About Us

elizabethElizabeth - Therapist / Pilates Teacher
Dip FTST IIST IHBC IIHT - Reps Level 4

Introduced to therapy when I was just a young child and I grew up watching some amazing work involving treatment of animals, mainly horses. At the age of 15 (1984) I started work with people.

I am lucky that I realised from a young age what I wanted to do in life and I have been fortunate enough to follow that career. I had my first Clinic when I was just 18 years old.

I have been a therapist now for 22 years and still love everything about it. I will never cease to be amazed by the body and its ability to self-heal or self destruct.

Online verificationMy ethos and work ethics are to give the best, to everyone I treat and to continually update and improve my skills, to learn from the best and help to educate as many people as possible to live a healthy and strong, physical and emotionally balanced lives. Understanding that everybody is an individual and each body will respond differently, to everything.

I realised in 1996 that therapy alone was not enough, it didn’t have all the answers to create the balance for ‘whole body’ health and so I went on to further my knowledge as a Personal Trainer/Sports Therapist to improve the strength and healing ability of the body and mind. That has lead me on a journey to build a way to help others take control of their lives and to empower others to know that they CAN.

Pilates is a massive part of my life now and it is a holistic way to work with the body and mind together. Neither can be separated from the other and both need balance to allow the body to function effectively.

Paramount to all of this is what we put in our mouths. We need to use the correct fuel to keep the system flowing perfectly. Our body is a direct result of what we have done since childhood and what we do now on a daily basis. We are lucky that we own our decisions and we can make and change those decisions in an instant. Therefore, an unhealthy decision can be turned on its axis in an instant, but long term change takes constant practice until it becomes a habit. That is where we may need the Personal Trainer to help and support us as we go through this process.

If I was asked to describe what I feel makes my life so amazing, it would be passion, dedication, enthusiasm, striving, learning, study, application. Not to mention my two beautiful children, my lungs heart and all that I am!

ciaranCiarán Doyle – Personal Trainer
Reps Level 3

I qualified as a Teacher in 1998 and within ten years I became an Advanced Skills Teacher. During that time I was fortunate to work with some of the best educators and engineers. I received gold letters for outstanding achievement from my University two years in succession and gained a First Class Honours Degree. I learned very quickly how to listen to pupil voice and design programmes not because others do it that way, but personalised programmes that mean something to them.

During my time in University I completed a Weight Training Certificate thus allowing me to run the Gym. I did circuit training every week and when I left University I continued my love for a healthy lifestyle. People since commented on my “rucksack, wok, rice cakes and nuts.” I have been a Personal Trainer for the past eight years.

I have raced around Ireland, trekked though Nepal, raced through the streets of Monte Carlo, through forests in France and around Kent. My Goal is to complete an Iron Man in France next Year with the goal of racing in Hawaii in the future. I will be your partner. What’s your Health Goal…?

I have big aspirations - always aiming high. Think Positive – Think Can…! I believe that Education is ongoing and that you learn something new every day. I want to help you draw out your own potential. You can do it..!

I personally train people in different ways, building confidence as we go. Join me on different trips - a swim, run or bike ride or all three at various locations in Kent. There will be boot camps, morning circuits, swims, runs and much more. I will run beside you in races you enter and we will have BackFit Tri teams. I hope people will start mini-tris then tackle bigger events. Keep Moving 7 days a week – Think Functional Fitness…!

I understand the importance of modern technology and I will use it for communication and charting your health progress over our time together.

Your body is strong; however it is built to move – so move it. If we remain inactive and punish it, there will be a pay back – maybe not tomorrow but you get the drift. Even though we feel physically and emotionally tired at times, we are just on amber, always having something left in the tank – this is our true potential…!

We need Holistic Change over time for Health. I am here to support you on your journey to a fabulous new life. Think Healthy Lifestyle – Think BackFit.
