Katie Barker

Wellbeing Personal Trainer

My qualifications

  • REPS

What my Clients say:

"Katie has been my personal trainer for nearly two years now and I can honestly say I'm still loving it as much as I did at the start. I've never enjoyed the gym before meeting Katie as I found it very repetitive but with Katie we are always doing different workouts still so I'm never bored and I never know what we are doing each session. Katie is very good at pushing you to achieve your goals and never letting you quit when you feel that you can't give any more!"

Sam Bundyford

Wellbeing Personal Trainer

How can I help you improve your health?

I've always been passionate about fitness and helping others. I like to take an all-encompassing approach with wellbeing, so I want to help you not only achieve your goals in the gym but also to help you to better yourself through lifestyle and nutritional coaching and educating you on how to be the best you, both physically and mentally.

Results are the best motivator, so whatever your goals are, whether it's losing weight, developing muscle, or improving your general fitness, let's achieve your goals together.

My qualifications

  • CIMSPA

What my Clients say:

"Sam eased me back into training again after taking a few years off going to the gym completely, after going through pregnancy and a long-term illness. He really helped to improve my confidence and gave me a gentle introduction to weight training again, whilst still pushing me to reach my full potential. He was very knowledgeable in the exercises I needed to do and the food I needed to eat to reach my personal goals. I would definitely recommend Sam to anyone that needs a bit of help to get back into fitness again." 

Gemma Bunyard

Fitness and Wellbeing Manager

How can I help you improve your health?

My background lies in Psychology and throughout my health and wellness journey, I applied my knowledge and gained a further understanding of behavioural changes.

My interests vary greatly and I enjoy anything that challenges the body and mind. I am a Boxercise and Kettlebell Instructor, enjoy hiking and distance running and practice Yoga and Meditation. Health and wellness for me encompass more than just the physical and is an entirely unique process. I work closely with each client, supporting them to develop sustainable habits and achieve the lifestyle that is right for them.

Balance and consistency are key in achieving health and wellness and I am passionate about teaching others through my own education and experiences.

My qualifications

  • CIMSPA
  • Boxercise Instructor
  • Kettlebell Instructor
  • ViPR Instructor
  • Boxercise for Kids Instructor
  • Advanced Programme Design & Movement Screening

What my Clients say:

"I was the child who would never join in, the teenager who never attended P.E and the adult who missed out on so much, so I decided to make a change. Choosing Gemma was easy owing to her client testimonials and her extensive knowledge of fitness, nutrition, anatomy and psychology. The combination of her qualifications and her fantastic personable approach made all the difference to me. Gemma completed a personal plan for me, considered my long and short-term goals and broke them down into manageable steps. We made an action plan and through discussion and observation, she helped me to identify my barriers and find solutions. Our sessions are the highlight of my week and I have achieved multiple things I never believed were possible. I am finally excited about my future and looking forward to learning what else I am capable of. I now have the confidence and self-belief that I was missing for most of my life and believe this is down to Gemma's knowledge, patience, experience and compassion. She has been my biggest cheerleader and I know seeing me succeed makes her happy."

Thomas Hill

Wellbeing Personal Traine

How can I help you improve your health?

Tom’s passion for fitness began in the pool, where he turned his Saturday morning hobby into a competitive swimming career competing across the country. He has over 10 years experience from his own training and coaching in the sport. His true passion now lies in using his knowledge to improve his clients overall quality of life through functional training methods.

My qualifications

  • Level 3 Personal Trainer

What my Clients say:

"Since training with Tom my confidence has grown so much, he helped me transition into the gym which for me had always been something I was apprehensive about. Tom’s sessions are so much fun and he made me feel like he really cared about my wellbeing. I feel like I’ve learned a lot from him, not only about fitness but about myself and what I’m capable of"

Perin Jadav

Wellbeing Personal Trainer

How can I help you improve your health?

I believe that having a good workout routine not only helps you physically but spiritually and mentally. In my spare time I love studying the brain from a neurochemical approach, to understand why we do what we do. This allows me to build compound habits and realistic lifestyle changes that my clients can commit to for long-term success. My passion is callisthenics, by using body weight as resistance, you have no excuse for not working out. It takes practice, but once mastered the results are incredible and long-lasting.

My goal as a personal trainer is to have all my clients incorporate working out into their daily lives, as something fun that they look forward to and not as a chore. Your body is capable of a lot more than you realise.

