After working as a Self-Employed Performing Arts Teacher and Pound Pro alongside
my 9-5 job, I finally took the plunge to be fully Self-Employed in September
2018. I grew up enjoying Performing Arts; from the age of about 3 I took dance
classes, and when I was 7, I joined Spotlight Performing Arts School as a pupil
- I am now the Manager of the Saltburn School! From then on, I performed in as
many community based shows as possible with Spotlight PA, and other groups too!
This led me to study my Level 3 in Musical Theatre full-time at Middlesbrough
College, and then my BA (Hons) Dance at Teesside University. I discovered my
passion for teaching whilst at university - completing my work placement at
Redcar Academy (now Outwood Academy, Redcar), where I also completed my teaching
placement for my PGCE:TLLS. My love of teaching Fitness classes came after I
finally found joy in Group Exercise! I had joined a gym whilst at university and
didn't really enjoy it that much - but liked the results I was getting.
Unfortunately this gym didn't offer much in the way of Group Exercise classes,
which is what I found more motivation in, rather than just wandering around the
gym floor between cardio/weights... My husband and I were then gifted a 14 day
membership at another gym which offered far more, and we signed up for a full
year's membership - where I discovered that I could fit the gym into my schedule
and made myself accountable by booking into Group Ex classes to make sure I kept
going!! Fast forward 2 years and I took my Pound Pro (Instructor) Training and
planned to leave my full time job to pursue the Self Employed life. That's the
very condensed version - for more snippets into my life you can follow me on my
social medias! Susy x
