For the British film Fast Girls, the actress had to undergo rigorous training. She trained under Olympics Athlete Jeanette Kwakye and Olympic runner Shani Anderson. Running, circuit training, weight training, working out on the tracks, and going to the gym at least five times a week were essential for her athletic look in the movie.

She also adhered to a high-protein diet that included fish, chicken, and protein shakes. However, she quit this rigorous training after the movie shoot was over.
