Kirsty Caruana was a national team gymnast for over 12 years, competing at an international level for Malta in competitions such as G.S.S.E, European Championships and Commonwealth Games. She was the first female gymnast to win a bronze medal in the 2009 edition of G.S.S.E in Cyprus as well as placing 8th in the vault final of the Junior Commonwealth Games in the Isle of Man in 2011.

Apart from an athlete’s perspective, she has also experienced working as a gymnastics coach with GymStars Gymnastics Club for 3 years. Kirsty works full-time as an auditor with PwC Malta. However, her true passion emerges through also working as a personal trainer and performance coach, with a main focus for the past 3 years being on the development of strength and conditioning for competitive swimmers. By using experience from her elite competitive gymnastics background, she works towards improving and maximising athletes’ physical strength and enhancing sports performance, as well as creating a training environment that not only motivates, but also empowers them to continually challenge themselves to achieve their personal goals. She is currently finalizing her Master’s of Science in Performance Coaching with Setanta College, Ireland to continually progress and enhance her knowledge to better support and guide athletes, both physically and psychologically, to excel in their chosen sport.’
