Personal Fitness Cornwall

Hi, I’m Penny and I was approached with the idea of opening a wellness gym at Hawksfield, where I currently run a kitchen business with my husband. The setting here is perfect and we contacted the landlord who welcomed the idea of building a brand-new facility.

I am now 53 and married with 2 grown up children and 2 dogs. I started my fitness journey with some incredible coaches along the way, during Perimenopause. This was a very difficult time in my life and was challenging to say the least.

Jordan approached me about Personal Fitness because of my own life journey and experiences. As well as my business background, I have a holistic nutrition course qualification and am currently completing courses in Gym Instruction, which will lead onto Personal Training Courses.

In the meantime, we have launched our online fitness programme. So far, our team are delighted to have provided advice and guidance helping more than 50 clients work towards and reach their personal goals. Our core beliefs are working towards client’s own values, their health and fitness goals, as well as focusing on wellbeing and mental health.

Penny trained to be a group fitness instructor whilst working as an eye Specialist in the NHS. From a young age she has had a love for dance and has always shown a keen interest in freestyle choreography. With over 22 years of experience in the gym industry, she is level 2 qualified in Exercise to Music, is fully qualified in all of the following SH1FT programs - L1FT, M1ND, R1DE and R1ZE and is a certified BEACHBODY instructor in INSANITY, P90X and PiYo. She moved to Cornwall two years ago and in lockdown set up her online fitness group aiming to keep her friends, family and colleagues fit and healthy. In her spare time, she loves walking her dog Ralph along the coast path and is an avid cook. Penny will be teaching a selection of classes here at Personal Fitness on Tuesday evenings and Wednesday mornings.

Penny's outlook –

Everyone training with me is made to feel welcome. Whether you're a beginner or super fit - I give alternative moves throughout my classes to ensure all levels are catered for. During my fitness career I've made friends for life and encouraged a "family" approach. Fitness is about fun - you work hard but have a laugh at the same time. I'm sure that when you've tried my classes you will want to return for more!

Hi! My name is Rosie and I have been a fitness instructor for around 7 years, and I have experience in many aspects of health and fitness including personal training, group class training, leisure and pool management.

My interest in fitness began when when I started training in Pole fitness back in 2014 which eventually led me to coaching it! By the end of 2016 I had completed my Level 2 in gym instruction and had won a national silver medal in the WorldSkills competition in Birmingham NEC, recognising me in the top 2 gym instructors in the country at the time.

Since then, I have completed my level 3 in Personal Training, Level 1 Strength and Conditioning, along with an array of additional courses such as Nutrition for Health and Performance, Spinning, Beginner Pole Fitness Instruction, Kettlebells, HIIT, and TRX,. You’ll find me teaching a selection of these types of classes here at Personal Fitness!

I love challenging myself and achieving things people say I can’t, and between 2018 and 2022 I even became a pro wrestler! Becoming a women’s Pro Wrestling Champion in March of 2022.

What I love even more though- is helping others achieve things they never thought they could! I have trained an array of clients to reach different kinds of goals - from increasing fitness, to weight loss, to PB lifts, to just increasing confidence in the gym. The thing I find the absolute most rewarding is raising women’s confidence in a gym setting, and showing them that they belong in the weight room, in the wrestling ring, and wherever they want to be!
