UK BLACK BUSINESS GUIDE 2021-22
It’s never too late to start your fitness journey WHO AM I I’m Janet a proud mother of two sons. I am a Qualified Salsa/Bachata Dance Teacher and Qualified Level 2Gym Instructor & Level 3 Personal Trainer. I have two health conditions, Fibromyalgia and Neurocardiogenic Syncope. Also I’m 51 and Proud ! HISTORY AND EXPERIENCE I have, from a very young age always been into dancing, contemporary dance, Latin and Ballroom, Salsa and Bachata and more recently Kizomba. I have been teaching Salsa and Bachata dance for 10 years and ran my own Salsa classes and club night under the name of Lets Go Salsa! I have also been a regular gym goer and had a few Personal Trainers to help me on my journey. I left attending the gym for a period due to ‘Life’ getting in the way but also suffering from a condition I did not understand at the time. It was around 2002 that I was diagnosed with having Neurocardiogenic Syncope (a type of faint)
and it was 2013 that I was also diagnosed with having Fibromyalgia, a condition that causes chronic pain and many other symptoms. I was ready to give up my dancing in 2013 as dancing was becoming exhausting, painful and caused many Fibromyalgia flare-ups. After being diagnosed with Fibromyalgia I did my own research on the condition and found there was a specialist clinic in London which had a Fibromyalgia pain management course. I asked immediately for a referral which turned out to be the best thing I could’ve done as it changed the way I thought and felt about having the condition. The consultant advised me not to give up dancing but to actually try going to the gym and doing some light weights......best advice I had ! It gave me kick start I needed and I went back to the gym, got a Personal Trainer and I’ve never looked back since. Attending the gym has improved my quality of life, I’m stronger, healthier, happier and my fibromyalgia , I now control it, it does not control me. I have been on my fitness journey consistently for the last 6 years and I continue to challenge myself and my learning never stops.
