Fitness with Helen Wood

General information

I am passionate about helping people who want to be fitter, to take control and find an enjoyable way of exercising which is sustainable for them. Many things can get in the way of taking the first steps, be it family commitments, confidence levels, not knowing where to begin or countless other things, but once you do get started you really know it is worth it. Taking steps now to look after your longer term health can lead to benefits such as reducing your risks of high blood pressure, diabetes and osteoporosis.

My relationship with exercise has been long and varied, with a number of spells where I didn't do any at all as I was too self conscious. However, my understanding of the importance of keeping fitter has increased with age, ultimately leading me, in 2016, to launching 'Fitness with Helen', working in North Tyneside & Newcastle. After 30 years of working in a non fitness role in the NHS I decided the time was right to pursue something I was passionate about and make a career change.

If you would like to be fitter but you haven't yet made the move (whether you are a total beginner or have just lapsed), or would just like to find out a little more about me and what I do then please get in touch.
