Becky Kidman – PT/Group Exercise Instructor

About me

I am a Level 3 Personal Trainer and Group Exercise Instructor. I have been involved in the fitness industry since 2001. First as an avid gym goer, at the age of 16 losing 4 stone in 9 months, then working for Mildenhall Dome Leisure Centre for 3 years before heading to university to complete a Biological Sciences degree at UEA. On completing my degree, I headed for a career related to my degree subject before getting involved in school teaching since 2007. I worked as a Supply Teacher from 2008-2010, building my confidence of being thrown in the deep end and pretending to be an expert at everything!

In early 2007, I stumbled in to my first bodycombat class and it was at that point I found something I truly loved doing, keeping fit in a fun way and the buzz of group exercise. I completed my ETM in early 2009 and then went full steam in to getting trained in to bodycombat, followed by all the other qualifications (listed on qualifications tab) – the rest is history. I decided to keep this job as a hobby I love doing and my favourite classes to teach are bodycombat ad bodypump.

What does the future hold? – As of  Autumn 2010, I accepted a post working full time within the NHS but will continue to do classes on evenings and weekends. I am about take on bodybalance training for some calm in my life! I will still do personal training as 6 week LBD (little black dress) packages  or as a 12 week course. I will only take on those clients who really want results in those time periods.
