new Derby Kit Sponsor 2025/6
This season Derby Diamonds have a new kit sponsor in the shape of Navigate Fitness.
Did you know that our head coach is also a Personal Trainer and Fitness Coach. After leaving her job in the world of Sports Marketing and Graphic Design, Laura retrained to a profession that was very close to her heart.
Laura says “I have always struggled with my weight and had an unhealthy relationship with food, especially after having children. I tried every fad diet and although they gave me success in small bursts, nothing really changed things long term. I finally realised I was being far too hard on myself and decided to take a step back. It had all been for nothing anyway, I was bigger than I had ever been and my confidence was at an all time low. It was during this downtime that I started doing daily hobbies and activities I enjoyed, found regular exercise I actually looked forward to and got some proper nutritional advice from a lovely dietician who repaired my bad relationship with food. I slowly started to lose weight with very little effort. I realised that all these ‘fad’ diets and exercise plans were just out to make money and by making small lifestyle changes and establishing a realistic level of exercise made a huge difference with a lot less punishment to my self-esteem. I decided to educate myself further so I could help others find their right path.”
Laura set up Navigate Fitness to help other women navigate their fitness journey. To help them make small changes to their lifestyle, that fit in around work, children, housework and the other stresses we face every day, which they can sustain over time. Navigate helps women understand that by being kinder to ourselves and small changes over time make a huge difference to how we look and feel.
Navigate Fitness offers face-to-face personal training sessions at Laura’s studio in Burton, or in the comfort of your own home. Navigate also offers advice on nutrition and has a purpose made app containing personalised workouts, a tailor made nutrition plan and weekly check ins to help keep you on track.
Laura says “Just having the correct knowledge really helps to make a difference, as does having someone to point you in the right direction. I am now more comfortable in my skin and that makes navigating everyday challenges so much easier. I am here to be your knowledge and to guide you on your journey to a healthier, happier you.”
