The Bee-Fit Team
Tina Le Merle – Owner
Tina has always loved children and with a passion for health & fitness, she is our fully qualified Aerobic Instructor.
After having her own children, Tina decided she wanted to be able to look after them full time but also have a career that would benefit the whole family. Whilst searching for groups to take her children to, Tina realised there was a huge gap in children’s fitness so she qualified as a children’s fitness coach and has never looked back.
Bee-fit and Tina have been together for 14 years.
Tina says “I love coaching the classes and get a great sense of satisfaction and achievement seeing the children having so much fun and improving their skills.”
Tina has:
- DBS Certificate
- Paediatric First Aid Certificate
