About Us - Tales of Annie Bean

Well hello there 👋

I’m Annie — the voice and creator behind Tales of Annie Bean.

Launched back in 2013, Tales of Annie Bean began as my personal blog and has grown and evolved in many ways over the years. While it’s always been led and managed by me, the blog has been shaped by life, movement, travel and the people around it along the way.

My husband Nick has played a part in the blog’s journey over the years, contributing to content and supporting its growth, but today the platform reflects my own voice, direction and day-to-day experiences.

The core of the blog centres around fitness, travel and lifestyle, with regular detours into wellbeing, training, and the realities of living an active life. I have a habit of signing up to challenges — triathlons, long swims, cycling adventures, running, yoga and anything that feels slightly uncomfortable but rewarding — and those experiences naturally make their way into the content here. I also occasionally dip my toe into fashion and beauty.

I’m a qualified spin instructor and continue to build on my training and coaching background, alongside sharing honest, real-world insight into fitness, balance and motivation — without the gloss.

You might also know me from YouTube, where I share longer-form content around training, travel and everyday life, with my most-watched video now reaching over 210,000 views.

Over the years, the blog has opened doors I never expected — from travelling the world to working with travel companies, tourist boards and global brands including Adidas, Huawei and Vogue. Tales of Annie Bean has been a finalist in the UK Blog Awards for three years running, and in 2017 I was proud to be named Fitness Blog of the Year with MyProtein, following recognition as a Top 50 Global Health & Fitness Influencer.

These days, I’m usually accompanied by my husband and my amazing support dog, Winnie, who is very much part of daily life and occasionally the content too.

I write all content myself and don’t accept pre-written material.
