Polina Banushkina

Personal Trainer

How can I help you improve your health?

I’ve been working in the fitness industry for more than 10 years and it has led me to understand that every client is unique with their own goals, lifestyle and fitness experience. For every goal, my role is to design and deliver a personalised programme that is rewarding, efficient and lifestyle changing.

What my Clients say:

From the first session I really enjoyed our training. You can instantly tell she is so motivating and passionate about helping people achieve their goals. During the first month I lost 2-3 kg in weight. I found my core strength improve really quickly and tone up, which I’m so happy about as it was an area I didn’t like about myself. Thanks Polina!

Catherine Flanagan

Wellbeing Personal Trainer

How can I help you improve your health?

Whether you’re new to the gym or a seasoned gym goer, I’m here to help you progress and achieve your goals. Fitness is more than just weight loss, it’s about how you feel and perform. From my time as a personal trainer I’ve learnt we all need different approaches to change. Therefore I take a personalised approach to ensure you’re on the right path for your needs and goals. With my degrees in Nutrition and Exercises Sciences, you will gain evidence-based advice, which is easy to understand and implement into daily life. Equipping you with the knowledge and confidence to accomplish your goals and improve your wellbeing.

  • Level 3 Ante and Post-natal Instructor

What my Clients say:

"For each session, Catherine had planned different exercises or circuits specifically tailored to my current ability and my goals. This made the training super fun and kept me motivated! She helped me to better understand exercise and training, by teaching me what muscles were engaged during each exercise, and teaching me the importance of timing and breathing to help with completing each rep - particularly during those last few challenging ones! She was full of encouragement and positivity and I left our block of personal training sessions with a breadth of knowledge that I am going to be able to use in my own workouts going forwards. Catherine is an expert in her field, with an abundance of training, fitness and dietary knowledge, she is reliable and consistent and as long as you’re prepared to put in the hard work, then Catherine is definitely the perfect PT for you."

Darren James

  • I use a training method called Functional Patterns which caters specifically to our genetic traits as humans.
  • With this and other training tools I can help you to alleviate all types of physical restriction, distortion and discomfort – such as poor posture, scoliosis, back pain, sciatica, frozen shoulder and joint problems.
  • I'll help you build a super resilient body which is less likely to break down.
  • We’ll give you specific steps to improve your core strength and durability and help you eliminate bad habits which contribute to debilitating injuries and pain.
  • I think it is so important to link our physical health to our mental health and can work with you to connect the two.

What my Clients say:

"Coming from a 9-5 office job, sat at my desk for the majority of the day, my posture and overall fitness was at an all-time low. I needed a sustainable lifestyle change - that’s where I enlisted the helpful services of Darren. In my first two months of training, I could really feel my body becoming stronger and I was moving my body with so much more confidence.  Now I’m 6 months into my journey and I have lost 1.st 3.0 lbs (17 lbs / 7.7 kg). Weight-loss aside my posture has transformed dramatically, and my mental health has also improved."
