Movement consultation

Movement consultation

Book a consultation to discuss your goals with our studio founder, Rhi

As the owner of Strong + Bendy I’ve taught over 1,700 fitness classes. I love nothing more than helping people fall in love with moving their bodies in a way that feels right to them.

During your welcome pass I’d like to invite you to meet (either in person or virtually) for a chat about what brought you to Strong + Bendy, and how I can help you meet your fitness goals.

That’s if you have a ‘goal’… you might just want to move for fun!

Important note: I am not trying to upsell you to an expensive PT package or plan (I don’t offer them!).  Everything you need to get Strong + Bendy is included in the classes you have access to. The purpose is to help make the most out of your welcome pass.

My passion for movement

My passion for movement extends far beyond the studio, I’ve spent the last decade taking part in endurance swims, runs and triathlons, even breaking a world record.

Here’s just a few of my own personal achievements:

Battle Ropes World Record Breaker
12 hours of Burpees Fundraiser
Warrior Endurance Triathlon – 2nd Place Female
Ironman Finisher
Red Bull Neptune’s Steps ‘The World’s Only uphill Swim’ Finisher
Dart 10km Swim
Dorney lake 5km and 3 km swims
Paris + Philadelphia Marathons
Sprint and endurance triathlons

.

My Qualifications

I have the skills to help my customers be both Strong AND Bendy. I’m a Level 3 personal trainer, Level 3 mat pilates teacher, advanced kettlebell coach, as well as being skilled in teaching pull-ups, muscle ups, TRX, circuit training, and Pop Pilates.

.

Modifying around medical conditions

I am not superhuman!! 😂 I have severe arthritis, as well as a heart condition – both have given me challenges when it comes to my own fitness journey. I know what it’s like to come back from ill health or injury – and how to modify exercises around long term medical conditions.

What next?

If you have a fitness goal, just respond to my whatsapp and we can set up a meeting or call to chat about what classes are best suited to your fitness goal. And how I can help support you in those classes!
