I loved being active before I took this leap and now I have a new found love for all things fitness and health. I'm pleased to say I passed my Level 3 Personal Trainer course! This wouldn’t have been possible without the support of my tutor Simon Holden and the staff at South Devon College; Niall Thompson, Teri Lyn Embley and Lynn Stephens. I am now excited for the future and what it will bring!Leanne Marie
