Strength Building at Highbury
Ina’s PT journey was born out of necessity during the pandemic. When lockdown closed down her job, she was already training her flatmates in parks, and realised this was a profession that could remain a constant even in an uncertain world. It made perfect sense to make the jump, drawn by the welcoming community and innovative training tools at Fitness First.
The biggest, most satisfying success is the unassisted pull-up milestone. She describes the joy, pride, and excitement when her female clients achieve it as 'unmatched'. She sees it as proof that they put in good work and conquered something that feels like a massive victory. She wants every beginner to know that feeling intimidated is completely normal, and the only way to overcome it is to show up.
