About me

ABOUT

MY BACKGROUND

My Story.
My Mission.

Having completed a degree in Sports Management ( Sports Science with business Management studies) in 2003 at the Plymouth University business school and The University College of St Mark and St John, I then completed my graduate management scheme with Spirit Health Club – Bristol gaining a wealth of knowledge in health club management which also enabled me to gain my Active IQ Level Personal Trainer qualification Level 3.

In 2007 I was promoted to Deputy Health club manager and Personal Trainer at the Spirit Health club Milton Keynes enabling me to further my management experience as well as being able to work with a diverse range of clients and implement an innovative health MOT process at the club. I was then able to progress to the Health and Fitness manager at St Michaels Hotel and Spa in Falmouth prior to becoming a Wellbeing Personal Trainer at the Nuffield Devonshire club in 2010 ( previously Esporta & Virgin Active) and subsequently took on an additional role as Group Exercise manager and instructor.

During my time at the Nuffield Devonshire I have gained a wealth of knowledge and experience as a Level 4 Personal Trainer, enabling me to develop an holistic approach to both 1.1 Personal Training and group fitness training focusing on the mind and and the body. My clientele includes individuals wishing to reduce body fat and increase muscle tone and size ( hypertrophy), Strength conditioning, Core Strength, Cardiac & Stroke rehabilitation and Pre and Post Natal exercise prescription.

I am an Ultra Marathon Athlete and have completed The Isle of Arran Double Ultra Marathon in 2018 as well as achieving a PB in the Run to the Sea Ultra Marathon in 2021 in a time of 5 hours and 4 minutes. I recently achieved a new PB of 3 hours 41 minutes for the Edinburgh marathon 2024 and in 2025 I finished in the top 10 for the Hope 24 Challenge at Newnham Park.

I have been actively involved with Nuffield Healths Flagship rehabilitation programmes enabling me to further my knowledge in Cardiac Rehabilitation and Musculoskeletal conditions, including those suffering from chronic pain, long term fatigue and breathlessness.

Additionally I have undertaken training to become the Emotional Wellbeing champion at the club and successfully created and delivered a 2 day stress management and mental wellbeing workshop to the management team and employees at Langage Farm!

During the recent lockdowns I volunteered at the Devon and Cornwall Food Action, Whitleigh Green hub ( collecting surplus food from Supermarkets and sorting and delivering food parcels) and volunteered at the vaccination centre at Home Park ( Assisting the vaccination journey)

Lets See how fit I am by my 80th! Watch this space

Monica Wilkinson - Recovery Plus

Aaron is patient, highly motivating and has a great personality! Before I started my sessions with him I had low self-esteem and didn’t enjoy exercising as much as I do now! Working with Aaron has helped me become more confident, fitter and happier!

His workouts are always fun and offer a good variety of cardio and strength, you’ll never get bored because he likes to mix things up!

Aaron pushes you to work hard and will give you a challenge in a supportive way! His nutritional knowledge and advice encouraged me to change my diet promptly and his enthusiasm for exercise has helped me to come out of my comfort zone!

I have made so much progress in just 3 months and this is mostly down to Aarons hard work and encouragement! Thank you so much!
