Originally trained as a nurse in London, Sam is also a qualified teacher and ran her own First Aid Training company for 15 years, regularly speaking to large groups of people and endeavouring to make a dry subject, more interesting!

Bu Sam's biggest passion has always been helping women find joy in movement and exercise - but at a level that is right for them.

In 2014 she won the UK Athletics Coach of the Year award for recreational running and has since won many other awards for her work.
