About
Hi, I am Carol, creator of Tournesol Fitness (Tournesol is French for sunflower and means “turn to the sun”)

Welcome!
I bring a unique perspective to fitness, having qualified as a fitness trainer during the first Covid lockdown in 2020 at the age of 58. Before following my passion for health and exercise, I worked as an agronomist for a leading German company. Now, I’m the proud mother of two grown-up sons and grandmother to four wonderful grandchildren.
