Introducing our Active Together Champion, Samantha!

Samantha is a personal trainer from North West Leicestershire, who prior to the pandemic, described her self as someone who "wouldn't even run for the bus" - now, being active is a huge part of her daily routine.

Samantha decided to start the Couch to 5k running programme and online exercise classes to improve her lifestyle and to alleviate her anxiety symptoms. However, as a single mother of 3, it was hard to find time to balance being active with her home life, and thought the best way to be active was to incorporate it into her professional life.

In May 2021, Samantha decided to create Village Green Fitness to inspire and help other women like herself with limited time and resources to be a little bit more active every day, whether that's just by walking or by smashing a tyre with a sledgehammer in one of her outdoor farm classes!
