Personal Trainer & Wellness Coach

Penny

A personal trainer currently retraining as a wellness coach — she came to fitness after a redundancy pushed her out of retail management, a move she embraced fully. Illness has meant a break from actively training clients, but not from the part she loves: helping people.

Brian's co-editor and co-creator on Midlife Hacks, and the voice behind a lot of the site's gear and fitness reviews.
