My Story
I started my journey with exercise being extremely inactive and overweight, often finishing last in cross-country, athletics and swimming at school. A wake-up call from my doctor about the health risks of inactivity as well as social pressures motivated me to take control of my fitness. Initially introduced to cardio training, I gradually began walking and running, later incorporating Les Mills classes and resistance training into my routine.
This shift led me to develop a love for resistance training and group fitness, transforming my approach from focusing on appearance to valuing the mental and physical benefits of exercise. This passion, combined with my love for helping others, inspired me to become a Certified Personal Trainer and Les Mills Group Fitness Instructor.
As my journey continued, my approach to training evolved significantly, and my understanding of movement and the body deepened. Personally, I aim for 2-3 heavy strength training sessions, 1 hypertrophy-focused session, and 1 plyometric session each week. This combination helps me build a strong, resilient body capable of withstanding life's heavy demands while also improving my performance in the group fitness classes I teach, including Les Mills Core, RPM, BodyBalance, BodyPump, and BodyStep.
For me, it’s about cultivating strength, endurance, and flexibility that can support my everyday life. I’m constantly proving to myself that I can do things my younger self never thought possible. I am passionate about maintaining a body that can perform at its best, no matter the challenge—there have been a few!
My journey is a reminder that exercise is not only about achieving goals or hitting specific targets; it's about enjoying the process and using movement to enhance both physical and mental well-being. Through my work, I aim to help others experience the transformative power of movement, just as it has transformed my own life.

My Values
Courage
The strength to face life’s challenges with enthusiasm, resilience, and energy. Zest is an embodiment of courage, inspiring individuals to approach each task with passion and determination. It empowers individuals to tackle difficulties with bravery, perseverance, and a sense of vitality, enabling them to overcome obstacles and embrace growth. Through zest, courage brings vitality to all aspects of life, enhancing overall well-being and encouraging individuals to live fully and with purpose.
Transcendence
The ability to rise above immediate circumstances and connect to something greater than oneself. It encourages individuals to find purpose and meaning beyond the ordinary, transforming adversity into growth. A key aspect of transcendence is the ability to embrace joy, fun, and humour, which help create a positive outlook and foster resilience. Transcendence also involves appreciating beauty, excellence, gratitude, hope, and spirituality, deepening our connection to the world around us and to a larger sense of purpose.
Humanity
The capacity for deep empathy, compassion, and understanding in our relationships with others. Social intelligence is a key aspect of humanity, allowing us to navigate social dynamics with awareness of others' motives, emotions, and needs. This strength helps build stronger interpersonal bonds and fosters a caring environment where kindness, love, and mutual respect flourish. Rooted in humanity, social intelligence helps us connect with people on a deeper level, nurturing positive social and emotional exchanges that benefit both individuals and communities.
Justice
Justice is the foundation of fairness and equity, ensuring that all individuals are treated with respect and dignity. It involves the application of both logic and empathy to make decisions that are just and unbiased, while recognizing that fairness can take many forms. Justice also encompasses teamwork and collaboration, with a strong emphasis on social responsibility, community involvement, and the collective good. It’s about balancing individual needs with the well-being of the group, ensuring that everyone has an equal opportunity to contribute and succeed.

I'd definitely recommend Abbey at a PT. I started to find training boring and repetitive. The sessions with Abbey gave me variety and motivation. It was exactly what I needed to challenge my strength and ability.
