Bryony is the Active Staff Writer at T3, covering content across fitness, outdoors and wearables. She recently completed her PT Level 3 qualification with the PFCA and also works part-time as a casual fitness instructor, mainly leading strength and conditioning classes. Ninety per cent of her life is spent on the gym floor, where her training focuses on a mixture of bodybuilding and powerlifting. The other 10% is split between the outdoors, socialising and eating (not in that particular order). She loves writing accessible workouts, as well as testing and trialing the latest fitness products - from pre-workout powders to lifting straps - that will help everyone reach their fitness goals.
Having always dabbled in 'the gym', it was during the Lockdowns that Bryony developed a newfound love for fitness, specifically strength training. As well as reaping the physical benefits of this style of training, it wasn't long before she discovered the huge mental benefits it possesses, too. Now, she's currently working towards getting her 110kg squat and 120kg deadlift. She also enjoys a new fitness challenge once in a while and completed her first HYROX back in 2023 with just four months of training and no prior running experience.
Previously, she worked as Health and Fitness Product Writer for What's The Best and Yours. Her bylines have also appeared in Good Housekeeping, Red magazine (where she interviewed Andy Murray's Strength and Conditioning Coach), and she's even done a little news reading on Heart Radio.
