Kate Reece
Meet Kate Reece, one of our tutors for Hampshire.
Before Origym, Kate was a professional dancer for 20 years. During that time, she trained in Barre and fell in love with the teaching aspect of it. It was this desire to teach which led her to switch the dance studio for the fitness studio, completing her fitness qualifications in gym instruction, personal training, and teaching yoga.
I find teaching extremely rewarding! I love being able to share my knowledge and passion with students, not only regarding yoga but all things fitness and health related.

Kate's Qualifications:
- Level 2 in Gym Instructing
- Level 3 in Personal Training
- Level 3 in Teaching Yoga
- AVRA Teaching & Assessing qualification
What do Kate's students think?
Kate was absolutely amazing! Very knowledgeable and thorough. It was an absolute pleasure to work with her, she made things very easy and understandable.

Testimonials

Dean Dallas
Personal TrainerThank you for such a wonderful experience!
Before OriGym Dean was pursuing a career in football. After setbacks due to injury, Dean developed an interest in strength and conditioning and injury prevention, pivoting his career into becoming a qualified personal trainer.
OriGym really stood out to me because I was able to complete my Level 2 Gym Instructor and Level 3 Personal Trainer qualifications in my own time without deadlines. This really took the stress off and allowed me to go about my daily schedule without interruption.
The tutors at OriGym created a great support network and provided us with practical workshops to further our development. I am now a certified personal trainer and can’t wait to help future clients in achieving their goals!

Heather Hacking
Founder of Heather Hacking PTFantastically Structured & Well Organised
As a mother of three children after spending the past nine years building her career as a solicitor, Heather made the decision to follow a life-long passion for health, wellness and fitness, and pursue a career as a personal trainer.
Studying part-time with OriGym to fit around family and work, I achieved my Level 2 Gym Instructor and Level 3 Personal Training qualifications. I found OriGym’s courses to be fantastically structured and well organised, and my tutor Andy Tsang was brilliant - he taught me so much!
After graduating I started my fitness business with the sole purpose of empowering women, both physically and mentally. My business has now been shortlisted as a finalist in the ‘Breakthrough Personal Trainer’ category at Northern Ireland’s Health & Fitness Awards 2019 - I am so thrilled! I am very grateful to OriGym for giving me such a great foundation to launch my business from.

Guy Thompson
Former Leicester & Wasps Rugby PlayerBefore studying with OriGym, Guy was a professional Ruby player for both Wasps and Leicester Tigers and is currently playing for Eailing. Guy chose to complete his fitness qualifications with OriGym as the option to study around his career via online learning and OriGym looked the most "simple and professional" compared to other providers.
After being in and around professional sport for 13 years, this is a natural progression after learning from World Leading S&C coaches. Becoming a personal trainer will allow me to implement this knowledge for helping people and helping people achieve their goals away from sport. I'd really want to focus on helping people in their everyday lives through both mental and physical wellbeing.
OriGym's tutors have been excellent, with great feedback and the content is perfect for someone looking to get started in the industry.

I have had such a wonderful experience with Origym. I started and completed my Level 2 Gym Instructor theory within lockdown and passed my practical after lockdown. The Origym tutors were super helpful with feedback on work. Also, the programme design had lots of information and I could work at my own pace!
