LIFE SO FAR…

Hi there, I’m Ruby - a 26 year old girl who turned around the trajectory of her life and is now on a mission to help others do the same. I’m a lover of all things health and fitness, outdoors and most importantly fun! Through my past experiences, beliefs and passion for life I created Thrive Fitness and Personal Training. now Thrive with Ruby, A place where anyone is welcome and everyone is supported. 

For a bit of background and little bit about my life so far, I had a great childhood growing up very close to the beach so naturally I have a very outdoor based lifestyle which I absolutely love and wouldn’t change for the world! I wasn’t a super confident kid when it came to sports but always gave everything a go. When I hit my teenage years I suffered with some mental health issues which put me in a very dark place. 

Once I started getting some help from professionals it was recommended to start working out at the gym, so I signed up with my cousin and we started training at the gym with very little idea of what to do. We signed up to an online workout program which was a printed out PDF (lol). We would take it with us to the gym which gave us something to follow along and stay consistent with. 

I found a love for working out! Not only did it give me a reason to spend more time with my cousin, but also caused a significant improvement to my mental health! With our newfound confidence we branched out and signed up to some boxing classes, this was the beginning of my next step!

Fast forward 10 years and I have completely overcome my mental health issues- which is thanks to the combination of a healthy diet and exercise! Now I’m on a mission to help other people see that working out and looking after yourself is about so much more than just the physical changes that come with it.

I started Thrive Fitness & Personal Training, now Thrive with Ruby, so I could train people with programming that is safe, effective and works. I wanted to create a company that made me proud to put my name to. I cannot stress enough how happy it makes me to see people smiling, laughing, sweating and having fun in the gym. To be able to guide so many people on their journey and watch them become proud of themselves week by week is my biggest achievement yet. Helping people develop a healthy relationship with themselves is what Thrive is all about and it is my goal to help everyone who comes on board achieve this.
