Meet Daisy — once a seven-year-old dancing in The Nutcracker, later a Dance World Cup medallist, the teenager sprinting through London stations for musical theatre training, and now one of the most quietly powerful coaches at Hybrid Athlete Fitness.

In this episode, we trace Daisy’s story like choreography — early spark, high standards, sharp turns, setbacks, lessons, and a final, defiant pivot into a new future.

She shares openly about:

✨ Growing up in the world of dance and competition

✨ The pressure of body image and the loneliness behind the mirror

✨ Auditions, London life, and finding identity as a young performer

✨ The moment she discovered strength training at HYROX

✨ Transitioning into coaching and earning her PT qualification

✨ Using her discipline and stage presence to bring calm, care and confidence to the gym floor

Today, Daisy brings something special to HAF:

A coach who remembers your name, knows when to push, when to hold back, and believes that strength builds confidence that lasts longer than aesthetics ever will.

This conversation is raw, uplifting and real — a look at how purpose can grow from discomfort, how resilience shapes character, and how one young coach turned performance into passion for helping others change their lives.

🎧 Listen in and follow Daisy’s journey from the barre to the barbell.

It’s a story of identity, courage, and finding your place — on stage, in the gym, and in yourself.
