About Julie “GI July” Ryan
After 20 years working in the NHS within Science and Quality Management, with a Degree & Masters degree in Biomedical Science, Diploma in Management, Diploma in Executive Coaching and gaining Chartered Scientist and Chartered Quality Professional status, my lifestyle and working life changed when my little girl was due to start school in 2016.
I also have 15 years plus as an archery coach and archery competitor, touring the Country to compete and so I decided at 42yrs old to pursue a sporting/fitness career further.
I retrained as a L2 Fitness Instructor, L3 Personal Trainer and L3 Sports Massage Therapist, and have continuous professional development through courses and training such as Aerower Jumple, Kangoo, Pole Dance Instruction, Rockfit, Fitsteps, Aerial Hammock, aerial hoop, Groove n Glow and Bellyfit instruction. I did this after getting myself fit through my own personal training programme and attending other fitness classes, losing over 3 stone in 6 months.
So what can I offer you? Tank Girl Training offers PT, group PT, Bootcamp and Circuits, Box n Core Fit, Flexibility & toning, Pole PT, Bellyfit, Groove n Glow, aerial arts, Archery and Executive Coaching and Archery Instructor Tutoring and assessments. I use lots of varied equipment, tools and techniques to support support you along your health journey at your pace but with fun being the main focus.
I love life, family, friends, fitness, learning, teaching and archery and enjoy meeting and supporting others on their health and wellbeing journeys.

Meet Sgt Sarah
⭐️About Sergeant Sarah⭐️
“Hi am Sarah am I am pretty much a human labrador! Full of excitement energy and enthusiasm!
I was the girl at school with every excuse to miss PE so safe to say fitness hasn’t always been a part of my life however after losing weight a few years ago I finally decided to take the scary step to do fitness classes and I’ve never looked back! It wasn’t the scary environmental I thought it would be but a fun friendly place where we laughed just as much as we sweated and I loved it.
I’m so happy to be joining the team and can’t wait to get stuck in.”
And we are all super excited to have you on board! Sgt Sarah has her L2 Fitness Instructor and Exercise to Music Qualification after years of experience in the class environment, Rockfit training, Spin City Beginners Aerial Hoop & Spin City Beginners Pole certification and instructs Jump PartyPT, Aerobics, Abs Smasher and Box n Core Fit sessions to start as well as bringing super secret new style classes soon (more info to follow very soon). She is fully fitness insured, Emergency 1st Aid trained and with her love of bright leggings and banging tracks, she is ready to put you through your paces!
