About Isabelle
Hello I am Isabelle Russell-Fibuch and I have been a mobile Personal Trainer, Lifestyle Practitioner and dancer/dance teacher for ten years. Welcome to my website!
I have always enjoyed being active and was fortunate enough to be sent to gymnastics and dance classes from a young age. I was enrolled in a local dance school called Sargent and Plester and was supported through all my dance and teacher training qualifications between 2014 and 2023 with additional training from Margaret Howard Theatre School where my teacher training started.
Dancing is one of the main reasons I look after my health because I love to make dynamic pieces of dance, full of explosive fast movement and it just wouldn’t be possible without keeping up some level of conditioning.
That being said, whilst I take my training seriously and ensure that I try to practise what I preach- I firmly believe we need to strike a balance with our health goals, and do encourage myself and clients to be mindful of trying to do too much.
I can’t say I am perfect at this because as a self aware busy-bee, often I do have many irons in the fire. (If you would like to know a bit more about this please do check out ‘Art&Soul Dance Theatre’ here). But I do my best to take my foot off the gas once in a while and do understand the power of being present!
I rather enjoy working towards a goal, and along with number of qualifications attained between 2014 and 2023 (see below), I have had a go at competing in a body-building competition in 2023 (PureElite), nearly completing and Ironman (2024) although an injury took me out (!), and have consistently danced throughout this time.
Please find a selection of the qualifications I have had the opportunity to complete in the last decade

-
(DDI and DDE) Modern Theatre
-
Level 4 Cancer Exercise certificate (CanRehab)

They have been invaluable in making sure I have the capacity and expertise to offer a spectrum of people help and advice with their movement and health; and hope I can do the same for you!
