My background
I have always been a keen exerciser, with a particular passion for being outdoors, usually running or playing tennis. During my career break, while I was looking after my three boys, I spent many wonderful hours outdoors in the local parks and woodland areas. Whilst charging about in the woods with my children, I would often squeeze in some exercises such as press-ups against a bench or a quick set of abs on the grass. After years of being cooped up in an office, I found spending so much time outside in the fresh air an energising, yet relaxing experience. I had never felt better. I started to create a vision of bringing people together in groups for dynamic outdoor exercise sessions. So instead of heading back to the office when my children were of school age, I decided to make a dramatic career move and set about building and growing my outdoor exercise dream...and so Green Fit was born!
