Name: Tina Baker Age: 52
Location: North London
Membership Number: ROO39103 Job Description: Fitness Instructor, Fitness Coach, Writer and Broadcaster Qualifications: Level 2 Exercise to Music Best thing about my job: Having a
laugh in every class. And thanks to superior pelvic floor control, not widdling myself while that happens! Lightbulb moment: Winning Celebrity Fit Club. I was invited onto the show the week my mum died of a heart attack. At the time, I was GMTV’s soap opera reviewer - a professional couch potato with a widescreen bum! After losing 3 stone and toning up from a size 16 to a 10 on the show, I got hooked on exercise and decided to train to work in the industry that had saved my life. I realised you’re never too old to get fit or change careers. The next step: I want to be teaching keep-fit in my 90s! Booked in for Zumba Gold and aim to study weight management psychology.
Name: John Brockwell Age: 65
Location: Salcombe, Devon Membership Number: R0037525
Job Description: Personal Trainer, retired Head of
Finance and Non-Executive
Director on the Board of Torbay Care Trust Qualifications: Diploma in Personal Training
Best thing about my job: I’ve always had a keen interest in sport, my own fitness and health and wellbeing and now I’m able to share that with other people and make a very real difference to them. Helping my clients change their lives through exercise is incredible!
Lightbulb moment: Four years ago I met a personal trainer who persuaded me to train as a PT too. So at the age of 61 I did – it was tough both mentally and physically but I loved it and have never looked back!
The next step: The personal reward to what I do is enormous and I’m looking forward to helping even more clients reach their goals.
