Bryony Firth-Bernard
Bryony is the Active Staff Writer at T3, covering content across fitness, outdoors and wearables. Ninety per cent of her life is spent on the gym floor, where her training focuses on a mixture of bodybuilding and powerlifting, while the other 10% is split between the outdoors, socialising and eating (not in that particular order). She loves writing accessible workouts, as well as testing and trialling the latest fitness products - from pre-workout powders to lifting straps - that will help everyone reach their fitness goals.
Having always dabbled in 'the gym', it was during the Lockdowns that Bryony developed a newfound love for fitness, specifically weightlifting. As well as reaping the physical benefits of this style of training, it wasn't long before she discovered the huge mental benefits it possesses too. Now, she's currently working towards getting her 110kg squat and 105kg deadlift.
Previously, she worked as Health and Fitness Product Writer for What's The Best and Yours. Her bylines have also appeared in Good Housekeeping, Red magazine (where she interviewed Andy Murray's Strength and Conditioning Coach), and she's even done a little news reading on Heart Radio.
