Juno – the place where you belong to get strong.
The classes follow my plan of The Training Sessions; which is a weekly changing programme based on my core principles of fitness, but also my creativity and love of making fitness genuinely fun and interesting.
I write the sessions fresh every week. They are creative, challenging, interesting, and fundamentally based on science and research as to what methods make a genuine impact on transferable, real-life and life-long strength and fitness.
These classes. and my style of training, is rooted in the question: “what do you want your body to be good at doing?”. That comes through the lens of us as women, who’s bodies change multiple times throughout our lives. So we want our bodies to be good at handling those changes without too much functional or metabolic drama. We want to be able to take part in playfulness in our daily life.
Quite simply; we want to enjoy our bodies! That’s the point of strength and fitness.
The Equipment: Kettlebells, Callisthenics, Ergs
Kettlebells – A type of free weight – these are the weights we lift inside Juno Fitness. Looks like a cannonball with a handle, Requires learning of techniques so that you can use them heavy and safely enough to work on your body, yet the rewards are absolutely worth it – you can’t get the efficiency that kettlebell training gives you anywhere else (trust me I’ve tried everything!)
Callisthenics – Simply put; bodyweight strength and fitness. Think Push-Ups, Planks, Hanging (Pull-Up training), Lunges and Squats, Step-Ups, Core, plus a whole blend of movements that I’ve taken from my background in yoga, pilates and handbalance to create a system of training that just uses your own body against the ground and a set of bars.
Ergs – the most familiar of these to you will be a Rowing Machine. I use Rowing Machines, and their non-identical twin the Skierg, because they allow us to use the movement skills we use with kettlebells and bodyweight work and put them into practice in a situation where we aren’t risking our form breaking down when we get tired – so that we can get tired safely and build a solid engine.
These three disciplines; kettlebells, bodyweight and ergs, I blend together so that every aspect of strength, fitness and generally strong movement is covered with a limitless number of possibilities and combinations. Where skill, simplicity, and strength meet in perfect balance.
We cover all three disciplines in the Induction Workshops, where you learn the skills to start benefiting you immediately.

What’s The Group Like?
We are a group of women who have all found our way here from a desire to break from mainstream, gimmick-driven and punishment-focused fitness to connect with our bodies’ natural and innate athletic potential.
We all have slightly different aims, because we’re individual women, but what unites us is the desire to be stronger, and reap the physical and mental benefits that having a stronger body provides.
This isn’t a gym full of intimidating people; we’re down to earth, quirky, fun-loving and inspirational women who are here to escape the stresses of life, get out of our heads and into our bodies.
I’m creating a movement for women who want to be stronger, not because we think we’re not good enough as we are, but to make us realise our power, independence and freedom.
From a culture that seeks to make women less, we’re here to become more.
