Gisela has been working in the fitness industry for over 10 years. Her journey started in 2009 when she trained for the London marathon, beginning as a beginner to running (to exercise in general). She completed more running events but had to stop due to injuries. Training for a marathon introduced her to massages and their importance for recovery and pre-events to prepare the body.
Obtaining a few injuries along the way, Gisela developed a keen interest in training before an event without getting injured and how to deal with injuries should they arise. And this hobby grew into the dream of helping others, and Gisela trained to become a fitness instructor and personal trainer after. Ever since qualifying, Gisela has worked on developing her career and knowledge. She still instructs Yoga and other fitness classes, including HIIT.
In 2015 Gisela decided to give up her full-time job as a secretary to become a full-time personal trainer and exercise instructor. Working for one and a half years as an Assistant Manager in a gym, Gisela learned more about the fitness industry. This also made her realise that she prefers to work with people directly and full-time.
She also coached gymnastics up until this year, which gave her significant experience working with children of all ages.
With her vast experience in the fitness industry, Gisela understands the different needs a sport has on your body and what treatments are essential to maintain a physically active and healthy body.
Gisela is very enthusiastic and loves sharing her love for fitness and her knowledge. Her positive outlook on life and high energy reflect in her sessions, be it in the group exercise classes or during a one-to-one personal training or massage session.
Her biggest goal in life would be to work for professional athletes or look after a professional football team, which is why she studies sports rehabilitation. She also loves going to the gym to lift weights and participate in spinning classes. She loves watching Football, especially the Women’s teams, in her spare time.
