Hi I’m Penny, the business manager at DR Inclusive Fitness and Wellbeing. I am the woman behind the scenes keeping everything running smoothly. I’m also allowed out of the office and on to the gym floor as one of the personal trainers.
I worked within social care for 20 years, the last8 of those for a local authority as an SDS Co-ordinator specialising in the development and delivery of statutory social care services for disabled children.

I joined the DR Inclusive Fitness and Wellbeing team because I wanted to combine my passion for keeping fit and healthy with my experience in removing barriers disabled people face daily. I saw the excellent work that DR Inclusive Fitness and Wellbeing was doing and wanted to be a part of it and now they can’t get rid of me. I love the family feel our gyms have and that each and every client becomes a part of our growing family.

I am a mum to two beautiful children and we spend our time adventuring in the Scottish Borders, so if I’m not in the gym I am having fun with the kids. Not a bad life to be fair.

My Favourite work out song:
I drive the team mad with my love of Disney songs and classical music

My Favourite movie:
Stardust and anything Disney (I have two young children and use this as a justification for my movie choice)

My Favourite snack:

Interesting fact about me:
I used to race yachts for a living and arrived in Scotland for the first time on a 65 foot yacht called Desperado, I jumped ship and never left.
