Over the past ten years I have dedicated my career to improving the fitness of older people, which is a real passion of mine. After running my own successful exercise classes, I launched a range of award-winning exercise DVDs, supported by Professor Janet Lord. Following this, with the help of my team, I developed the endorsed FABS Training Programme so that exercise instructors all over the country can bring people together to exercise and socialise in their local community.
I believe that by working together, we can change the way we age and help older people live happier, healthier and more active lives.

Alongside this I have built Move it or Lose it into a nationally recognised and respected brand, with the support of our collaborating partners at the University of Birmingham Centre for Healthy Ageing Research. We are proud to be chosen as official partners with the Royal Voluntary Service helping their staff and volunteers to deliver our exercise programme at hospital and at home.
