Hi, I'm Elaine
The founder of Smart Time Fitness, a keen fitness enthusiast with a true passion for what I do. Being brought up on a farm, the importance of fitness, health and nutritious food was instilled at a young age. As a keen runner, having ran many marathons and ultra marathons, it made sense for me to start a career in the fitness industry. However, it was only when I became a mother that the penny dropped, highlighting the importance that exercising had on physical and mental health.
My programs are designed using the knowledge of my own experiences, highs, lows and challenges that come with being a mother and understanding the importance movement has on mental health. How our bodies change after childbirth and the lifestyle adaptions we need to make in order to sustain a healthy balance.
Experiencing the negative effects that food can have on mood, energy levels and gut health I then furthered my knowledge in becoming a certified nutrition coach. Learning how to eat for my body type and lifestyle has made such a huge positive change to my overall health and well-being.
After developing diastasis recti (this explains it) and not knowing what it was, I decided to further my career in anti and post natal fitness in London. Having a constant bloated tummy which had a strange shape and a sore back ( which was
unusual for me I became obsessed with DR and how to fix it. I
soon realised that the endless amounts of sit ups I was used to
doing could actually be making my condition worse. Being told I
needed to avoid certain exercises and movements was so
confusing but eventually I learned how to heal and strengthen my core safety and effectively. And can gladly say its the strongest it's ever been.
