Hi, I'm Pati.
I'm the face behind HS Fitness. My belief is that fitness does not have to be punishing, intimidating or all about changing how you look.
Strength, confidence and long-term health built around you.
I know what it feels like to believe you're just not “fit enough” to start.
Like a lot of millennials, I grew up surrounded by toxic Y2K body standards and the idea that working out was only about achieving the “perfect” body - the smaller, the better. For years, I avoided exercise altogether. I told myself I “wasn't fit enough” to go to a gym and could never sustain a programme because I hated every workout I tried (none gave me the promised quick results!)
Many years later, I tried strength training, and my entire view shifted.
I fell in love with getting strong, especially as I started noticing what my body was capable of. As a short woman, I quickly realised there's nothing better than catching people off guard with how strong I am. It never gets old!
Life happens, though. During lockdown, I completely stopped training, hit my highest weight, and had to rebuild my habits from scratch.
Then in 2025, a nasty slip down some steps left me with severe bruising and lingering back complications that I'm still navigating. That recovery, combined with discovering my own hypermobility, completely changed how I view the role mobility, flexibility and strength training play in long-term health.
Today, I use everything I've learned to build a body that feels good for life.
Training should meet you where you are and not make you feel like you have something to prove.
No shame when life gets in the way
We work with real life rather than making you feel guilty for it.
A plan built around you
We start from where you are now and build towards where you want to be, at a pace that makes sense for you.
Progress you can actually maintain
The aim is not a quick fix. It is a routine that supports your confidence and long-term health.
