Personal Training

I believe in a well-rounded and varied fitness programme, to keep you engaged and evolving within our wellness routine. Exercises are derived from activities that you enjoy, from cycling to Pilates, or dance to martial arts. Bodyweight training is an underlying principle for many of the exercises, along with a range of equipment to suit your tastes and goals.

Training can be one-to-one (from £40) or semi-private (groups of two or three; from £23 p.p.), conducted at home or outdoors. Get in touch to find out about rates and discounts for multiple sessions.

Group Training

Classes have the ability to keep us motivated, accountable to others and socially engaged while we exercise. Some of my classes are geared towards parents with little ones in tow, though anyone is welcome and encouraged to attend, with or without children. Classes range from cardio interval and strength training mixes, to flexibility training and Barre. Settings include outdoor options in scenic spots, whatever the weather, but a range of indoor options are available in local studios and community centres!

About

Elisabeth Watson

All my life, I have been in a constant state of motion, whether through dance, fitness, or travel. A native of Washington, D.C., I began dancing at a young age, and my passion for jazz, ballet, and contemporary dance led me to pursue a career in fitness training. Outside of fitness, I studied Romance Languages and Literatures at Wesleyan University in Connecticut, travelling and studying in Spain, Italy and throughout Europe, and later managing programmes for other university students to take their education abroad.

When I began Fired Up Fitness in 2005 in Washington, DC, I thrived on the group dynamics in classes such as total body conditioning, cardio kickboxing, aerobics, stretch and Spinning®. Personal Training has always excited me, as I love the journey of helping someone grow to their strongest and healthiest self, all while getting to know them and their story. In more recent years, since having my own children and moving from London to Cornwall in 2011, some of my fitness classes have shifted to cater to parents with babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers in tow. At Buggy Burn, our kids play around us while we workout and everyone has a brilliant time. I love that the kids grow up with the understanding that exercise is fun, part of the routine and helps build friendships and communities. After the class is finished, we spill out onto the beach and spend time getting to know one another, discussing the highs, lows and inevitable mysteries of parenthood and child development, forging lasting bonds in the process.

Community continues to be at the heart of what I do. I'm very lucky to be part of an amazing group of passionate and strong women who teach for Embrace Dance Fitness in Penryn, where we are supported by a fantastic community of enthusiastic participants. My seated fitness classes at the Dracaena Centre and Age UK bring me closer to yet another side of my community, where we learn from one another about how to maintain function and flexibility with our bodies as we age or as injury may alter our mobility, and we sing and laugh throughout. Teaching in local villages, such as Mylor Bridge and Constantine, gives me a great sense of appreciation for the unique personalities of our smaller Cornish enclaves and I'm happy to bring a bit of my own fitness flavour to these areas.

I hold multiple certifications as a Personal Trainer and Group Exercise Instructor:

* Personal Trainer & Group Fitness Instructor, American Council on Exercise
* Certificate in Pre- and Post-Natal Exercise Prescription, Premier Training International
* Suspension System Training Instructor, Quantum HFE
* Spinning® Instructor, Mad Dogg Athletics
* BOSU Integrated Balance Training Specialty Certificate, Moves International Fitness
* Pilates Mat Certification, PowerHouse Pilates
* Small Ball Pilates course, Emma Newham Fitness
* Better Bones for Osteoporosis Pilates Training, Pure Moves Pilates
* Adult and Child First Aid & CPR, First Aid Cornwall
