In their own words
I'm a sports massage therapist (level 4). I have participated in sports/exercise all of my life. I played hockey for Berwick Ladies on leaving school. Aerobics and racquetball on moving abroad. Step aerobic, spinning and running as part of Tweed Striders. I completed many 5km, 10km and half marathons, I also did the London Marathon (just the once!). I joined Berwick Amateur Rowing Club and rowed competitively a few times. I'm a Level 2 Gym Instructor, Indoor Cycling Instructor and HIITSTEP Instructor. I joined Unity Fitness in January 2023 after competing in my first CrossFit competition and Power Lifting competition, and love the workouts with friendly, encouraging and supportive coaches. I've also met lots of great people through the gym. I've worked in a GP practice for over 20 years. I also coach a weekly Hyrox class at Unity Fitness. From personal experience I know exercise is the best thing for both physical and mental health. Through sports massage and holistic therapies I would like to help as many people as I can stay active for as long as they can.
