Sally Has Zing!

I first met Sally on a sand dune in the middle of the Sahara desert nearly 3 years ago and I’ve been lucky enough to follow her incredible fitness journey from that point onwards.

Sally Wellock (Taylor to be) is a knowledgeable and fun personal trainer, sports masseuse and newly published author of FIT FOOD. (The recipes are soo good, easy to make and nutritious)!
I love the concept and we’ll talk about why “Abs are made in the kitchen.”

Sally’s goal is to help busy women in realising that being healthy, fit and happy is both easy and achievable even with limited time to put towards it.

Sally’s biggest achievement so far is completing the 33rd Marathon Des Sables with her Dad. She also ran her first marathon at 18! 

So many of us have dreams and career moves we’d love to try but aren’t quite brave enough to take the plunge. Sally was brave enough and I hope she motivates you to be brave with you career path and live too!

I'm so excited to chat to Caroline about all things Pilates!
Word of warning on this Podcast - you will want to start working on your Pilates immediately after listening!

After years of desk-bound jobs, and a rather poor attitude to fitness generally, Caroline ended up with sleepness nights through back and neck pain. The final straw was went she got stuck at the bottom of ladder  at a play park because she didn’t have the strength to pull herself up. 

Enough was enough. By luck there was a local Pilates teacher and, right from that first session, Caroline has never looked back. She has gone on to train with Body Control Pilates in London (Europe’s leading Pilates organisation, which is also medically approved) and has trained ‘classically’ with Peak Pilates in Rotterdam. She works with a range of ages and conditions, training NATO staff and their families, as well as others. The necessary move to online teaching opened up the world and she now teaches from the Netherlands but in the UK, Spain, Cyprus and Canada. 

Pilates has made her, and her clients,  physically and mentally stronger. From that first group class in a village hall to setting up her own studio in the Netherlands, the journey has been great fun and only just begun.

Diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at just 9 years old, Hayley believes that this changed her path in life. Every day is a gift, she aims to live life to the fullest.

26 years after her diagnosis, Hayley has gone on to have her own two little boys, start her own business, run 1 ultra (2 if you include the 50km on the self-propelled treadmill in Lockdown!), 3 road marathons, and an array of half marathons and 10ks…even though she hates pressure and much prefers a bimble!

Type 1 Diabetes has a way of complicating many aspects in life. It adds an extra dimension of worry and self-discipline, but throwing long distance running and pregnancy in the mix made life even more of a challenge…but it can still be done with the most beautiful of outcomes.

Originally from Cornwall, Hayley grew her family and business in the Cotswolds, but Lockdown 1.0 encouraged her to take the leap and move back to her homeland. She now starts the task of building her business again in both fitness and hospitality, while training for her biggest event to date later in the year, Lakes in a Day.

It was such a pleasure to chat to Hayley and I'm bowled over by how inspiring she is! Enjoy! x
