Phil and Debra were internet dating pioneers back in 2006! They married in 2013 and moved to the seaside in 2016 to run a café—until Covid closed it, inspiring Debs to train as a fitness coach.
Phil is a trained breathwork coach, does the gardening, great at DIY and is a tech geek!!
Debs has always loved exercise but struggled to find exercise classes that weren’t exhausting or intimidating. This is why she developed Combocise, short exercise sessions that can be combined to make a full body workout.
Deb’s is a fitness coach and runs several live classes in Thanet, so if you’re anywhere near Margate get in touch.
Debs is the Dreamer, Phil is the Doer!
The Combo Coach and the Combo Method were born from a simple realisation: most people struggle to balance their health and wellbeing because solutions often focus on just one piece of the puzzle. Diets promise results but ignore strength and movement. Exercise programs push fitness but overlook mental wellbeing or lifestyle habits. The Combo Method changes that.
We take a truly wholistic approach, combining live classes, an exercise portal, and personalised coaching that covers everything from nutrition to stress management. It’s about more than just working out; it’s about building sustainable habits that support your body, mind, and life.
What makes us different is our flexibility and focus on the individual. Whether you thrive in one-to-one coaching, group sessions, or exercising and learning at your own pace through our online resources, the Combo Method adapts to you—not the other way around. Each component works together, so strength, cardio, flexibility, and mind-body practices all complement each other.
We believe health and wellbeing shouldn’t be complicated or intimidating. By combining proven strategies into the Combo Method, you will be empowered to move, nourish, and care for yourself in a way that’s realistic, effective, and, most importantly, enjoyable.
I’m not a natural exerciser but ever since meeting Debra my Monday evenings have never been so good. What started as Easycise gently morphed into Boxicise & despite my inability to mirror image the moves, I love her class! So many friendly faces & Debra's exuberant personality makes it the best form of exercise for me. I would thoroughly recommend anyone to join in.
I’ve been going to Deb’s classes for almost 2 months now and thoroughly enjoy it. Debs is very knowledgeable when it comes to bodies and approaches us all with humour and respect, you’ll never find judgement at her classes, we laugh a lot and always get a range of exercises to suit our age and abilities, sprinkled with a challenge, I feel better all round after a session with this lovely woman!! she is an inspiration and puts her ‘all’ into everything she does.
I’ve known Debs for over these six years, she is an exceptional fitness and healthy ageing coach. During this time, she has empowered countless women to understand and benefit from the profound impact of exercise on our health and has inspired many to start moving their bodies again - including me.
Her group classes could easily be called "Laugh-A-Cise" because we have so much fun while working out. If you’re looking for support to start moving your body, no matter what your size, Debra is your girl.
Debra is so friendly, down to earth, and straight talking! She pays time and attention to what motivates others to achieve what they want and need. Debra makes exercise fun and easy giving her class individual bespoke instruction according to ability. Her enthusiasm and dedication makes her an ideal health and fitness coach. After attending her classes I would not go anywhere else. In short she is fantastic I am so happy I found her!
I'm not a fan of exercise, well I wanted until I joined Debra’s class. She makes it fun with laughter and gets bits of your body moving that you don’t use in every day life. You’ll laugh away the hour, it seems to go so fast.
The class has helped with my upper body mobility, which had become quite bad due to my disability. Debs tailors the exercises to be inclusive for everyone, no matter their ability.
The Combo Coach combines movement, mindset and motivation so you can feel more confident, happy and healthy.
