Donna Jackson is now available for PT sessions. She specialises in women’s health, nutrition and body image, helping women to feel empowered and confident.

Donna says “Personal training is more than simply showing you exercises and counting your reps. It is a chance for me to help you transform your mindset, and therefore your life. When you have a positive relationship with exercise and your body and speak to yourself with respect and kindness, you will be much more likely to stay consistent and keep showing up for yourself. My coaching style is all about building up your confidence (both inside and outside the gym) and building trust in your ability to succeed. This will enable you to make fundamental, long-term shifts so you can coach yourself way beyond our PT sessions. It can sometimes be hard to see ourselves as a worthy investment, especially if we naturally prioritise others or doubt ourselves. But if you want to make positive changes in your life, you deserve to.

If anyone would like to have a chat before committing, I am more than happy to connect”.

We would like to introduce you to Donna our new health and fitness instructor at Westbank Gym. 🎉

Hi,

I’m Donna

I have always been deeply interested in helping people improve their health and wellbeing and decided to become a personal trainer and fitness instructor 6 years ago. I loved running a bootcamp at my corporate job in London and took the leap a few years ago to leave the corporate world and become an online health coach focusing on nutrition habits and body image. I feel very fortunate to be working at Westbank Gym as it really aligns with my values and beliefs around exercise being available to everyone and making such a positive impact on people’s lives.

I currently run two podcasts – one with amazing individuals who have overcome adversity and the other about raising the standards across the health and fitness coaching space. I love Thailand and I’m lucky enough to have spent a lot of time there over the years training at various fitness camps and enjoying the stunning islands. I love hiking, which took me to Nepal to trek the Annapurna Base Camp. It is one of my favourite memories. I moved to Devon 4 years ago after meeting my partner on a holiday down here.

Donna will be delivering all sorts of exercise classes, assisted sessions, personal training and nutritional coaching.

To book in with Donna please email fitness@westbank.org.uk.
