"This is my passion, this is my way of life."
Young and hard working Sally Dixey invited me to a fitness studio in Notting Hill as she is preparing to further her career as a personal trainer. Energetic and full of enthusiasm, Sally demonstrated some of the exercise routines she carries out to her client - I thought I had a go myself, although after 5 minutes I thought putting down the Kettlebells would be a great idea before injuring my trusted camera arm.
Kettle what? you say...
"Kettlebells did start out as a cast iron kettle. This kettle was filled with sand, or whatever else was at hand, and then used as a strength training tool in Scotland over 2,000 years ago. Many believe that this tool was also incorporated into games testing strength, similar to those used in the highland games today. Over time the kettles due to their sharp edges and spout were replaced by other similar looking weights, cannon balls were probably used and thus evolved and developed into the training tool that we see today."
So I ask the question "What makes you stand out from the crowd?"
"I have a strong belief that exercise and wellbeing is one of the most important changes a person can make to their life, that undoubtedly will have the most profound effect on all aspects of a person’s life. It is although the one thing that we often neglect! I hear many reasons as to why it’s the last priority and the most common reason I hear is time management.
I have worked within the fitness industry for over 7 years and have been a trainer for the last 4. I have seen many different people from across London and I believe my diversity and personality alongside my qualifications make training with me something to look forward to. My belief that exercise should be fun plays a big part in every session I deliver but always with the main goal in sight.
Personal Training is more than just exercise. It’s about energy, confidence, improvement and achievement. This is my passion, this is my way of life."
