REBECCA SWALES
Qualifications
- BSc Sports Performance, University of Bath
- Level 4 Sports Massage Therapist
Bio
Before becoming a sports therapist I spent the majority of my time in a swimming pool as an elite swimmer. I competed in many major competitions around the UK and internationally, whilst training over 26 hours per week in the pool and in the gym. Naturally, being a high performing athlete, I’m absolutely no stranger to sports-related injury and fatigue, and so I became extremely well acquainted with the physiotherapy and massage room.
I subsequently suffered from a significant injury which ended my swimming career, but in turn, fired the enthusiasm and passion to healing and treating people who may be experiencing pain due to injury or the stress of our society.

JENNY MYATT
Jenny Myatt uses her seven years of CrossFitting experience to help kids and teenagers take charge of their health at an early age. But her coaching is about more than physical health. She loves watching her members’ self-esteem and self-worth climb as their physical abilities progress.
Jenny became a CrossFit coach after her career as a health professional working with families and children under age 5. She realized that coaching CrossFit Kids would combine her two passions: working with children and CrossFit. “Also, I have a child who was considered ‘non-sporty,’ and it frustrated me that he was pigeon holed at such a young age,” she says. “Now he has been doing CrossFit for some years. He has found a sport he can be good at which has benefited him in every area of his life!”
Jenny is currently pursuing her masters in Nutrition, Physical Activity and Nutrition at the University of Bristol.
