Who We Are

Qualified L3 Personal Trainer and Nutritionist, Lorraine Russell (@misslalaworks) decided to pursue a career in the fitness industry after turning her life around after years of battling with her own weight issues.

Coming from a very sporty family, Lorraine always had a love of sport, taking up many varied sports as child into her teens years, ranging from swimming, ice skating, judo, dance and running track. However, like many teenagers, once puberty hit, and being left to her own devices to eat unlimited unhealthy foods during her time in secondary school, Lorraine’s weight began to spiral out of control.

Weighing her heaviest at one point (around 17 stone), she struggled to lose weight, even though she was still very active in her sporting activities. After a number of years dissatisfied with her health and fitness, Lorraine decided to make significant changes to the way she trained and ate.

She started documenting her progress via her social media platforms, gaining attention from followers who asked if she could train them. The requests soon helped her reach two significant decisions in her life. One was to qualify as a personal trainer, the other was to compete in a body building show.

She managed to reach both goals set within a year and a half, competing for Pure Elite (Bikini category) and the PCA (Physical Culture Association) in their bikini trained category.

Now Lorraine uses her knowledge and experience to teach her clients about making fitness a part of their lifestyle.
