From a young age, Gabriella fell in love with playing sport, and excelled in tennis, achieving full provincial colours and earning a nomination for sportswoman of the year, two years running. As she got older, her passion for sport grew as well as her need and want to help people, which left her wondering if the two things that she loved the most could be combined.

With an undergraduate degree in BA Sports Psychology already under her belt, Gabriella wished to use her knowledge and experience to work with sports related injuries and issues. It wasn’t until she was introduced to the field of Biokinetics that she came to learn more about those suffering with autoimmune, neurological and chronic conditions, and realised that she could make more of an impact working in this area than she could ever do with sports.

And with that, Gabriella began working to turn her dream into a reality, completing her Bachelor of Arts Honours in Biokinetics at the University of Johannesburg, South Africa, in 2015. She continued to participate in sport, moving away from tennis and into indoor and outdoor football, whilst continuing to expand her knowledge through courses in sports massage, nutrition and sports nutrition.

Her determination and persistence to work in her chosen field landed her an internship at the Centre for Diabetes and Endocrinology in South Africa. During this time, she received extensive training and became certified in dealing with diabetes and diabetic related complications. Gabriella then obtained a position with a practice as a full time Biokineticist, where she began actively working with autoimmune, neurological, chronic and special populations.

As a Biokineticist, Gabriella is professionally trained to apply and prescribe exercises and physical activity specific to a person and their individual needs. Her knowledge of human movement and her understanding of a broad range of diseases and how they impact an individual, allows her to treat a patient holistically in order to achieve the best possible outcome. From this aspect she can then actively apply exercise interventions and rehabilitation techniques to influence and change a person’s life.

Gabriella’s desire to keep learning, which also allows her to see her patient’s bodies in a different light, comes from studying a variety of different courses that separate her from many other professionals within in her field. Throughout 2017 she completed courses that stimulated her mind and enabled her patients positively. She took it one step further by achieving her level 1 and level 2 with Douglas Heel’s Be activated 123 – a course that truly honed her holistic approach, from analysing breathing techniques, through to posture and correct movement abilities – altering the body to perform its basic movements.

Away from work, Gabriella enjoys participating in Calisthenics which not only allows her to keep her body strong, but also acts as her stress relief. She enjoys reading, learning new things and actively engaging with people to expand her knowledge of the world and current affairs. Her move to London in 2022 allows her to influence and bring change to a new group of people and also to grow as a person both in personal and business life.

With over a decade of training experience Sydney took up life as a PT after his father fell ill due to poor eating habits.

Since then, he has gained multiple certifications and proudly led several athletes to breaking and holding multiple British, European and world powerlifting records, including a successful defence of the world title in July 2022.

After suffering a back injury in a cycling accident, Sydney became obsessed with human movement and how each of our body parts are connected to each other through movement. Believing firmly in applying science to every aspect of training to maximise potential results and minimise injury risk, naturally Sydney’s motto became; Better Movement, Better Performance.

Sydney takes both a practical and theoretical scientific approach to assess his clients and structure suitable training programs. His programs are progressive to allow for gradual increments in load, and dynamic to enable changes to be made when needed.

In addition to his health & fitness qualifications, Sydney also has a Diploma in Applied Science & Medical Science, from Kingston college. In between his busy training schedules, you can rely on this PT being up to date with a multitude of sports from Football, Formula One, Rugby, Tennis, Bodybuilding, Strongman, and many more. He also enjoys long walks and deep conversations about life’s mysteries.
