About your instructor – Amy Lessiter

FdSc, BA (HONS), (MSMA)

My name is Amy Lessiter, owner of Real Fitness Solutions, which offers a wide range of fitness and health related services in the North Devon area. I’ve always had a keen interest in fitness and sport throughout my life and after becoming a mother, I decided on a career change to pursue a long-held aspiration of studying the human body and its relationship with sport, physical activity and health outcomes.

Qualifications

I began my studies with the University of Plymouth achieving a Foundation degree in Science (FdSc) with Distinction in Sport; Coaching, Health and Fitness. I then completed my degree with the University of St Mark & St John (Marjon) with a First Class Honours degree in BA (Hons) Sports Development and Coaching.

Throughout these studies I have covered a broad spectrum of sport, fitness and health related topics, such as sport development and coaching, principles of health and fitness, pedagogy in sport, biomechanics of sport, health promotion, sports psychology, human performance in sport, exercise prescription and behaviour change.

Since then, I have continued my professional development with qualifications in Sports Massage Therapy, Personal Training and Instruction, Exercise Referral and a wide range of individual sports related qualifications from institutions such as British Gymnastics, the England and Wales cricket board (ECB), Rugby Football Union (RFU), Mini-me yoga, England Boxing and Sports Coach UK.

Goals

I thoroughly enjoy helping people to discover enjoyment in keeping active and the positive benefits that result from participating in physical activity on a regular basis. Taking part in sport or physical activity is an individual preference and there is no ‘one size fits all’ solution, which is why I feel passionate about enabling individuals to find an activity that they enjoy and can engage with on a long term basis rather than a short term fix.

Even if you have never done any form of exercise or activity in your life so far, it is never too late to start, and we can help you explore what works for you. Real Fitness Solutions is about helping ‘Real’ people find their individual ‘Fitness Solutions’ to improve their health and well-being in the long term.

“I struggle with old age and football injuries from my lower back and all over my legs, after a massage from Amy, I feel more supple and stronger to start exercising again. I wouldn’t be without her.”
