A little bit of everything! I head up our nutrition coaching, coach the New Chapter Training classes for new mums and our EverStrong classes for the 55+ crew. I also coach CrossFit and HYROX, alongside doing 1:1 PT.

Like Barry, I’m one of the OGs. I’d worked with Barry, Jamie and Julie previously. Barry was my head coach, and I worked with both Jamie and Julie through PT and 1:1 nutrition coaching. So, as soon as I found out Beyond Walls was happening, being part of the team was a no-brainer. I started out coaching the outdoor sessions, and the rest is history.
I played netball and water polo at school, then in my early 20s found a real love for running and bodybuilding. Eventually, CrossFit came along and completely changed everything for me.
Anything with higher-skill movements. I love having the time to really break a movement down, work through progressions and help every member find an option that works for them and where they are at in their journey.
Before moving fully into fitness and nutrition, I worked as a pastry chef at The Test Kitchen in Cape Town, which was voted the Best Restaurant in Africa and reached No.20 on the S.Pellegrino World’s 50 Best Restaurants list. I later worked as a private chef, where I got to combine my love of cooking with my passion for nutrition by preparing healthy weekly meals for families. Also, I’m OBSESSED with dark Ryvita. lol.
Starting anything new can feel a little daunting, but as soon as you walk through the doors at Beyond Walls, you’ll feel right at home. You don’t need to get “fit” before you start (that’s the whole point of joining). All you need to do is start, keep showing up and trust the process 🫶
CrossFit has genuinely changed my life in so many ways mentally, physically and emotionally. Coaching gives me the opportunity to help other people experience their own version of that. Whether it’s gaining confidence, getting stronger, recovering from injury, learning a new skill or simply moving for mental health that’s where the magic happens.
There are far too many things to choose from! Jumping into a class myself, coaching CrossFit, doing PT, spending time with our EverStrong crew and our new mums, with baby cuddles being an obvious highlight, plus good coffee and plenty of chats. But one of my favourite things has to be sharing the coaching floor with Jon and, of course, having Bug around too ❤️
See the gym, meet the team and talk about what you want from your training.
