Hi I’m Hazel, welcome to Hazel Hynes Fitness!

I run group exercise classes and personal training from the beautiful Longford Park snuggled on the Stretford/Chorlton border in South Manchester

I have lived in Chorlton for 11 years and love it here. I have three children and Longford Park has become a second home for us all.

After the birth of my first child seven years ago I rediscovered a lost love for exercise, having been a competitive gymnast in what now feels like a previous life!

I started with with mum and baby outdoor exercise classes at Chorlton Water Park and soon began running and outdoor swimming. After my second child was born I decided to leave my career in clinical research and last year finally retrained as a fitness instructor and personal trainer.

At the same time I completed specialist courses in kettlebells, circuits and spinning (although this doesn’t work quite so well in the park!). I entered the AOC Sport UK Fitness Trainer competition in the summer and won a silver medal. I have just completed my Level 3 award in coaching pre and post natal clients.

I want to use my new qualifications to share the benefits of exercising outdoors with everyone and encourage people to get out into their local parks and community spaces. I would love to see you for a fun workout in the park soon!
