UP CLOSE: with the founder of Teddington Training
The founder of Teddington Training, a business which offers personal training sessions and sports massage therapy, Vicky, started training as a Personal Trainer (PT) when she was 29.
Vicky, who now has 18 years of experience in fitness, wellness, and nutrition, runs PT sessions in her home gym in Teddington and does sports massages in her home treatment room.
She is from Teddington but previously spent nine years living between Miami and Dubai when she worked as an air stewardess on long haul flights.
Speaking about why she decided to change careers, she told Teddington Nub News: "I got into fitness to Balance out the demands of long haul flying.
"I didn't have a clue about nutrition and was eating at all hours, so I wasn't the healthiest."
Vicky says when she started training as a PT her "whole understanding of the importance of fitness and nutrition changed".
When she was living in Dubai and working as an air stewardess, her role was to teach the cabin crew about balancing a healthy lifestyle and nutrition to combat the demands of long-haul travel.
Following this, Vicky worked as a PT in a gym and on a free-lance basis.
In this time, she had two children, "which allowed me to train my clients and be around for the children," she says.
Over the last few years, Vicky has been studying to become a Level 4 Sports Massage Therapist.
She said: "I did this as I could see that so many people are suffering with dysfunctions and injuries due to their lifestyle."
Vicky also creates personalised programmes for her clients, which she says are predominately female, that are "both effective and sustainable".
Her expert guidance includes nutrition and weight management, pad work, pre- and post-natal training, and partner training.
Vicky's personal training sessions cost £55 for a single session and £500 for ten sessions.
Her partner sessions (for two people) cost £65 for a single session and £550 for ten sessions, and her sports massages cost £65 for 60 minutes and £90 for 90 minutes.
Speaking about her love for her career, Vicky said: "I love working with the local community.
"The best thing about my role is watching my clients grown in confidence as they see the benefits of lifestyle changes."
