​

Welcome to Bitesize Bootcamp!

I’m Ruth McShane, founder and CEO (or as I like to call it—Chief Exercise Officer) of Bitesize Bootcamp. For over nine years, I’ve been on a mission to make fitness fun, accessible, and impactful for children and schools across the UK.

With a SCITT-PGCE in Physical Education and extensive teaching experience at schools like Carmel College, Highfield Priory School, and Newcastle High School for Girls, I’ve delivered exciting PE lessons, led GCSE and A-Level PE programs, and created innovative extracurricular activities. My background extends beyond teaching, with experience in sales, marketing, and event management, helping me grow Bitesize Bootcamp into a leading school PE and fitness program provider.

​

But my passion isn’t just professional—it’s personal. I’ve played football in the USA for two years, competed at county level in football and hockey, and played in Women’s Super League 2. I’ve also gained multiple sports coaching and fitness qualifications over the years, further fuelling my mission to inspire and educate through sport. My love for fitness has led me to be a dedicated Crossfitter for over 5 years; this has undoubtedly inspired me to change and advance the way PE should be taught in schools.

 

Participation in sports and developing fitness levels go hand in hand; its power to build confidence, resilience, and teamwork led me to create Bitesize Bootcamp—a program designed to help children develop strength, confidence, and a lifelong love for movement. 

​

I can’t wait to bring our energy, expertise, and passion to your school!
