Hello there! 👋
I’m Harriet – a coach, former gymnast turned weightlifter and trained teacher. Those threads shape how I work.
Gymnastics gave me strength, coordination, and a deep respect for practice. Teaching showed me how differently people learn, and how important it is to communicate complex ideas clearly. After leaving the classroom, I followed my passion for movement into coaching, combining my background in gymnastics with strength and conditioning and Olympic weightlifting.
Today, I help people learn how to build strength and skill in a way that makes sense and fits in with their lifestyle.
Strength and Skill are Learned, not Forced
One thing I’ve noticed over the years is that many adults are expected to simply ‘try harder’ when it comes to strength or gymnastics skills.
But movements like handstands, toes to bar, and bar muscle ups don’t come from effort alone. They come from clear progressions, body awareness, strength and consistent practice.
My coaching focuses on helping people understand what they’re doing and why – so training feels connected, purposeful, and sustainable rather than confusing or rushed.
Through 1:1 coaching, classes, and workshops, I work with adults who want to get stronger, develop gymnastics skills, and feel more capable in their bodies.
Some people come to me because they want to learn their first handstand. Others want structured support to build strength or work towards skills like bar muscle-ups, snatches and cleans.
Whatever the starting point, the goal is the same: To help people train with clarity, confidence, and long-term progress.
A little more about my experience…
Over the years I’ve coached a wide range of people – from children taking their first steps in gymnastics to adults in their 60s working towards skills they once thought were out of reach.
My coaching is shaped by experience, education, and a genuine belief that everyone can develop strength and skill with the right guidance. If this resonates, I’m excited to have you here!
