The Team

Jo Lang

Personal Trainer

Jo is a Personal Trainer with a unique vantage point here at MWFITNESS. This is because she understands the role from both sides of the fence. Starting out as a client with Mike she achieved incredible results including a weight loss of 3 st 7 lbs and more impressively a 10% reduction in body fat.

Health and fitness quickly became such an important part of her life that she wanted to become more involved.

Bio
I started personal training in a client capacity in 2009, which is when I started to take my fitness seriously. Since then, I have been on an incredible journey with both highs and lows, but the rewards are immeasurable.

I qualified as a Personal Trainer at the age of 46 and this experience has inspired me to realise my passion. I am really excited to put my wealth of knowledge into practice and I am committed to making your experience as rewarding as mine. Together, we can reach your goals.

Marie Hick

Personal Trainier

I have always been interested in exercise and wellbeing. I was a keen runner from a young
age and studied Sports Science at university. But I wasn’t very confident, and because I was
also good with computers, I ended up pursuing a successful career in IT.

I spent many years working for Tesco leading major projects, but I managed to pick up my running again,
joining a local running club and completed the London Marathon in the year 2000 along
with numerous other races and events.

As time went on, friends and family would ask my advice on getting fit or preparing for
races. I really enjoyed helping people and I so in 2015, I decided to take the plunge and
qualify as a Personal Trainer, Pilates instructor and Nutritional Therapist.

My Passion, Career and Approach

My passion is in supporting people to be the best and healthiest they can be by bringing
together the right exercise, nutrition and lifestyle advice.
Having juggled a busy corporate career with family life, I understand the challenges
of modern-day living and how easy it is to put your wellbeing to the bottom of the priority
list. My approach is about taking practical and achievable steps to empower you to reach
your goals.

As a PT and Pilates instructor I use each discipline to complement the other, which is
especially beneficial if you'd like to strengthen your core, improve mobility and alleviate
lower back pain.

Edward Waller

Acupuncturist

Edward is a traditional acupuncturist with a long-term interest in health. He completed a degree specialising in acupuncture augmented with complimentary techniques including gua sha, cupping, therapeutic massage techniques, auricular acupuncture and western medical acupuncture.

Edward is also a keen sportsman. He currently teaches Tae Kwon Do at a number of clubs and regularly competes at national and international levels.

Bio
As a member of the British Acupuncture Council (which is the main governing body for the practice of acupuncture in the UK) I aim to exceed the highest ethical standards and work to strict local and national health and hygiene standards.

I have spent considerable time working in the NHS (specialising in pain elimination and reduction through acupuncture) at Broomfield hospital. Working at Broomfield hospital has furthered my insight into using acupuncture in combination with Western medicine, in addition to its use as a stand-alone therapy.

My interest in acupuncture has been a natural progression from an early interest in sport and fitness, through general health to acupuncture specifically.

Edward is registered with many of the health insurance companies that now provide cover for acupuncture and is happy to discuss any questions you have regarding acupuncture and the benefit you can expect from it.
