MADONNA has one, more recently Vanessa Feltz had a well-publicised one and now Burnley captain Steve Davis has got one!

What is it? A personal fitness trainer.

Davis's relationship, however, is a bit different -- as his Ms Motivator is girlfriend Kerrie Jenkins.

And her inside knowledge of correct eating habits and a generally healthy lifestyle have rubbed off on the Clarets defender.

"He is actually a very good cook. He's a dab hand in the kitchen, especially his chicken and bacon with pasta! That's his speciality," said the 22-year-old.

"He was health conscious before I met him but I think he's now become more so. We start building up to Saturday's match as early as Wednesday, everything is prepared, and he eats pasta on Friday.

"I know all about carbohydrate intake and fat levels. When I start telling him what to eat and what to do, he does roll his eyes but I think he appreciates it."

Kerrie also went training with Steve before pre-season in the summer.

"I have to set off before him because he runs at a faster pace but me, Spenser the dog, and Steve usually then do hill work together.

"It's a good job we have a common interest although when I'm watching the latest aerobic tapes, he usually goes and chats to his friends on the phone. He's not interested in taking part in that!"

Kerrie could be a known face to many aerobic goers after working for Leisure in Burnley at Gannow Baths, Padiham Sports Centre and other venues in the area.

But the former Habergham High School pupil has now decided to set up on her own and show that personal fitness training is open to anybody and is not just an accessory of the rich and famous.

"It all came to a fore with Vanessa Feltz really," said Kerrie, who is also studying to be a Primary School teacher in Ambleside. "It started me thinking. I realised people were just attending aerobics classes and I wasn't getting to know them, or how they felt and if they were getting what they wanted from the classes. "So I decided to go it alone and built up my client base by word of mouth.

"Everyone just seemed to think personal training was something for the rich or for people down south, where it is a big thing.

"But it's not. I felt I wasn't being used to the best of my ability. I had something to offer, as I have all the qualifications and a degree, and I wanted to help."

A former Burnley and Lancashire hockey player, Kerrie went into aerobics aged 14 and sat her exams at 18.

Then armed with an NBBA Gym Instructors qualification and a RSA Exercise to Music, she earned more qualifications with a BA Honours in Sports Science and Business Management Degree from Manchester University.

"Aerobics used to be all leg warmers and leotards but it is more balanced and more controlled now. It has developed a lot since it first started.

"I keep up to date with all the new phases by attending weekend workshops and getting all the videos to learn the new moves. It changes so quickly!"

So what does "personal fitness" involve?

"The first stage is a consultation. I go to see anybody, however old or young, and then make an assessment.

"This is based on everything. I take the body fat measurements, and talk about the areas of concern which in women are usually the thighs, bum and stomach!

"Then I ask about the current exercise they do, their eating habits, their lifestyle, if they have children, and if they have any medical concerns.

"It is very thorough and everyone is different."

Kerrie then goes away to assess it and devises a suitable programme. "It is very personal. Sometimes, if people join a gym, they may be given a programme and just left to do it without much change.

"I look at what the person wants to achieve, their goals and I help them as much as they want me to.

"This might be once a week or three times a week, it depends on the person. Many people say they won't exercise without me so I do an aerobics session with them and there's no embarrassment.

"Sometimes we do have to find space in the house though but we usually manage!"

As well as aerobics, Kerrie is also a keen horserider and owns a horse, Armani, and, of course, she's a regular at Turf Moor.

"I always go and support Steve," she added.
