SOPHIE RAY - PERSONAL TRAINER
BIO
Whilst Sophie has always been active, regularly participating in team sports as a teenager, her real passion for exercise and nutrition came from working in care homes where she witnessed first hand what a life a of neglect does to a persons body when they get older. Sophie made the decision that she would not only never let herself be debilitated in this way but she would help others also by becoming a personal trainer. Since joining Equilibrium Sophie's passion for strength training has gone from 'strength to strength' setting a personal best of 45 kilos on the bench press just weeks after joining the studio.
Sophie is dedicated to getting her clients to their individual goals but especially loves helping people get stronger. In recent months Sophie took a beginner client from a 20 kilo deadlift to 75 kilos in just 12 weeks! But more than just heavy deadlifts Sophie's client succesfully integrated fitness and healthy eating habits into her lifestyle for the first time in years.
