I joined my first session as a dare when I was 16! That was it I caught the bug! I started assisting at sessions, and helping out DJ'ing and Demoing on stage! I qualified whilst at university reading Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Teaching classes helped me out as a student giving me the 'time out' I needed whilst completing my degree.

I worked at the BBC for a year after I graduated, still teaching and
helping at classes when I got my first helping hand by Graeme, Hughie & Jane who gave me the encouragement and belief to start up my own company. Freestyle would not be here if it was not for the help of family and friends especially Judy, Mark and Jax in those early days! The fantastic 4! I have never looked back.

Our community of instructors, team, and most of all loyal customers has grown over the years, It's not just a group exercise class we all take part in, its a fun part of our lives! I qualified in Pump, Aquatic exercise, Anti and post natal workshops, GP referral, Massage Therapy, and Reiki & numerous fitness conventions. Freestyle have lead many mass warm ups for Race for life, Run for Moore, Cycle for life, which is important to me as I lost my mum to cancer, I feel it’s my way of helping out the way I can.

I have been around since Freestyle was just an idea and I am now proud & privileged to play a major part in it. I work alongside my buddy Stef who as you know is the director of Freestyle. Together we choreograph all the land routines and choose the most motivating music we can lay our hands on to encourage you guys to want to work. On top of that I also design all the H2O workout routines for all the aqua instructors.

I am so lucky to have a job I love so much, it’s almost a bonus I get paid for it (but don’t tell the boss I said that!!!) I started off teaching land classes over 11 years ago and also have added an aqua class to my teaching timetable for the past 7 years, which is a really fun way to end my week. I qualified with YMCA, NVQ RSA examinations, and over the years I have updated my skills by attending workshops and fitness weekends and by taking more examinations in Aqua, Body Pump, post/Pre Natal and GP referral. I have led the warm up to Cycle for Life, which was a great honour, and have assisted at many of the great Race for Life events around the country.

I had been attending aerobics classes for over 10 years before Freestyle started. I did many nights a week helping out, DJ’ing, assisting and doing team displays throughout the North West near to where I live in Cheshire. The best bit is being able to wear all the funky fitness gear, on the down side that’s where all my wages end up!!!!! You can usually catch me on my days off at the Trafford centre, shopping as usual.

If I can make you enjoy working out and put a smile on your face as far as I am concerned that’s my bit done - the rest of it is up to you! :o) x

I have been part of the Freestyle team for 10 years and I try to be enthusiastic and motivating. I hope this comes across to everyone I meet!

I devote time and effort to making my classes the best they can be.

I am one of the most experienced and long standing instructors, and have taught in most of our sports centres across the North West.

I have been on maternity leave with my second child Max, but now i am back with avengance!!!

I've been on the team from the early days and yes, I am one of the oldest members of the congregation!

As a mother of two (and another one on the way!) I have a very busy lifestyle, but I love to keep fit with Freestyle.

I currently work with the fit 4 fun academy as part of the Wigan sports development team.

My role involves coaching children on sporting activities and advising them on the importance of maintaining good health. I consider it my bit to help reduce the level of obesity in children throughout the borough.

Hi, I’m Andrea!

I joined Freestyle in the early days, must be about 8 years ago now.

I qualified with my Exercise To Music course at college doing one evening a week, as well as assisting and helping at classes. I then qualified in Aqua also, and took on 2 sessions which were extremely popular!

My enthusiastic energy I felt I could pass on to my class, I have taken time out from teaching at the minute to bring up my lovely boys! They keep me so busy! But I always make time now to assist at sessions, and help out at classes where I can!

Bex(Freestyle's answer to Danni Minogue) has been a member of Freestyle for almost a decade now!

Keeping fit and looking good is high up in her priorities and has been a regular at classes as both an instructor and a glam assistant.Bex is also a qualified personal trainer, recently starting her own mobile personal training business, Major Fitness.

She loves to sing, dance and tell a joke...ask her bout the two monkey's in the airing cupboard!!!

Hi I'm Jenny aka 'the mad energetic one with curly hair'!

You'll often find me gracing the stage at Ashton.

I've been teaching for Freestyle for 4 years and love it!

I have a beautiful daughter - Lola-Mai who I'm training well and can knee lift and kick!

Apart from jumping around I'm a self confessed shop-a-holic.

Hi I’m Helen.

I’ve been on the Freestyle team for 6 years now, and have been qualified and teaching for 4.

I decided I wanted to become an instructor because I loved Stef’s classes so much, I wanted to teach! What better way to keep fit?

I have a little girl who is 5, I think she has already caught the fitness bug from me!

Hey I’m Ash!

I have been working for Freestyle for over 3 years now and loved every minute.

I started teaching circuits when I was at college and have loved teaching ever since.

I completed my degree at Salford in sports science, and since then I've completed a number of gym based qualifications such as Spin, Pump and Combat.

I joined the Team in 2001 and qualified as an Aqua Aerobics Instructor in 2002.

I really love teaching and try to make my classes as enjoyable as possible!

It’s just what you need at the end of a stressful day … a class of smiling faces that are enjoying the class as much as I am! x

Hi, I'm Karen,

I teach H2O at parr pool in St.Helens twice a week.  I have been a member of freestyle for about 9 years, and have been teaching aqua pretty much since it began.

I love teaching H2O, and always try to make the workouts as fun and motivating as possible.

My full time job is as a Sister at the local emergency department, and after a hard day at work, aqua is a great way to unwind and release the stresses of the day.

I love keeping fit, I love my job, and I also love the important things in life: my husband, my family and friends, and I basically just try and live life to the full!

I'm Cath!

I qualified as an Aqua instructor after joining Freestyle in 2004.

After attending sessions for over 10 years becoming qualified is a great way to keep fit along with sharing my knowledge with others.

When I'm not teaching my time is taken up with my family raising two children and working as a part time stylist.

Hey I’m Kel.

You’ll see me jumping around on the stage at Queens park with so much energy to burn!

I qualified as an instructor about 3 years ago.

I enjoy keeping fit to the max! You’ll often see me in the gym!

Oh, and doing my midnight aerobics on a Saturday night in the club! Only on orange juice I might add ;o)

I have been on the Freestyle team for 7 years and teaching for 5 years.

I am 42 years of age and have a 3-year-old son who keeps me just as fit and young as does teaching H20 twice a week!

I became an instructor after taking my Aerobics Exam at 35 so you are never too old.

I love the buzz teaching gives me, my sessions are very popular.

Give Aqua a try you will love the challenge, I did.

Hi everybody I'm Caroline.

I'm a lively, fun, cheerful and friendly person who loves taking on new challenges.

Teaching H2O gives me the opportunity to share my extra energy with the whole class making it enjoyable and fun for both me and them!

When I’m not teaching I like travelling and spending time with the most important people in my life; my family and my friends.

I'm Laura, a fun energetic person with a love for fitness.

I really enjoy shopping, especially for bags and shoes.

I love socialising with my friends, and after working hard, partying hard too: Wigan’s answer to Carrie Bradshaw!!