What my Clients say:

“Perin brings an enthusiasm to training that I didn’t feel when using the gym by myself. I am learning a lot about what my body and mind can do and pushing myself further than I thought I could manage. I used to dread coming to the gym and now I am always looking forward to my next session."

Richard Kulicsek

Wellbeing Personal Trainer

How can I help you improve your health?

I have a completely tailored approach to each individual I work with, both in terms of how I support my clients and the programmes they receive. With over 10 years of experience in fitness, I have helped numerous clients with a variety of different goals. As a PT, I aspire to work with people who are seriously dedicated to becoming the healthiest and fittest versions of themselves, helping them achieve this and making the process fun along the way.

I believe that the gym doesn't necessarily have to be your only source of fitness, but can supplement your wellbeing and help you to explore ways to improve at sports and physical activities also. Having the freedom to do anything with your body is an awesome feeling and I aspire to help my clients reach that level. I can help you with Yoga, Boxing, Muay Thai, Weightlifting, Calisthenics and much more.

I believe that health and fitness is unique to the individual and therefore work with my clients to design an exercise program and help them to learn healthy habits tailored specifically to their goal and lifestyle. I have worked with clients in many aspects of health and fitness from general health goals with complete beginners to the gym, to working with professional athletes coming back from injury. I am a qualified kickboxing instructor, have a BSc Sports Therapy, an MSc Sports Performance and level 1 Precise Nutrition.

Since starting just over a month ago I have already noticed an increase in my strength, tone and flexibility. I always look forward to my sessions and would recommend Joe to anyone who wants to achieve their goal whatever that may be. He has great knowledge in all aspects of the fitness field, is easy to get on with and always gives encouragement and support'

Rob Pleming

Personal Trainer

How can I help you improve your health?

I have a unique and innovative approach to coaching, incorporating all aspects of the body and mind to help all my clients achieve the best and often far more than they ever expect. This approach combines NLP techniques (Neuro Linguistic Programming) to ensure the mindset, and way of thinking, is conducive to getting the desired results with the neurokinetic therapy aches and pains approach, which focuses on how the whole body operates rather than just focusing on a specific ache/pain. I practice Precision Nutrition, using this to help my clients make changes to their diet and improve their body composition, health and lifestyle.

My qualifications

  • CIMSPA
  • BSc Sport & Exercise Science
  • Master Practitioner in Neuro-linguistic Programming
  • Time Line Therapy Coach
  • Hypnosis Practitioner
  • Motivational Maps Licensed Coach
  • Neuro Kinetic Therapist Level 2
  • Precision Nutrition Coach
  • Resistance Training Specialist
  • Pre & Post Natal
  • Russian Kettlebell Coach

What my Clients say:

"This man will change your life! I arrived in my 50s, fat and with a limp from a back injury that was causing a lot of joint pains. I was only going to swim – the gym was far too scary – then I met Rob. This kind, patient and very knowledgeable man has transformed me. Our sessions are always changing so I’m always learning new skills and never bored.  I work harder than I thought possible and am encouraged, cheered on and reminded of how much progress I’m making. Although I work hard, we laugh a lot too. He has also helped and encouraged me to change my diet. I feel healthy, strong, fit and happy."

I specialise in pain management/rehabilitation and strengthening, being a level two practitioner in neurokinetic therapy (NKT) and a level one practitioner in integrated kinetic neurology (IKN) I can assess and treat the root cause of pain instead of the symptoms, with the goal of getting the client moving and feeling better both in the gym and outside. I also have qualifications in biomechanics and pre and post-natal allowing me to program specific sessions for the client on the gym floor.

Ben Whitehead-Thompson

Wellbeing Personal Trainer

How can I help you improve your health?

Since the age of 5, I have grown up in a sporting environment, especially football which I still currently play at a very good level. I previously attended the Strachan Football Foundation for a duration of 3 years, allowing me not only the opportunity to improve my own skills within football but also to pursue a career within the fitness industry. As a result of my prior experiences, I personally believe I am well equipped to benefit a range of clients, specifically focusing on introducing them to Plyometric Training, which I have a vast knowledge of. Furthermore, I'll assist my clients by providing a wide variety of training exercises and increasing their accountability when it comes to their fitness regime.

My qualifications

What my Clients say:

"I've been training with Ben for 3 months and I have found every session challenging and enjoyable. Under Ben's guidance, I have developed a better understanding of the gym and improved my form, technique, strength and endurance.
