ABOUT

take-2 fitness was started in September 2007 by myself, Melanie Jones.

 After working as a pharmacist for over 20 years (BSc.hons (1st class) pharmacy 1986 Herriot- Watt University Edinburgh) but spending most of my leisure time at the gym or running I decided a career change was necessary and wanted to be more pro-active rather than re-active in the health, fitness and wellbeing world. I started a ‘Total Immersion Diploma’ with Future Fit Training in January 2007, completeing my final module in December 2008. The diploma included-
       • Nutrition;
       • Advanced nutrition(sport related);
       • Gym instructor (level2);
       • Circuit training, Torso training & core stability;
       • Advanced gym instructor & Personal Trainer (level 3);
       • GP referral;
       • Pilates matwork – beginner, improver & advanced;
       • Step;
       • Choreography and conditioning

As a result of this I also resumed teaching group fitness classes, something I had done in the late nineties after becoming a Jazzercise teacher during a year’s stay in the USA.
