Fitness that works with your brain, not against it.

Hi, I’m Rhiannon!

I founded Not So Typical Fitness to be about more than just sessions in a gym. I know what it is like to be different; I’m autistic, have ADHD.

Not So Typical Fitness offers support that fits your brain, your body, and your life.

Whether you're just starting out or trying again after burnout, I offer flexible coaching that is sensory-aware and made for neurodivergent people.

No pressure.
No diet culture.
Just compassionate support and real, lasting progress.

The Not So Typical Approach:

  • Sensory-Aware Training

    Environments, movements, and equipment selected to prevent overwhelm and maximise comfort.

  • Executive Function Support

    Flexible scheduling, reminders, and accountability systems that work with ADHD and autistic brains.

  • Routine Building

    Gradual, sustainable habit formation that avoids the burnout cycle

  • Embracing Your Strengths

    Focus on what your unique neurotype brings to fitness rather than trying to force neurotypical approaches.

  • Support Between Sessions

    You’ll have access to ongoing support between sessions, so you’re never left figuring things out alone.

  • Bespoke Programmes

    Your plan is tailored to you, no generic templates, just personalised guidance that fits your life and goals.

  • Specialist Coaching

    Most fitness plans ignore how our brains work. Mine are built for neurodivergent minds, sensory needs, and executive function.

    Explore Coaching Options

  • Community

    This is your space to learn, connect and grow, on your terms. It’s free. It’s supportive. It’s made for you if you want to improve your health.

  • I’ve never felt this safe in a gym before. Rhiannon just gets how my brain works and is the first personal trainer to listen to my worries when it comes to my health conditions. Other PTs pushed me too far and dismissed my physical health conditions leading to injury - I don't worry about this with Rhiannon and my strength and confidence is building every session!

Respect in the Gym Starts With One Simple Habit
Respect in the Gym Starts With One Simple Habit

While working a late shift at the gym, I asked someone to re-rack their barbell. Instead of putting it back, she threw the clips and plates onto the floor. It was frustrating, but it highlighted something bigger: re-racking isn’t just about neatness, it’s about respect, safety, and making gyms more welcoming for everyone.
