Hi, I’m Sian and I’ve been coaching CrossFit for over 6 years. I’m passionate about helping people improve their health, fitness & wellbeing. I believe in keeping standards high whilst making training fun – I think people should walk away from the gym feeling that they’ve had the best hour of their day. It’s a privilege as a coach to help people of all ages work towards their goals – whether it’s sports specific training, improving general fitness or returning from injury. I can’t wait to meet you!
My passion and interest in the fitness industry began by playing various sports to a high level and always being curious about the “performance” side of sport, was emphasised further when I suffered a serious injury in 2017 which left myself out of sport for 15 months and it clarified my interest to want to work in the industry.
Throughout my 4 year degree in Ireland I worked with various populations through personal training and also an elite football team which included periodisation of programming and carrying out performance testing as well over seeing the use of GPS technology, have experience of working with people of all age groups and love being able to impact peoples lives in a positive.
Qualifications:
BS.c (honours) in Sports performance
REP’s qualified group fitness instructor
REP’s qualified personal trainer
FAI coaching level 5

From a young age I have always loved sports and fitness. I enjoy weightlifting, touch rugby and football, amongst many other sports!
After studying sport science and strength and conditioning, naturally I got into coaching and personal training – I have helped many clients achieve their sport and fitness goals over the years. Having worked as an S&C
coach in professional sport (Sale Sharks, Manchester City academy, Burnley FC academy and Wellington Phoenix) I have gained valuable experience working with elite athletes.
After a year away traveling in New Zealand, I have decided to pursue my dreams
of opening a clinic to bridge the gap between physiotherapy and strength and conditioning. I recently enrolled on the Pre-registration Msc in physiotherapy at MMU and look forward to putting my learning into practice at Rx Physio.
Qualifications include:

Msc Strength & Conditioning

I have a deep passion for staying active and helping others do the same.
Before completing my MSc in Physiotherapy at Manchester Metropolitan University, I spent almost a decade as a Massage Therapist and Sports Therapist, working across Canada and the UK. This experience taught me the value of an integrated approach by combining manual therapy, education, and exercise to achieve long-lasting results.
I’ve had the privilege of working with Olympic medalists at British Cycling, professional athletes in various field sports, Hollywood actors, and an endless amount of weekend warriors such as myself. I believe that with the right guidance, everyone can move better, feel stronger, and reach their full potential.
I’m excited to join Rx Physio, where I aim to help you take charge of your health and performance. Whether you’re rehabilitating an injury, trying to decode your random aches and pains, or aiming to level up your performance, I look forward to helping you move better, feel stronger, and stay active for the long haul.
