Personal Trainer, Pre and Postnatal Specialist and fitandhappy Boot Camp Coach
FIND OUT MORE ABOUT JEMMA
Jemma has a passion for the outdoors and brunch. She is keen to show you how little habits can make big changes to last you a lifetime. The outdoors provides so much more than a place to exercise, it changes your mind, your mood, and your attitude.
Jemma discovered the importance of fitness back in 2012 when she worked in the Alps, went skiing most days but found recovery incredibly difficult due to an overindulgent lifestyle! She enjoys all kinds of movement and is on a mission to bag all 282 of the Munros in Scotland.
When not coaching for fitandhappy you can find her running, cycling, or on a Pilates reformer.
She is ready to support you and drive you forward so you can achieve your goals and she doesn't want you to wait until Monday. Today is your day.

Kay McAllister
Personal Trainer and fitandhappy Boot Camp Coach
Kay coaches some of our boot camps in Inverleith Park.
FIND OUT MORE ABOUT KAY
Kay is passionate about movement and exercise that makes you feel alive and connected to yourself. From an early age, Kay was involved with dance, hockey and running, showing her that exercise can take many forms and the positive impact it can have on your wellbeing and mental health.
Becoming qualified as a Level 2 & 3 Personal Trainer in 2019 was a natural next step as Kay wanted to help others find ways of exercising that best suits them. Kay has always been an advocate for women taking on exercise, helping boost their confidence and empowering them with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed. In her opinion, fitness is for all and doesn’t have one look (except maybe sweaty!).
Kay is also a professionally trained actor and is an acting tutor for young people. When not teaching or at fitandhappy bootcamps she enjoys exploring the outdoors, practicing yoga and meditation, and having a good old laugh and a giggle.
Krista Bridges
fitandhappy Boot Camp Coach
You'll find Krista coaching boot camp sessions at Inverleith Park and the Meadows.
FIND OUT MORE ABOUT KRISTA
Krista is originally from Connecticut, USA. She is a Premier Global-NASM personal trainer, group fitness instructor, nutrition coach and pre and postnatal specialist. You can find Krista at fitandhappy's Inverleith Park and Meadows Boot Camp sessions.
Krista left her previous career in marketing to move to London for her Personal Training diploma in 2016. Leaving agency-land allowed her to start fresh and focus on business pipe-dreams in pursuit of new adventures, passion projects, help others discover their true potential and have fun!
Outside of class, Krista plays competitive dodgeball for the Edinburgh Fireworks and the international team, the Scotland Highlanders. She is easily distracted by puppies (especially german shepherds, huskies, labs... anything big enough to rugby tackle). Breakfast is her favorite meal of the day - but Brunch comes in at a very close second.
