My Story

Emma has been a part of the Barbell and Beyond team since 2022, bringing nearly four years of coaching experience and a friendly, supportive approach to each client. Originally from New Zealand, Emma graduated with Level 4 and 5 certification in Exercise. Her continued education and professional development includes specialisations in performance-based nutrition, perimenopause health, injury prevention and rehabilitation. She also recently completed the Barbell and Beyond Powerlifting Mentorship.

​

Emma’s coaching style is known for being approachable and down-to-earth, with a focus on helping people build strong, functional bodies that feel good and perform well. She has a particular passion for powerbuilding, guiding clients to feel more capable and confident through strength training while also achieving their aesthetic goals.

​

She brings a unique understanding of resilience to her coaching; after years of managing rheumatoid arthritis, her disciplined approach and extensive research allowed her to rebuild herself and return to competitive powerlifting without medication.

​

Emma’s clients appreciate her balanced approach, combining practical knowledge with genuine care for each person’s unique journey and goals.

Testimonials

"I chose Emma because I was wanting to explore the possibility of Powerlifting and I was recommended her by another trainer. Emma has helped me a lot and I’m now on a great programme to help achieve my goals. 

 

Emma is relatable, encouraging and knows my limits better than I do so I always get that extra push when I need it. Her online coaching is comprehensive. Emma puts a-lot of thought and effort into everything she does and her communication. 10/10 would recommend."

"I originally chose Emma as Personal Trainer as I wanted to learn how to properly deadlift and bench (obviously going to chose the best). Emma has not only done that, but I was extremely happy she also help me improve my squat and provided me with excellent programming. I decided to stay with Emma long term via her online coaching.

 

There was no doubt in deciding to continue on with Emma; she is incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely such a kind person. I feel like I’m in my element with Emma and 100% supported.

Emma pushes me to grow and expand and that’s exactly what I value.

 

Overall 10/10 - couldn’t be happier with my decision to onboard with Emma as a client "
