Wairimu Githahu

I’m a Strength & Conditioning Coach, Level 3 Fitness Instructor and Somatic Yoga Therapist with many years of experience helping people develop a stronger, healthier and more confident relationship with their bodies.
My approach to fitness is practical, personalised and supportive. I work with people at different levels, from those who are new to exercise or returning after a break, to those who want to improve their strength, fitness, mobility and physical performance.
Sessions are tailored to your goals, ability and experience and can include strength training, conditioning, functional movement, mobility and bodyweight exercises. I focus on helping you understand how your body moves rather than simply telling you what to do. We build gradually, with good technique and realistic progression at the centre of the work.
My background in somatic yoga and mental wellbeing also influences how I coach. I pay attention to body awareness, breathing, stress and how people actually feel during exercise. For me, fitness isn't about punishment or pushing yourself until you hate me! It is about becoming stronger and fitter while building confidence and developing habits that you can sustain.
I currently work as a Strength & Conditioning Coach with a rugby club, designing and delivering training to improve strength, conditioning, mobility and athletic performance.
Whether your goal is to get stronger, improve your fitness, move better, build confidence or simply feel more comfortable in your body, I’ll meet you where you are and help you work towards where you want to be.
Sessions can be delivered online.
