Meet Shauna & Gareth

Hi! We’re Shauna and Gareth – two personal trainers, life adventurers, and proud servants to two tiny chihuahuas, Leo & Hunter, who run the show.

We met in 2010 doing a personal training course (you know, bonding over sweat and awkward stretches), got hitched in 2016, and launched our own business, HealthFit – our passion project where we help people get stronger, healthier, and maybe slightly addicted to squats.

Shauna had 2 sons pretty early in life and realised that sitting around and being stressed wasn't how she wanted to live, nor her 2 boys, so fitness, health, life and vitality it was.

Gareth swooped in years later with shared values, a laid back approach to life (spending a bit of time in Australia will do that to a person), and a suspicious enthusiasm for broccoli.

2016 it was wedding bells on the menu with a side of setting up our own personal training business, what a year!!!

Fast forward to 2020 – in true lockdown madness, we sold our VW camper, bought a Renault Master, and built a new home-on-wheels with a bit of help from handy friends and Shauna’s dad (it was an experience not to be repeated).

By late 2024, with our boys all grown up and chasing their own dreams and adventures, we crossed to Spain, pups in tow, campervan our new home & chasing sunshine like two solar-powered hobbits.

Since then, we’ve hot-springed, skied in Sierra Nevada, beach-hopped, mountain-hiked, and only occasionally got lost.

Now we’re based in Alcaucín for a minute (mountains behind us, beach in front, chihuahuas on our laps), working online, meeting beautiful Spanish, English, German, Polish, Irish and Australian expats (many more to meet yet also), living the dream, and refusing to grow up. We’re still campervan-hopping, wine-sipping, hill-climbing wellness weirdos – and we love it.

With more adventure on the horizon we are excited to check out a more laid back way of life, more sun on our skin and all the while trying our best not to butcher a most beautiful language... But, Poco Poco, we will get there, and in the meantime we plan to continue venturing about, meeting new people, experiencing new feels and simply living life to the full.

And yes, where there are ups, there are downs, but thus far, the ups outweigh the struggles and therefore our Spanish adventure continues ❤️🇪🇸😊👌🏼
