Gayle is a self-proclaimed fitness junkie.  She is an avid runner, soccer player, and gym goer, and she admits it’s an addiction as well as a lifestyle.  In her younger days, she did karate and kickboxing, and when she heard about TITLE, she joined right away.  Gayle is a Doctor of management, and uses her skills in and outside of TITLE Boxing Club Manchester. Gayle’s personal mantra is borrowed from Nike; Just do it.  She believes that if you can set your mind to do something, you’re 80% of the way there. Gayle’s training style is transformative.  She likes to make you think while you’re working out, and she enjoys working muscles you may have forgotten you have. Gayle became a trainer shortly after joining TITLE.  Gayle’s former training allowed her to quickly step into a TITLE trainer role. Gayle’s fighting spirit is quiet but effective.  She may be one of the more “quiet” trainers, but you’ll walk out of the club feeling different than when you walked in.
