Hi I’m Jay!
It’s been quite the journey:
Blessed to have been raised in sunny South Africa, with the obligatory sticks of biltong (think beef jerky but better) and rugby ball in hand.
Having fallen short of my artistic goals as an oil painter - I decided to enrol at the local boxing gym to let off some steam and maybe build up my confidence! Within a year of my first introduction to boxing, I was hooked on fitness and had qualified as a Level 3 Personal Trainer.
In 12 years, I have gained qualifications in everything from tumbling on trampolines, to TRX, Pilates, Spinning, Kettlebells and EMS (Electro Muscular Stimulation). I’ve worked on cruise ships and have flown to many a bucket list destination, most recently finding myself training VIPs in Saudi Arabia.
This journey led me here, to RA in Dubai, where I’m excited to share all that I have learned with you.
What to expect in my class:
I am your friendly South African gentle giant. I will bring to you my experience from a multitude of different fitness disciplines; I truly hope to create a safe space to train in with a strong focus on form & technique. I’m here to help you ignite a healthy love for fitness, or simply find a distraction from your daily grind.
