Our staff at Chesterfield

Helen Begley

Wellbeing Personal Trainer

How can I help you improve your health?

I truly believe in a holistic approach to fitness, which to me, means setting achievable and realistic goals which we can achieve together.

Each person is an individual, so whether you have a physical goal (such as achieving your first sit-up) or a weight loss goal (having lost over 12 stone on my own fitness journey), I will ensure your program is tailored to your needs, likes and dislikes.

My qualifications

  • Level 3 Personal Trainer

What my Clients say:

"Working with Helen has changed my entire mindset around the gym environment. I used to be incredibly self-conscious and felt very intimidated; I had very little knowledge on how to keep myself safe, or even really where to start on which machine, and was paranoid everyone would be staring at me. Helen took time to listen to me, to what I wanted to get out of the original 12-week plan, and set goals I believed I could achieve - they were individual to me rather than a generic exercise plan you could give to anyone! She broke down the stigma I had around exercise and fitness, whilst challenging me on excuses I made (but always showing compassion and a caring attitude).

 Helen shared her own personal journey which really made me connect with my own struggles, and I have continued to train with her for several months now. The goals are harder, but always within my reach - we're currently working on running 5K for a charity event I have next month. I've lost inches in several areas of my body, but really noticed an improvement in my cardio fitness and endurance training - I no longer get out of breath running around after the kids or walking them to school, I have energy and my mood has hugely improved. She is always there to both celebrate my achievements or lend an ear if I'm struggling and we need to adjust our timeline."

My qualifications

  • CIMSPA
  • HMOT
  • GRIT
  • Sprint 
  • Advance Programme Design

What my Clients say:

"I had always said to myself that I wanted to lose weight, get in shape and become a lot fitter but actually it seemed that no matter how many times I attended the gym I never got the results that I wanted. Fred assessed me in all areas from cardio to weights, blood pressure and heart rate to help him plan an exercise programme to suit my needs and develop the areas I needed to work on. Over time I noticed that I had become more confident, fitter and attended more classes making me notice and feel that I was becoming stronger, healthier and happier each day."

Mark Ireland

Wellbeing Personal Trainer

How can I help you improve your health?

By listening to you and asking you the relevant questions I can determine what your goals are and therefore how I can help you.

I can then put together a tailored training programme, along with providing you with a better understanding of your nutrition and daily habits that will make sure you achieve your goals.

My qualifications

  • Level 3 Personal Trainer

What my Clients say:

"Thank you so much for your help and support with both food and exercise to get me to this point. I wasn't in a great place when I started, had put on a lot of weight and was struggling with my mental health. But now I'm down and maintaining my desired weight, strong, fitter and my mental health are the best it has been for a long time. I was nervous when I first started but you made me feel so comfortable, listened and pushed me just enough so I didn't quit. Thank you again for all of your help."

Jason Rodgers

Wellbeing Personal Trainer

How can I help you improve your health?

Helping clients' mindset so they see things differently and approach barriers with a more positive mindset.
Explain the reason for the exercises, therefore giving the client the tools to exercise efficiently and safely while working towards their goals

What my Clients say:

"I've been a client of Jason's since the end of January and couldn't be happier. I'm consistently moving up weight groups and losing weight.  I've been in the gym more since being with Jason than I have my whole life. One of my goals was to enjoy exercise again so that I'll be more inkling to go, some weeks I'm here 5/7 days and still looking forward to going back. Jason's been doing a lot of resistance work with me and not only do I see my progress in my weights going up but I can feel myself getting stronger in everyday life. I can't wait to see how much progress I make with my sessions with Jason."

My qualifications

  • Level 3 Personal Trainer

What my Clients say:

"I have been training with Mike since September 2020.  In that time following Mike’s detailed workouts, I have improved my strength tremendously. Before starting Mike’s personally designed workout plans I was a regular at the gym but never had the courage or motivation to push myself to improve my strength and overall health. I went from never deadlifting or squatting to now being able to deadlift 190kg and Squat 115kg as my current personal records. Mike is currently helping me reach my next goals of deadlifting 200kg and continuing my squat / leg strengthening development. When starting to train with Mike I was able to hit my goal of bench pressing 100kg in just over 2 months. It is truly remarkable how much my strength has developed over the past 16 months and the motivation it has given me to continue pushing my limits. The personal training sessions and the weekly workout plans keep me interested and driven to reach my next set of goals. I do not believe I would be able to reach this level of fitness without the help and guidance of Mike over the past 16 months."

My qualifications

  • Level 3 Personal Trainer

What my Clients say:

"I have always been quite nervous and self-conscious in gyms. I deliberately stuck to the treadmill and bike out of fear of more complicated-looking weights and machines. I have also slipped a disk in my back and had decided that at only 25 I would never be able to do intensive exercise. But before even becoming my Personal Trainer Rebecca would check in and give advice, slowly making the gym a less scary place. When we started working together she made sure we strengthened my back and prioritised my posture and form. She introduced me to the rest of the equipment and I am never looking back! She has driven me into doubling and tripling my personal bests. The impact on my mental health has been astounding. I had never considered Personal Training or Weightlifting, but working with Rebecca has sold me on both. She has changed my outlook and I am so grateful."
