Zoe Evans
Personal Trainer
Zoe has worked for the last 16 years at Guys and St Thomas NHS Trust in Cancer Care as a specialist Rehabilitation Trainer. Her role has been to support cancer patients’ recovery and improve their fitness during and after treatment. She is passionate about inspiring and educating people to live a healthy life and helping to prevent and/or recover from injury and illness.
Due to a heart health scare and recovering from the birth of her son, she discovered her own medical limits in relation to fitness and suddenly everything she had learnt and practiced at the hospital was not appropriate for her own recovery. She then came across the benefits of weight training and quickly learnt that strength training is as important as aerobic exercise –particularly for women, who typically avoid it through lack of understanding or confidence.
Zoe’s fitness credentials are as follows:
-
Foundation Degree in Health Sciences from London South Bank University - 2011
-
Strength and conditional training for specialty populations. – 2021
-
Nordic walking for rehabilitation therapy - 2019
-
Level 2 fitness instructor – Premier Global NASM Training - 2018
-
Level 3 personal trainer – Premier Global NASM Training - 2018
As well as her work with the NHS, and her role at Purley Sports Club she also works as a personal trainer at a Corporate Nuffield Health site at Whitgift School. Zoe has a holistic approach to personal training and uses both her NHS experience and fitness knowledge to teach boot camp, circuit exercise classes and run small group training sessions focusing on weight training skills for women.
If you’re looking for a friendly, non-judgmental trainer who understands that just getting motivated and feeling confident can sometimes be the hardest part? That's Zoe!
Amy Trisnam
Personal Trainer, Pilates Instructor & Reiki Practitioner
As a child Amy was a gymnast and a dancer and has always liked to be active! At college she trained in gym basics and circuit training and wh
en she left college, she went to work at the David Lloyds Sports Club, firstly in Raynes Park where she studied to become a personal trainer (NASM) and then in Cheam. While there, she instructed clients/ran classes in circuit training, core conditioning, and Swiss ball training, as well as 'get fit for skiing' and personal training sessions.
Her passion was core and Swiss ball conditioning, and it was from there that she developed a deep interest in teaching Pilates.
Amy has been delivering Pilates classes for over ten years, with a steadily growing client base and has been teaching at Purley Sports Club for six of those years. She offers mixed ability classes as
well as beginners' classes and a ‘men only’ class. She has built up a loyal following of clients who appreciate not only her skill and experience but also the individualised personal touch she brings
to her classes.
She has now joined the Purley Sports Club gym team as a personal trainer - the combination of her Pilates knowledge and her PT and circuit training background, means that she can tailor workouts for clients of all abilities and enable them to build strength and fitness in a safe and effective way.
Amy is very versatile in the gym and will work with you every step of the way, whatever your fitness goals! Whether you are looking to reduce your weight, improve your body tone, bulk up, improve
