for an extra pair of hands to help us crew, if you fancy giving it a go?!

Entertaining

I love organizing a meal and a bit of a party

More About My Journey

I specialise in fitness programmes that increase clients health, confidence and mental wellbeing. My passion is to help people change their mindset towards looking after their body and seeing the results.

Im a mum of 2 boys Henry, 18 and Drew, 19 and I live with my partner Shaun who’s a plumber. We live in a gorgeous little market town in North Yorkshire called Malton.

I haven’t always been in the fitness industry, at 16 I left my home town of Barnsley to pursue a career in catering. After 14 years my little family came along and I took a break to look after the boys. Ive always loved keeping fit with various gym memberships and classes but after the boys came along and stopping work Id put on weight and I felt like a frumpy Mum. When D + H started school I joined the gym started doing a couple of classes a week. I loved the “me time” In just a few months my fitness levels came back and I was in much better shape.
I went back into catering working shifts around school runs and secretly did a L2 fitness instructor course with the thoughts of teaching 1-2 classes per week around family life. This snowballed. I loved it and I wanted to learn more. I qualified in a few more CPDs. MMA, Rebounding, PiYo. To name a few. The hotel I was working at wanted me to make a choice. Go full time with them or get your coat. (don’t worry, we’re still friends!) I left catering and went fully self employed doing 15-20 classes per week. I started getting asked about personal training and I thought my brain needed a challenge. It would mean doing even more of what I love. Qualified 2017.

What I’ve Learned

So my 1st client came along and feeling very nervous and excited (me not her) say “Guess what, Im pregnant.” I get to work again and qualify as a pre and post natal instructor. My main focus is to keep my clients in very safe hands so they feel confident in what they are doing.

At the beginning of 2020 business was brilliant. I really happy with everything. New house, a part time job at the local gym, busy classes and a good group of PT clients. Then lockdown hit. It took 1 sleepless night and If I was to keep my business growing I would have to go online and its been incredible to say the least. The support from clients and the help from my PT and fitness friends has been amazing. Spending more time at home and doing home workouts in the garage meant I had more spare time so I challenged my brain again and qualified as a client referral instructor. I think my brain might be almost full. My priority is the safety of my client at all times. My First Aid and Public Liability is always up to date.

The icing on the cake came when I recently acquired a studio in the middle of our lovely little town. My very own Fit Happens HQ. The studio is equipped with a large range of weights and cardio machines for all your needs. We also have tea, coffee and a range of cold drinks available. Along side working out in the gym there is also a large relaxing treatment room where you can get your aches and niggles sorted out with our sports therapist.

Liv Ward

Hi, my name is Liv and I have been a qualified level 3 personal trainer for a few years now. I have always loved keeping fit and I played nearly every sport growing up, however rugby and powerlifting were my favourite. Since getting a knee injury through rugby 2 years ago I decided to stop playing and it was through that decision I found a new love for more of a hybrid lifestyle, involving running, crossfit and hyrox. Since my injury I decided I wanted to set myself new challenges and I have completed a marathon in Barcelona, ran multiple half marathons and 10km races, done a crossfit competition and completed my first hyrox competition as a pair!!  I love working with people to help them achieve whatever goals they have big or small, through strength training sessions and hopefully they will enjoy the process along the way!!

TESTIMONIALS

I specialise in helping women create a healthy lifestyle by teaching them how to increase activity levels by making it enjoyable.

I’m not a natural exerciser so 1-1 with Angela gives me some accountability. Due to Angela always striving to learn, it meant she was qualified to train me throughout pregnancy which kept me fit and healthy. She makes it addictive

Fun and energising classes that never get boring! Angela is a fantastic motivating instructor. Don't know what I'd do without my weekly PiYo and Jumba classes! (and my occasional runs!) Highly recommend all of the Fit Happens classes! Can't wait for bootcamp to be back.

Why My Clients Choose Me!

The reason people come to me is because I understand peoples needs. We talk about how they feel before and after each session. We discuss behaviour change, strategies to improve health and motivation. Nutrition and food planning. I don’t just send you away after an hour and see you next week. We stay in contact. I've made some lovely friends for life too. I like to make sessions fun yet challenging. After all the fitness industry comes under leisure.

The studio will be well equipped and available for personal and small group training up to 3 people. There is 2 hours free parking 2 minutes away and opposite 2 of the most amazing cafes in town. I will be happy to join you for a coffee after a session but please don’t think you can bribe me with this gesture.

The studio is open for private training sessions 6am-8pm Monday to Friday. Your first consultation, fitness test and 1 hour workout is free.
