BIG READ: Tipperary native is empowering people to have a healthier life
This week on the Local Business Promotion Series, I am delighted to be joined by Caroline Hosford, who has recently after launched her new business: Caroline Hosford Fitness.
Caroline is a native of Kilfeacle but moved to Ballinalard just outside Tipperary Town in her twenties with her family. Caroline is a teacher by profession and works with the ETB in the Further Education Training sector.
She holds a BSc in PE and Geography teaching and also a Master’s in Special Education and Additional Learning Needs.
Caroline has held a lifelong interest in fitness. In her youth she was heavily involved with Tipperary Hockey Club, athletics with Bansha Athletic Club and she also played Gaelic football.
She has been very passionate about sport all of her life and really enjoys being active, so it came as no surprise when Caroline decided to pursue her love for fitness further.
Having spent several years living in the UAE in Dubai and Abu Dhabi working as a teacher, she decided to pursue a Diploma in Personal Training and Nutrition. Caroline had begun training vigorously before she pursued the diploma and she used the diploma to educate herself all while gaining her new qualification.
Caroline is working primarily with female clients for now, and as part of Caroline’s new business, she has launched a new training programme Empowered.
The Empowered Programme is a 12-week online programme and aims to teach the clients to be the best they can be and to give them the confidence in their fitness journey going forward.
She aims to ensure people have a sustainability in their nutritional habits for life.
She works towards this through creating progressive changes and through flexible dieting, allowing for all foods to be catered for in your diet, while keeping your goals in mind.
Progressive and attainable changes to your lifestyle will accomplish your goals.
Caroline is very customer centred and she aims to fit your life around your training programmes.
Caroline feels her teaching background has benefited her greatly in pursuing her new business as she has a lot of experience in training and in teaching over many years.
One exciting development is that Caroline is about to launch an App for her business where you will be able to have weekly check-ins, look at your workouts for the week ahead, track your macros and your calories intake and contact Caroline with any queries that may have. Her new app will also have support videos for people to view.
Leading a healthy lifestyle can be daunting for many people but Caroline has a lovely way about her and makes people feel at ease as they attempt to pursue their fitness goals.
You can find Caroline’s new business on her Instagram page and on her new Facebook page: CarolineHosfordFitness to keep up to date with all her new developments.
Caroline is also a certified re and postnatal coach and she offers limited one to one PT sessions in the Extreme Gym in Tipperary Town.
She speaks so passionately about her love for fitness and she displays such a hard work ethic to ensure all your needs will be catered for and heard.
I would like to wish Caroline the very best of luck at her new business and I am sure that it will be a wonderful success for her.
