I first started working in the fitness industry in 2018 starting as a class instructor and over the years have been keen to grow my skill set whenever I can.  I enjoy seeing the customer journey from the beginning, it’s nice to watch people’s confidence develop during their time at MLC and being able to help play a part in that for some is very rewarding.

Dionne

Studio Instructor

Level 2 Fitness instructor
Level 3 Personal Trainer
Level 4 Neurological specialist for exercise

Continuing my love of exercise after leaving the Royal Navy in 2015, I moved to Scotland and joined MLC. I mostly enjoy heavy cardio and strength-based exercise and recently starting to compete in competitions. This year I will enter my first Hyrox in Glasgow, an achievement at 42 years old. My passion within my work is seeing people progress and develop. People tell me all the time that they feel they “can’t do something” with a little help, support and guidance, later down the line they are doing what they thought was out of their capability. This makes me happy
