My background
Disciplined and driven with purpose.
Let’s get a little personal. I’m originally from South Africa. I moved across the world and grew up in the UK, where I went to art school—but training my mind and body never stopped being part of who I was.
During my master’s degree, I facilitated workshops with people outside the arts, creating space for their voices within political conversations. That was where my experience of listening, guiding and helping people find confidence really began to flourish.
During COVID, I qualified as a personal trainer and turned that instinct into a career in health and fitness. Since then, I’ve spent more than four years coaching people face-to-face, from complete beginners to experienced lifters, helping them become stronger, more capable and more confident in themselves.
My own training has taken me through strength work, running, trail events and HYROX. It has taught me that progress is rarely linear, and that doing more is not always the same as moving forward.
That belief became ARO Strength: coaching built on strong foundations, considered decisions and progress that can be measured over time.
