My name is Lewis and I teach a variety of fitness classes on the Isle of Wight.  I originally trained as a dancer at Coventry University and also the Scottish School of Contemporary Dance.  I continue to work within dance and physical theatre with the RedTIE Theatre company on the Isle of Wight and also amateur dramatics organisations.

I love teaching.  I know its a cliche but it is truly rewarding helping other people to achieve their goals and fulfil their potential.  Whether that is improving their fitness levels and therefore their overall health or helping teenagers develop their creative skills to create powerful and moving theatre.

Fitness is very important to me.  At school I wasn’t the ’sporty’ type.  I preferred to gossip with the girls than to kick a football around the playground and as such I was overweight until my late teens.  It was on my National Diploma in Performing Arts that I truly discovered my love of dance and in turn it transformed my body physically, sky rocketing my energy levels and opened up a whole new creative world to me.  As physically demanding as a dancer’s training is in their craft it has to be supplemented by a full and balanced fitness training programme.  Strength, flexibility, balance, aerobic endurance, agility…these components of fitness are a dancer’s toolbox.  It has therefore been a natural progression for me to move into fitness instruction and I’m loving every minute of it.

I’m a real lover of learning too so I’m constantly looking to update my skills and knowledge.  Within the next two months I will take continuing professional development courses in Zumba, Fitness Pilates and Aqua exercise so you can be assured that when you participate in my classes you are being taught by someone who has the most up to date and effective knowledge available.

I look forward to seeing you in my classes and learning more about you!
