Personal Training + Boxing for Fitness, Circuits and Nordic Walking

About Me

 

A New Zealander who has lived in the UK for awhile, I’ve been physically active for many years, my journey into the trainer side of the fitness world began when I decided to make a “must do at least once in a lifetime” type goal come true.  This was to complete a marathon (not that I’d done any running before). 

To keep the story short, I had all the problems under the sun.  Strained muscles, sprained ankles, problem knees amongst others.  But I wanted my goal so much, I researched and worked on my various problems and found just how interwoven the body is.  I was utterly fascinated. 

This led me towards the CMYQ Level 2 Fitness Instructor and then onwards to completing the CMYQ Level 3 qualified Personal Trainer.  Its best to look at the body as a whole, not just nutrition, just activity/sport or even just one body part over another. 

I am a member of the Register of Exercise Professionals, Advanced Instructor Level 3 and have appropriate insurance (look me up if you like, Nadia Pavlof, www.exerciseregister.org, Level 3).  I also have certificates in Exercise Referral for Clients with Specific Controlled Conditions, Adapting Exercise for Older Adults, Core Stability and First Aid at Work.

Just in case you’re wondering.  I have since completed 4 marathons…so far.

Other main interests that I have are: belly dancing and am a member of award winning  The Egyptianize Dance Company, Mau Taiaha (a Maori martial art) and motorcycling.  I am also a performing member of the cultural group Beats of Polynesia.
