I am Vikki, and I have worked in the fitness industry since 1996. I started by doing my ‘exercise to music qualification’ and went on to become a Personal Trainer, but my passion lies in teaching group exercise. I feel I create a light, welcoming and fun atmosphere and love motivating and encouraging all participants to enjoy working to their potential, whatever their fitness level or experience.
Outside of class, I continue to be active and sporty. Over the years, I have competed in running events including several marathons, duathlons, triathlons, cycling time trials, and cyclocross races. I became an age-group world champion in long-distance duathlon, but feel my biggest achievement was winning my age group at Ironman Wales. This year, my challenge is to ride ‘Chase the Sun’, aiming to cycle 200 miles in one day. When I take time out, there is nothing I enjoy more than spending time with my little granddaughter…I need to keep my personal fitness levels up to keep up with chasing after her!
