CATRINA POLLOCK

Hello, my name is Catrina. I am a Level 2 Fitness Coach and Level 3 Personal Trainer, specialising in weight loss and confidence building. Not long ago, I was working full-time as a nursery teacher, doing 40-hour weeks and believing I didn’t have the time, energy, or confidence to prioritise my own fitness. Like many people, the gym felt overwhelming, and I wasn’t sure where to start. But I made the decision to change.

I began training alongside my full-time job, slowly building habits, discipline, and confidence. What started as small steps turned into a complete lifestyle shift. As I grew stronger- both physically and mentally- I realised I wanted more than just my own transformation. I wanted to help others experience the same.

That journey gave me the confidence to reduce my working hours and take the leap into the fitness industry. I am now proudly starting my personal training career at PureGym, where I can support others who feel exactly how I once did.

I firmly believe that fitness should be accessible and never intimidating. My aim is to help clients develop simple, sustainable habits, feel progressively stronger each week, and grow in confidence both inside and outside the gym.

If you are seeking guidance, accountability, and understanding—especially if you find starting out overwhelming—I am here to support you at every stage of your journey. Having begun my own transformation at 27 stone and now reaching 19 stone, I know firsthand what it is like to start from scratch and build confidence in the gym. My journey is ongoing, and I have achieved my results naturally, so I truly understand the challenges and triumphs involved in making positive, lasting change.
