My name is Dawn Barratt-Johnson and I am a Personal Trainer, Sports Massage Therapist and Nutritional Advisor based in Cambridge dedicated to people’s fitness and general well being.

I’ve been involved in sport most of my life and have competed nationally in athletics, netball, horse riding and dance as well as coaching various teams. Sounds good, but believe me, I never found it easy. My weight yo-yoed as a teenager even although I was pretty
hyperactive!!

Working with other people either part of a team or in a one to one situation made all the difference. Apart from firing up the competitive streak, I never liked letting people down whether it was my coach or fellow team mates. But above all it was far more FUN!!!

Like most people I have had a variety of jobs from sales and marketing to a home visit carer for the disabled and elderly. I like to think that my background and experiences enables me to relate and empathize with people from all walks of life.

After working in industry, I decided to combine fitness with my other passion, which is helping people, especially with regards to achieving their own personal goals. There simply is nothing better than sharing your knowledge, motivating whilst making it fun and seeing people improve and achieve things that they never thought possible.

I like to take an integrated approach to fitness and health ensuring
that my clients have an all round healthy lifestyle.
