Philosophy:
My dad died from a heart attack in his 30ies. I had not been too concerned about my health as I had always been "fit enough", but then as I got older and spend more time sitting (at a desk, in the car or on the couch!) I found that my metabolism was slowing down and then when I was 26, I realised that I was heading down the same path as my father, getting a bit overweight, being inactive and not listening to my bodies screams for attention!
So I started to make some changes, going for short runs and putting together a fitness plan. Amazed at the results those simple changes brought about, I was inspired to find out how much more I could accomplish.
Now, just a few years later, I am about to run the London Marathon.
In discovering fitness for my self, I also discovered a new career which allows me to help others in their quest for a healthier way of life.
Just remember: "I can. I will."

Gena Davidson
Gena is the newest edition to Free Form Fitness and she heads the Yoga classes and courses as well as private session all around London.
Gena began practicing
dance when she was 8 and enjoyed the freedom and the
discipline of ballet. After high school she started practicing yoga
because she found the same principles as she did in dance.
Gena has
been
practicing yoga for more then 12 years now and after have tried to
practice as
many different styles as possible, has found that Vinyasa flow was
what suited her most, finding in it the perfect balance of being a
challenging yet calming workout. She finally made the decision to leave
her office
job after finding that being stationary for such long periods of time
made her feel tired, stressed and unhappy. She wanted to improve her
life both
physically and mentally while helping others at the same time.
So she went off to Brazil for a few months to do her yoga teacher
training in some of the most wonderful settings.
Her
love for yoga and her honest caring intentions towards students
permeates her classes and if the feel of grass and the open air are not
enough to make your day great, her energy and enthusiasm will.

Philosophy
As personal trainers, our clients entrust us with the most valuable of assets: their body and their health. And it is our responsibility to validate the trust placed in us. With all the information and misinformation available to almost everybody today, it is up to us to be as informed as we possible can be, to be able to guide our clients through the various fads and trends and assist them as best as we can to establish realistic goals and challenges that will meet their specific needs as individuals and not hand out cookie-cutter style programmes.
I have a holistic approach to fitness, taking into consideration all aspects of a client's lifestyle to ensure the programme choices are suitable. By implementing diet and nutrition as well as a complex exercise regime ranging form core stability and balance training to develop functional strength and power throughout the entire kinetic chain to more high energy drills and endurance training, results are not limited to one single goal but make themselves apparent in many different forms. Experience has taught me that clients who are presented with constant challenges and an ever-evolving fitness programme will be much more likely to stick to it and I do my best to keep the programmes as interesting as possible by bringing a great variety of exercises into the session. The passion and enthusiasm I have for fitness seems to rub off on my clients which always helps in establishing long-lasting working relationships, as the original goals are being achieved and replaced by new ones, with endless possibilities of improvement..
After all, the way is the goal.
