16# Charlotte Ord - The Biggest Winner

Charlotte Ord is the UK Personal Trainer of the Year 2010 and 2014, trainer on ITV1’s hit show, The Biggest Loser, head strength and conditioning coach to the England Lacrosse Squad, owner of Surrey based fitness club, The Charlotte Ord Academy, and contributor to many of the UK’s leading fitness magazines including Men’s Health, Women’s Health and Women’s Fitness. In her own words... Having left school and earned an honours degree in Psychology & Sociology, I quickly realised that a career in fitness was perfect for me.  I love teaching, I love working out, and I get a total buzz out of helping other people achieve their dreams, so I got myself certified as a personal trainer and was fortunate to land a managerial role at a large corporate gym as my first job in the industry.  Whilst this was a slight baptism of fire, it pushed me in every way, which I think is essential if you really want to fulfil your potential. Fast forward a few years and today I am the owner of two awesome fitness clubs, the Charlotte Ord Academies in Guildford and Godalming.  There I work closely with my top class team to provide a fitness coaching solution that really delivers results.  I’m incredibly proud of it because these are places where lots of people achieve things they weren’t really sure they could, as well as having a bloody good time doing it, and that’s our mission! In 2011 I became head coach to the England Women’s Lacrosse Team and was selected as a trainer on the hit ITV1 show, The Biggest Loser.  I’m also a mentor for other fitness professionals and am dedicated to raising the standard of the fitness industry both in the UK and beyond.  I am also absolutely passionate about promoting health at every size and encouraging people to love their bodies at their fit and healthy natural weight. I work extensively with people struggling with disordered and emotional eating patterns and find great fulfilment in helping people re-establish a healthy relationship with food. Ultimately, what I do and what I freakin’ LOVE to do is help people win, whether it be in sport, business or the game of life.
