Hi! I’m Teresa
I’m the owner and coach behind Grit & Grace.
I started working as a PT in 2018, after building up my own fitness and falling in love with everything the human body is capable of. I am now a volunteer with British Obstacle Sports developing other coaches in obstacle sports!
I used to be very unfit, never did any exercise and spent most of my time playing video games (I still do this in my spare time, though). I had my “quarter life crisis” at age 25 - and realised I wanted to be more like the characters I play in games - ready to take on anything!
Now, I am a powerlifting, hand-standing, ninja nerd!
My own training focuses on the big three powerlifting movements (Squat, Bench, Deadlift) with calisthenics (bodyweight) training on the side to make sure I’m fully functional.
I have competed in Powerlifting and have competed internationally in ninja sport. I love adventure (climbed to Everest base camp, surfing/skiing, and martial arts!)
I always aim to have fun - with my own workouts and those I deliver to you!

Hi! I’m Lily
I’m the assistant coach at Grit & Grace.
I am a Miniature Schnauzer.
I’m a very good girl and can often be found dropping in to Zoom sessions to make sure you’re all working very hard!
I love tennis balls, long walks, and I’m always happy to have a cuddle.
