About

AbsoFIT was founded in 2016 by Joanna Wallace, a Mum of two, runner and fitness fanatic….

I’ve always been into fitness in some shape or form. I ran the Glasgow Women’s 10k in May 2008 and became hooked on running. Since then, my passion for fitness has grown and in 2016 I took the step to change my career and follow my passion; AbsoFIT was born.

A lot of people come to me a little bit lost and it brings me so much joy to see them feeling confident, empowered, and loving life after our work together. I LOVE to move, it’s my go to in the bad times and the good and I am so passionate about sharing that with the people who work with me. As a coach you’ll find me confident and supportive. Don’t worry about being ‘fit enough’ to join me as my vast experience means that my sessions are inclusive of all abilities. Knowing how hard it can be to fit everything in, I offer child-friendly classes. I try to make my workouts as varied, fun and challenging as possible to each individual. I know people can lose motivation easily, become bored and want to give up, it's my job to keep you motivated and push you further in your training and hopefully some of my own passion will rub off on you!

As a Mum of two, I know how important it is to look after your body pre and post birth and introduce the right exercise the right way. I gained my Pre/Post Natal qualification so I could specialise in this area. I am continually looking to further my education and progress as a trainer in this area and have completed a Burrel Education qualification Level 2 Post-Natal Wellness Practioner, Beyond The Qualifications with Lyndsey Roberts, founder of Strong Like a Mutha and The Female Athlete course with physio Antony Lo

And most importantly the best thing about all this is that I love it. I love the buzz of seeing people working hard, enjoying the training and getting the results, whatever they may be. I love the flexibility, it allows me to still spend time with my family, but also have something for me that I am passionate about. AbsoFIT is a community, a family and a safe and welcoming space. I’m working hard to build a community of epic humans who are there for each other, as well as themselves, and I can’t wait to welcome you in!
