Meet Our Trainers

Vasuwhni P. Forbes

I am a dedicated and passionate Personal Trainer committed to delivering personalized back-to-basics, strength, lifestyle support, and functional training programs. I prioritize support, empathy, and understanding to build strong client relationships and achieve results. Driven by my passion for physical activity, I guide clients toward their health, fitness, and wellbeing goals, aiming to empower as many people as possible and lead by example.

Having been a Personal Trainer for a few years, I have developed a broad range of experience and understanding of overall Health and Wellbeing. My training and ongoing development both professionally and personally includes 3 years + of boxing training, undergoing the strict and rigorous routines and disciplines needed. My Personal Training Level 3 and Sports Science extended diploma, support the everyday advice and guidance I offer.

The overarching principles of anatomy and physiology allow my understanding to be relatable to individuals and together with the applied exercise physiology supports the fitness programs I produce. My studies thoroughly inform both myself and my clients of overall exercise, looking after the precautions needed to prevent injury, thinking about what to eat and lifestyle habits to maintain.
I believe wholeheartedly that embracing exercise with the correct knowledge and guidance achieves results and develops the ongoing lifestyle commitment needed in today’s busy lives we all lead.

• I aspire to inspire a good physique, lifestyle and healthy lifestyle choices

• Motivating people – my outgoing personality makes a positive contribution.

• I genuinely believe fitness is important to day-to-day living.

• I possess an extensive range of knowledge in many areas of physical activity

• I consider myself to be Creative and ‘think outside the box’.

• I am full of energy and see the greatness in everyone’s ultimate fitness level.

• I am a generous, committed, honest and open individual who always strives for the best.

In addition to health, well-being, and overall exercise, I have a passion for all sports as a spectator or a participant. I love art and the works of a variation of artists. I am imaginative and look beyond my dreams, and fashion and the ideas within this I find intriguing.

Experiencing beautiful places, scenery and views is amazing to me. My most addictive hobby is cooking and experimenting with food. I enjoy socialising and above all making memories with my loved ones.
