Felicity Daley Personal Training – Be your best “you”

This is my first blog for Wellbeing and I am looking forward to sharing my knowledge and passion for fitness, and motivating you to take the challenge of becoming the best “you” that you can be!

I am a qualified personal trainer and am currently undertaking a degree in exercise and sports science, as well as an advanced diploma in nutritional medicine. I love everything related to health and fitness and strongly believe that a balanced, multifaceted approach that includes regular exercise, healthful nutrition, adequate rest and mental and emotional wellbeing is essential in achieving true “health”.
