Growing up down under Belinda’s early life was originally about the catwalk not the cardio. Her modelling career did spike an interest in health and fitness though and with friends fighting over her for training sessions Belinda spotted a business opportunity.

Belinda’s personal training career saw her working in both her native Australia and the US before she settled in London fifteen years ago. Having trained celebrities, bodybuilders and models along the way Belinda can now be found training the rich and famous in leafy Hampstead Heath at her gym, XTrim fitness.

Not satisfied with one business venture, in 2014 Belinda founded Edge Cycle. With a passion for cycling (her and her teenage daughter compete together) and a slight aversion to the British winter weather Belinda decided it was time to create a new type of spinning studio. Edge Cycle classes offer a unique blend of cardio and weight training fusing spinning on a bike with weight and floor exercises completed on the bike. Belinda is quite the taskmaster (no one gets away with slacking in one of her classes) but you’re sure to leave knowing you have worked to your full potential and if you make it back you will definitely see results.
