Marie Hick
Personal Trainer and Clinical Nutritionist
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 wish to strengthen your core, improve mobility and alleviate
lower back pain.
