How can I help you improve your health?

I really enjoy helping people become more confident in themselves through gaining size and strength or losing weight and becoming healthier day to day, due to my passion for fitness, I decided to become a Personal Trainer. 

I have gained 37kg, going from 68kg to 105kg in 2 and a half years through my love of studying nutrition, the anatomy of the body, as well as learning how the body responds to all types of training techniques that we can apply to you.

With a 10 year background in trampolining and gymnastics, I also understand the importance of incorporating mobility, flexibility, body conditioning and cardiovascular health to co-exist along with your training routine in the gym.

My qualifications

  • Advanced Future Fit Personal trainer
  • BTEC Higher Diploma in Sports and Remedial Massage
  • Modern Pilates Diploma
  • Energise weight management

What my Clients say:

"Can't believe I’m actually saying these words but ‘I love the gym’ and this is down to Sheila. I have been a yoyo member of the club for over 15 years but have only ever done classes. I would occasionally do the gym if there wasn’t a class to attend but would give up after 30 minutes and most definitely not push myself to the extreme.

Having not used the club through the pandemic, I decided to take the plunge in January and sign up for some PT sessions to get myself fit again, thinking I would despise every second. How wrong was I?

From day 1, Sheila made me feel relaxed and at ease, she has made the sessions enjoyable and varied (the time flies) and makes me really believe in myself. I have a back problem which I am seeing a physio for and Sheila always asks how I’m feeling, making sure the exercises are right for me. Sheila has given me so much confidence now that I can go and work out in the gym on my own without feeling self-conscious (and even get a sweat on!).

Thank you Sheila for all your drive and enthusiasm which completely rubs off on me. You have enabled me to now have a flexibility of using the gym as well as classes and made me love exercising again. I will be definitely extending on from the 3 months I’ve signed up to

Sheila is a diamond and I would highly recommend her to anyone. 10 out of 10 PT instructor."

Harvey Wilde

Wellbeing Personal Trainer

How can I help you improve your health?

I help people who are new to the gym achieve the body composition they want, whilst also gaining confidence by educating them along the way 

I want to be the last coach you’ll ever need. If a large part of your diet isn’t sustainable then it’s likely your results aren’t either. Your fitness goals should compliment your life, not take away from it.

My qualifications

  • Level 3 Personal Trainer

What my Clients say:

"When I first joined the gym, I was extremely unfit, overweight and had very little motivation. My motivation to make the change and join the gym first came to me when I was told by my doctor that I’m on the border of having diabetes, high blood pressure and other health issues. I thought to myself, at the age of 29, I need to change this, and I am the only one who can make these changes before these health concerns become permanent and irreversible. So, I took that leap and joined the gym."

"I started going to the gym on my own and found myself confused and lost. I knew very little about the gym like what equipment I needed to be using and how I should be using it. This caused me anxiety of the gym and I didn’t want to do it anymore. I then found my current personal trainer Harvey, which I can honestly say changed my life."

"For anyone looking to use Harvey as their personal trainer, I would highly recommend him as he is extremely knowledgeable, patient and giving you the push and encouragement, you need to reach your goals. "

"Harvey makes you a personal fitness plan to follow and will go above and beyond to check in on you on a regular basis to ensure you are still on track."

"Since working closely with Harvey we have managed to increase my fitness levels massively which has now led to me being in much better health, no more diabetes or high blood pressure risk. My experience with Harvey has been nothing but positive."
