ABOUT ME

My name is Sian, I am a mum of 2, Marley 5 and Dax 2 ½. I  founded a fitness company called Aquafit 3 ½ years ago we now have 5 locations around Dubai. I love all the people I meet through work and love receiving emails from people telling me how it has changed their lives here.

Fitness and travel have always been my passion. I love outdoor adventure and adrenaline activities like skiing and diving.


WHERE IS HOME?

I’m from Hertfordshire but have been in Dubai 12 years so this is home now 😊

WHAT DID YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU WERE YOUNGER? 

I remember wanting to be a firefighter, then Ballerina or Flight attendant – my dance teacher left to work for BA and I thought it would be such a fun and glamorous way to see the world.

WHAT DO YOU DO?

I am the sole founder of Aquafit Dubai, so handle all things business-related (business development, marketing and accounts ect). I reserve some time to personal train my VIP clients.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE ACTIVITY TO DO WITH YOUR CHILDREN?

I am lucky to be able to travel lots with the kids and create special memories. The kids love swimming and I love seeing how confident they are in the water.

We have kids’ day every weekend where we try a different activity around the UAE. We meet up with my sister and her Fiancé for Sunday dinner.

It used to be Grease but then Rocky 1-5! I competed at a high level of athletics growing up and used Rocky films for motivation before a race! I could quote them word for word!

Sandwiches! I do live off them and they are still my favourite meal!
