Hi, I’m the Expat Gym Junkie

Group Fitness Instructor • Les Mills Coach • Cyclestar • Mum • Doha-based

My Journey

In 2001, life handed me my greatest gift — kids. Along with the joy (and the sleepless nights!) came the realisation that my health had slipped to the back seat. I started small: one class, one walk, one better choice at a time. That snowball became a passion, and that passion became Expat Gym Junkie — a place to share practical fitness tips, busy-life strategies, and the lessons I’ve learned attending classes and coaching around the world.

Today I teach and coach in Doha, helping real people build real strength and energy. My style is upbeat, technique-focused, and friendly — I want you to leave class feeling capable and proud.

What is Body Pump?

  What is a Body Pump Class All About? If you’ve ever walked into a studio and seen rows of barbells, weight plates, and a room buzzing with energy, you’ve probably stumbled upon Body Pump — Les Mills’ original barbell workout that’s been changing bodies (and mindsets) worldwide for decades. For expats, it’s a fantastic way to join a community, learn proper strength training technique, and stay consistent even in a new country. Whether your goal is to get stronger, leaner, or just feel more confident in your own skin, Body Pump delivers. The Basics Body Pump is a total-body strength workout using a barbell and adjustable weight plates. The magic lies in the low weight, high repetition formula — you’ll lift lighter weights than you might expect, but for far more reps, leading to serious muscle endurance and toning without bulking up. Every class is choreographed to music, with each track targeting a specific muscle group — legs, chest, back, shoulders, arms, and core — for a bala...

Confidence begins in the gym

  Confidence Begins in the Gym Confidence isn’t something you magically gain — it’s something you build, rep by rep. If you’re new to the gym or returning after years (kids, career, expat life, life chaos), stepping inside can feel intimidating. But confidence grows fast when you focus on skills instead of perfection. Start with simple movements: squats, deadlifts, rows, core work. Learn good form. Celebrate small improvements. If you go to cycle classes or Les Mills sessions like Body Pump , let the instructor guide you — that’s what they’re trained for. For expats in Doha, the gym can also become your community. You meet people, make friends, and develop routines that anchor your lifestyle. The gym becomes more than a place to train — it becomes a place to grow. Confidence doesn’t come from looking a certain way. It comes from showing up for yourself consistently. If you want an instant confidence boost, wearing gym clothes that feel good ( Adidas , Lululemon , etc.) mak...
