about rhiannon

I get it. Because I've lived it.

Before and after of Rhiannon's weight loss journey as the reason she gets it.

I'm Rhiannon, and if you've ever felt like fitness spaces weren't made for your brain, you're in the right place.

At 30, everything finally clicked when I was diagnosed with autism and ADHD. Suddenly, it all made sense; why gyms felt overwhelming, why typical workout plans never stuck, and why I'd spent years feeling like I was failing at something that seemed so easy for everyone else.

But here's the thing: I wasn't failing. The system was failing me. And probably you too.

My Story: 100lbs Down

Before and after of Rhiannon showing the 100lbs weight loss.

I've lost over 100lbs without surgery or shortcuts. I've also gained some back. Life happened. Burnout happened. Real life happened.

I'm not here to sell you a perfect transformation story because that's not how life works. What I can offer you is something more valuable: someone who understands that progress isn't linear, that setbacks are normal, and that sustainable change happens when you work with your brain, not against it.

My Reason Why

An image of Rhiannon as a headshot image.

After my diagnosis, I realised how many of us have been trying to force ourselves into neurotypical fitness moulds.

We might be masking our way through group classes, pushing through sensory overwhelm, and beating ourselves up when we can't stick to rigid routines that don't account for how our brains actually work.

I became a personal trainer because I wanted to create the space I wish I'd had; one where you don't have to pretend to be someone you're not to get healthy.

What Makes Me Different

I'm qualified, not just experienced.

I hold certifications in gym instruction, nutrition, and personal training, with more qualifications in progress. But my real expertise comes from combining professional training with lived experience.

I understand sensory needs.

Bright lights, loud music, crowded spaces; I know how overwhelming they can be. My approach considers your sensory world, not just your fitness goals.

I work with executive function, not against it.

ADHD brain? Autistic need for routine? I get it. My programs include flexible scheduling, accountability systems, and habit-building that actually sticks.

I celebrate neurodivergent strengths.

This isn't about fixing what's "wrong" with you. It's about building on what makes your brain amazing and finding movement that feels good in your body.

Beyond Personal Training

I'm not just about one-on-one sessions. I'm building a movement—a community where neurodivergent people can find their place in fitness.

Through my podcast, I share honest conversations about everything from gym anxiety to late diagnosis. In my free community, you'll find support, resources, and connection with others who get it. And yes, I also speak at events about neurodivergence, inclusivity, and making fitness accessible to everyone.

The Bottom Line

This isn't about chasing someone else's idea of perfect. It's about building confidence, understanding your body, and learning to move in ways that actually work for you.

You belong here. You deserve to be healthy. And you don't have to change who you are to get there.
