Women’s History Month: Strong women in sport & fitness

KBPT is proud to be east London’s most established all female team of personal trainers. We train men and women and our goal is always to help our clients become physically and mentally stronger.

 

To mark Women’s History Month, we’d like to recognise the achievements and contributions of five amazing athletes. From the football field to the yoga mat, the athletics track to the tennis court, these women have not only shown incredible natural talent but also a commitment to train hard and a willingness to use their platform to inspire others.

 

 

Mary Earps

 

Goalkeepers are often the unsung heroes of football. But, as a Manchester United player and a member of the England women’s national football team, Mary Earps has already made a name for herself as a brilliant goalie and a positive role model. Remember screaming at the TV when she saved a penalty kick to keep the Lionesses in the World Cup Final last year? Since winning the World Cup Golden Glove, she has been named BBC Sports Personality of the Year, the best goalkeeper in the world at the Best FIFA Football awards and England captain.

Hannah Cockroft

 

Hannah Cockroft OBE, PLY, DL, made her international debut in 2011 and is now a seven-time Paralympic Champion. Known as ‘Hurricane Hannah’, she has shown enormous determination since trying wheelchair racing for the first time at a Loughborough University talent day. Off the track, Hannah is an ambassador for the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and a regular commentator on disability issues. She is currently training for the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games and is optimistic of a clean sweep in the 100m for Great Britain.

Adriene Mishler

 

If you’ve ever googled ‘online yoga’, you’ll have come across Adriene Mishler, an international yoga teacher, actress, writer and entrepreneur. She hosts the Yoga With Adriene online community, which has more than 12 million subscribers, and is also the co-founder of the Find What Feels Good app. Her approach has been described as “calm”, “playful” and “unpretentious” and she is keen to make yoga more accessible.

Jessica Ennis-Hill

 

‘The only one who can tell you “you can’t win” is you and you don’t have to listen.’ These words from Olympic champion and three-times world champion heptathlete Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill epitomise her philosophy on life and sport. A career highlight was Super Saturday at the London 2012 Olympics when she took Gold in the heptathlon in front of her home crowd. Since retiring from the track eight years ago, she has helped to empower other female athletes and also launched a hormonal health app that helps women to understand their bodies better.

Coco Gauff

 

2023 saw professional tennis player Coco Gauff achieve her first Grand Slam title when she won the US Open at the age of 19. Following in the footsteps of her idols, Serena and Venus Williams, she took up tennis at a young age and is said to have impressed her coaches with her athleticism and fighting spirit. After a straight set defeat in the semi-finals of the Australian Open earlier this year, she showed her ability to find the good in a negative situation, commenting that it was a tough match but a positive tournament overall.
