Jenny Pawson Briant

Having worked in the fitness industry for over 15 years, I love helping people make the changes they desire to their health and fitness levels. As a personal trainer and Pilates instructor, my teaching sessions include lower back pain reduction and other joint therapy exercise, group and one to one Pilates classes, falls prevention classes, as well as one-to-one fitness training including nutrition coaching.

After working for many years as a ski instructor, I qualified as a fitness instructor in April 2008 and I have since worked in gyms, clients homes, village halls, leisure centres and my own private studio where I get the same rewarding feelings meeting new people, developing their new skills and knowledge and enhancing their lives. My job enables me to meet many people of varying ages, backgrounds, abilities and fitness levels.

Red Forest Fitness has been running since October 2012.

I enjoy making exercise more interesting for people and find it very rewarding when people achieve their goals. I use my knowledge and experience to ensure personalised training programmes taking into consideration your specific goals, needs and likes, keeping the training sessions varied, effective and enjoyable. I will give you the knowledge to understand how your body works and responds to various influences.

I specialise in lower back pain reduction and also falls prevention and postural stability exercise for the older adult, and have specific interests in core strength, nutrition and weight management, fitness training for snow sports and Pilates.
