Daniel Barker

Wellbeing Personal Trainer

How can I help you improve your health?

When joining a gym it’s difficult to know what type of workout is best for you to achieve your goals, particularly if you haven’t used a gym before. My focus is always on you, your goals, and making your aspirations for a fitter, healthier, higher quality life a reality.

I am a BSc graduate in Sport and Physical Activity which in turn allows me to assist you in the management of metabolic diseases such as Obesity, High Blood Pressure and Type 2 Diabetes. I also have a proven track record in Weightloss.

So whether you are new to the gym, or not seeing results in your current fitness programme, then please get in touch to discuss how I can help you achieve your goals.

My qualifications

  • Level 3 Personal Trainer

What my Clients say:

“Having never been to the gym before, I was super nervous walking in for my induction. Over the last few months working with Dan, not only have I found myself hitting my goals in the gym but my confidence has grown massively.” - Vicki Lister

Carrie Burnett

Wellbeing Personal Trainer

How can I help you improve your health?

Hello, I’m Carrie! I developed my interest in fitness through playing football from a young age, from which I gained a soccer scholarship to play in America. It was there that I was introduced to gym-based training and developed a great interest to further pursue this type of training. Furthering that interest, I gained my level 3 qualification in Personal Training with the want of spreading that passion and knowledge onto others. My passion is to help people change their lives, both physically and mentally, making people feel happy both inside and out!

My friendly, warm and non-intimidating approach is why my clients love working with me, and helps keep them motivated and improving each and every week. I'm here, ready to help and support you all the way to your goals. So if you feel ready to improve your fitness, get support and guidance with your mental and physical wellbeing, I'm here for you.

My qualifications

  • Circuit Training
  • Level 3 Personal Trainer

What my Clients say:

"Carrie is such a wonderful and caring personal trainer. She always makes sure I feel comfortable. Before I started working with Carrie, I was always very self conscious when I came to the gym, and thought that everyone was looking at me. But after working with Carrie and guiding me as to what the best exercises are to help me achieve my fitness and weight loss goals, my confidence has been boosted! I feel so much stronger and more confident. I can't thank her enough. I would definitely recommend anyone to work with her."

Emily-Rose Caplan

Wellbeing Personal Trainer

How can I help you improve your health?

Following completion of my PhD in Psychology and a 5-year career in investment banking, I am now passionate about my role as a Personal Trainer. I love to use and apply my varied life experience to work collaboratively with clients of all backgrounds. My personal interest is in resistance based training for shape, strength and health. I firmly believe that this approach to achieving results personally and for my clients is the most manageable, beneficial and maintainable.

It is important for me to be totally transparent with clients and I spend time to educate them on the importance of factors outside of the gym such as daily activity and nutrition, helping them to build healthy habits. Once we have these under control it is much more attainable to then see real, impactful results in the gym.

I have also completed additional Nutritional certification with the Royal Society for Public Health as well as currently studying Strength and Conditioning at an advanced Level 4. 

My qualifications

  • Level 3 Personal Trainer

What my Clients say:

"Emily-Rose is an endearing trainer who takes pride in getting to know her clients very well in order to get the very best results for them. Her varied experience in life gives her a unique outlook and she will always do everything within her power to make sure that you see the progression that you desire."

Matt Crabtree

Wellbeing Personal Trainer

How can I help you improve your health?

I have developed my health and fitness knowledge through years of my own training and through working with clients with an array of fitness goals. Over the years one thing that has become more important to me is the need to ensure that my clients are gaining knowledge from our time together so that they are able to continue with their high quality workouts for as long as they continue to exercise. A level 4 strength and conditioning workshop has given me additional insight into the impact that increasing personal performance has on the results that we achieve together as well as on your confidence and quality of life. 

My qualifications

  • Circuit Training
  • Level 3 Personal Trainer

What my Clients say:

"Matt is a fantastic personal trainer. I started out with a 6 week programme which he designed to increase my strength and overall fitness. The endless support and enthusiasm from Matt really helped me to stay consistent and I genuinely looked forward to every session. He is knowledgeable and passionate about his craft and loves seeing his clients achieve their goals. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough."

What my Clients say:

“Right from the start I was impressed with Kevin’s expertise and how that could be applied to me and my goals.. to be honest it’s rare to find someone who has extensive knowledge and practical experience in both training and nutrition.”

“Kevin has been integral in helping me understand and work with the injury and has given me more sound advice than the numerous 'experts’ I’d discussed my injury with previously.”

"For anyone stuck in a rut or wanting help to reach their goals, I really recommend trying personal training with Kevin, as although it by no means an easy option (he will push you!)  it has really worked for me. My only regret is I wish I hadn’t waited as long as I did before working with him.”

Jason McCalmon

Wellbeing Personal Trainer

How can I help you improve your health?

Having competed in high-level amateur boxing and onto professional boxing, I have gained a massive pool of knowledge and experience in competitive sports-related fitness and HIIT training.

Aaron Stevens

Wellbeing Personal Trainer

How can I help you improve your health?

Being a stand up comedian was my second career choice... My passion for wellbeing, physically and mentally is my first choice. Why? Because I learnt from a very early age the power that making someone laugh had and it's never left me.

They say laughter is the best medicine. It triggers healthy physical and emotional changes in the body. It strengthens the immune system, boosts mood and diminishes pain and stress. Nothing works faster or more dependably to bring your mind and body back to balance.

This is why my sessions combine this healing modality. I want you to love your sessions both physically and mentally. Will you work hard with me? Absolutely! I can't promise you'll laugh at everything I say but what I can promise is you will be transformed. Don't take my word for it, book a session and see for yourself.

My qualifications

  • Level 3 Personal Trainer
  • Circuit Training

What my Clients say:

"Aaron is brilliant! A fun guy to be around with a warm heart and full of enthusiasm.

He always pushes me hard and encourages me think in a positive way. He has good knowledge and help me to understand myself more. I would highly recommend anyone to hire Aaron who is looking to make big strides toward their personal fitness goals”.
