Press & Features
keep it simpElle was founded in July 2012 as a way to share information about health, fitness, nutrition, fitness fashion and more with my friends and clients.
Since then, it has also become a way to engage with people who share the same passions as myself all around the world! Since I organically became a specialist in women’s training, the readership is predominantly female; however, there is nothing on this blog that excludes male participation!
Mission
“Create a community which inspires and motivates people to live an active, healthy lifestyle whilst fostering empowerment through conversations which add value and allow for informed choices”
