Welcome to First Floor Fitness! I’m Hayley Carse, and I founded this community in May 2022 after dedicating over a decade to the fitness industry.

​

My journey officially began in 2013. After qualifying as a Level 2 Fitness Instructor in 2014, I pursued my Level 3 Personal Trainer qualification. I believe in comprehensive expertise, which is why I hold specialised certifications in everything from Spin, Kettlebells, and TRX to Boxfit, beginner Pole Fitness, and crucially, pre, ante, and postnatal exercise. My goal is to use this broad knowledge to guide every client safely and effectively.

​

What truly drives me is the community we’ve built. First Floor Fitness was created as a supportive hub, and it quickly progressed from small group classes and 1-2-1 sessions into something much larger! The greatest enjoyment I get is watching members connect, encourage one another, and seeing that incredible sense of achievement when clients step out of their comfort zone to reach a new goal.

​

Ultimately, I’m most proud that this is more than just a gym. It is a safe space where everyone can speak freely, be themselves with confidence, and thrive within an atmosphere of genuine support. We regularly host fitness challenges and social events, building strength and friendships together, in every sense of the word.
