ABOUT LYNSEY GOODYEAR
Sport and especially fitness, has always been a passion of mine. From the first time I attended a "come and try day" at Kendal Athletics Club at the age of 8, I was hooked. My schooling and career path have been focused on sport and exercise. As a busy wife and mum, I have always found time to train for whatever sport I am undertaking at that time, and now I am ready to pass on my expertise to other adults.
MY JOURNEY
The training required to compete for the North of England in Athletics gave me in-depth knowledge of elite sport. This motivated me to learn more about the physiology, psychology and biomechanics of running. A level PE led me to a degree in Sport and Exercise Science at Leeds Metropolitan University. I then continued the family tradition of Teaching PE to Secondary school children, something I loved, as it enabled me to pass on my knowledge to others and try to inspire my students to undertake a life of sport. After 16 years of teaching, 5 of which as Head of PE, the passion for sport, exercise and all it brings took over, and I undertook a Personal Trainer and Sports Massage Course to enable me to begin my new journey of inspiring and helping adults on their fitness/exercise journeys.
BELIEFS & ATTITUDE
There is a form of exercise out there for you that you will enjoy, in fact, LOVE, finding it can be the hard thing. I offer a wide variety of different training options, having tried most of them myself. I believe in a client-led approach, listening to the needs of the client, adapting to their needs on a daily/hourly/minute basis. I can tell by the way they walk through the door if the session I had planned is going to benefit them physically and mentally. The mental health benefits of exercise are a key component of my ethos, the endorphin release whilst undertaking exercise and its psychological and physiological implications, which this has on an individual, is invaluable. Recovery is just as important as the exercise itself. A good diet, rest and massage help the muscles repair themselves quickly and efficiently. But most importantly..... BELIEVE IN YOURSELF! You CAN do this! And I am here to help.
