The 24-year-old BMX star has thanked Justin Mills for kickstarting her gym journey and setting her on track to competing at the highest level.
Beth, who grew up in Essex, started working with the University of Essex Strength and Conditioning Coach just before winning the Junior World Championships in 2017 and continued training with Justin privately until 2019 when she was offered to move to Manchester and work full time with the British Cycling BMX programme.
She went on to win gold at Tokyo 2020 after crowd-funding her trip to Japan, secured 1st in the European championship and this year claimed the top spot in the UCI BMX World Championships.
'He's a legend'
Now Justin is sharing his knowledge with our performance athletes and helping our students reach their potential while training, working and studying here.
Reflecting on her time working with Justin she said: “Justin started my journey in the gym, taught me about form, why we do certain exercises and had fun doing it.
“I learnt a lot from Justin in the early stages of my career and I’ll be forever grateful for that, as it prepared me for the demands of becoming a full-time athlete.
“I always had trust in what Justin programmed for me, and that is what is most important when working with a coach. He’s a legend.”
