Marie Zena Barton - Head Coach at HIITme

Hi, I’m Marie and this is what I’m about as a Fitness Coach.

My philosophy to health and fitness is very simple, down to earth and fun! For me personally and what I think most people need when it comes to exercise is to find something that they like, that fits into their schedule and is in a group fitness setting.

I believe it is the key to enjoying the benefits of exercise and we all want to feel the benefits of exercise both physically and mentally right......without it being boring or stressful. It works for me and it is a process I love seeing develop with clients and how it changes them to feel better within themselves. This is what I am about as a trainer and it is purely because I have been through the journey myself.

I had the usual tired, overweight issues that made me think Ok yes I will try this boxing class I have heard about, then known as JessBoxing:o) That was it, I was hooked from that first class. I had totally found an exercise that I enjoyed. I loved over time how it changed my mind and body and how for three times a week for 1 hour, I thought about absolutely nothing else apart from what I was doing then and there.

I would not have even thought about becoming a trainer had Jess the instructor not asked me too. As soon as the words were out of her mouth it was YES game on, I really want to do this! I loved how it felt as a client so why not pass that on as an instructor? Thankfully I loved teaching the class as much as I did when taking it.

After taking different Fitness Boxing Instructor courses with boxercise.co.uk I then went on to train as a Gym Instructor, Group Fitness Instructor and Personal Trainer with Premier Training International in the UK.

I had been teaching Group Fitness classes part-time for over 11 years which I did as well as my day job, until 2015 when I resigned from my nice steady safe job and decided to teach fitness full time. The rest as they say is History!

Want to feel the same way about your health and fitness.Then take the first steps and just try one of our classes. You have nothing to lose! Take Care, Marie
