Training

Catherine studied ballet, modern and contemporary dance at the Northern Ballet School in Manchester, England before continuing her training to become a professional ballet teacher. Having sustained an injury that prevented further dancing and spent much time in gyms herself, she retrained as a fitness professional and personal trainer, with a special interest in rehabilitation and injury prevention.

Catherine is also a keen runner and has completed the London and Singapore SCM marathons' as well as competing regularly in the SAFRA and SCMS half marathons' in Singapore. She is able to help you achieve your running goals whether you are a complete beginner, returning from injury, currently hampered by continuous or new niggles and pain whilst running, or simply wishing to better a current personal best time/complete a new distance, e.g. marathon.
