HELLS BELLS KETTLE BELLS


This class is taught by:

Olivia McConnell

I’ve always been a mover and a shaker – from a young age, I could usually be found twirling around anything that resembled a stage! That love for movement carried me through years as a competitive gymnast and dancer, and it’s a passion that has stuck with me ever since. While working full-time in international aid and development consulting, I decided to follow that lifelong love of movement and completed my group fitness qualification in 2022. Since then, I’ve been teaching a range of classes including sculpt, fitness rebounder, and full body barbell classes. Always looking for a new challenge, I eventually stepped into a hot Pilates and sculpt class and was instantly hooked. The combination of heat, focus, and full-body strength was like nothing I’d experienced before.

As an instructor, my goal is to create an upbeat, empowering space where everyone feels confident enough to challenge themselves. I’m big on form, technique, and positive reinforcement – but I also believe a little shimmy never hurts. See you in class for a sweat, a smile, and maybe a cheeky dance break!

Elspeth Yeldham

During my career in investment banking and recruitment, I was always training in the gym or running half marathons to keep me mentally and physically strong to cope with the stress of the City. After I had my family, I wanted to maintain that strength and endurance without the stress. I trained with British Military Fitness for years and qualified as a Personal Trainer in 2012. I was introduced to Kettlebells and was instantly hooked. The sessions are short, sharp and effective. Using a kettlebell works far more muscle groups than almost any other exercise, so you get a true all over workout - it improves posture as your whole body has to work to stabilise and move the kettlebell. I won’t even mention the calorie burn….. a total win win. My focus and my attention will always be on your safety and your form. I will never compromise your form for weight. The body is designed to move and lift - let’s get it moving.

I previously worked in investment banking and was constantly on the look out for activities and ways to help me relax, unwind and de stress. The moment I walked into the hot room in 2007, I knew I had found what I was looking for. I love the mental, physical and emotional challenges each class throws at you, combined with the amazing sense of peace and calm afterwards. Not forgetting to mention that Paul Dobson was my first ever teacher so how could I resist!
I decided to ditch the corporate world and complete my Bikram Yoga TT in LA in 2013.

Now I have 2 small children, I value and love my practise even more. It always reminds me to be kind to myself, enjoy life and remember what truly matters. I hope I make my students feel that way too x ❤️
