I’m into skating for the fun and the fitness too.  As a Personal Trainer and skating instructor I’m interested in the pedagogy of sport and how people learn new skills.

I can help you improve your fitness on or off skates as well as your skills.  I teach Skatefit.  This is a fun workout designed to make you fitter and faster, increasing the efficiency of your stride as well as getting your heart rate up and toning your muscles.

You’ll often see me out marshalling the organized London street skates. I started skating whilst living in Paris, in their awesome street skates with up to 10,000 participants and skating police escorts.  I moved back to London to continue my spiritual journey into complete skate freakdom.

To skate everywhere and all the time is my dream.  I love going to different places to race or just to leisure skate. I like to take skaters on holiday with me to show them the fantastic places I’ve been leisure skating. See here www.skate-escape.com for more information about my leisure skating holiday vacation.

There are so many ways to amuse yourself on skates! Try playing hockey, slaloming, dropping into a half pipe or picking up a few moves at roller disco? I really love to escape by just rolling around to some tunes on my headphones. I also particularly enjoy racing for the London speedskaters team. We compete in numerous UK and International inline events. My favourite is the Le Mans 24hr race which attracts around 6,000 skaters from all over. Our team gained 3rd ladies place on the podium here in 2005. I’ve competed in numerous inline marathon distances and a 110km race.  Get in touch with me if you fancy yourself as a speed demon and would like to learn more about speed technique.
