Rio Finlayter

Wellbeing Personal Trainer

How can I help you improve your health?

Having a degree in strength and conditioning has given me experience in working with a variety of athletes and tailoring to their specific needs. I have also trained several non-competitive individuals with a variety of goals. From learning basic weight training techniques, to achieving strength-based goals and body transformations. My developed knowledge in training combined with my easy-to-understand approach, will make anyone suitable to reach their desired goals.

Having gone through my own transformation, exercise and gym-based training have become a passion of mine, as it has benefitted my health and wellbeing. I now want to help others develop their training and achieve their personal goals.

If you are a beginner in the gym looking to build muscle, lose body fat and transform yourself, or you are a more experienced individual looking to further develop, then I would be able to assist you in achieving your goals.

Aleks Ivanov

Wellbeing Personal Trainer

How can I help you improve your health?

 I adopt a very client-centred approach where your goals, likes and dislikes are at the forefront of your training. Working with me I hope to educate you not only on the "why" of the exercise but to also help build confidence in yourself and promote healthy lifestyle changes.

I appreciate the hard work and dedication that all my clients put into achieving their fitness goals, which is why I am always prepared to go that extra mile to help each and every one of them to succeed.

My qualifications

  • Level 3 Personal Training

What my Clients say:

"Aleks has been very patient with me in and outside the gym and has always been available if I had any questions about anything."

"Whether it's gym, mentality or nutrition-based questions, Aleks always takes his time to ensure that you fully understand everything."

Dino Kararic

Wellbeing Personal Trainer

How can I help you improve your health?

Are you looking to improve your physical and mental well-being? I can help you achieve your goals through simple yet effective training principles that will build you up to be the best version of yourself. Whatever your goals, we can work through them together and enhance your overall lifestyle!

My qualifications

  • Level 3 Personal Training

What my Clients say:

"Since working with Dino I’ve noticed a huge difference in my body and confidence. After years of being stuck in a negative cycle that was focused on weight loss and left me disillusioned and disappointed, I have continued to be inspired by what I have achieved with Dino this year. The techniques and positive attitude to training and diet that he has bestowed have been a game changer for me. I can now walk into a gym and feel confident using weights and tailor my own session. I am much more mindful and disciplined about how I train and fuel my body, moreover, I now happily want to do these things rather than it feel like a chore."

Daniel Kraft

Wellbeing Personal Trainer

How can I help you improve your health?

Do you have a desk based career? From experience, office work can be very sedentary leading to poor food choices, posture issues, joint issues and weight gain. After personally battling these issues I have dedicated myself towards helping others improve their posture, ‘range of motion’, and reclaim their strength and athleticism.

I believe you can’t achieve a goal without getting out of your comfort zone and challenging yourself! So my sessions won’t be easy but I can provide the support and accountability you need to help build your confidence, develop functional fitness and achieve your physical goal(s).

Ask me about my tailored programmes including nutritional advice, with progress check in’s and test sessions to assess how close you are to reaching and surpassing your goal(s).

I specialise in:

  • Posture issue rehabilitation and weight loss
  • Pull-up success and Calisthenics
  • Kickboxing, pad-work and Judo
  • Athletic strength and performance
  • My qualifications

    • Level 3 Personal Trainer
    • MMA Strength & Conditioning Specialist

    What my Clients say:

    “Dan has been extremely supportive and knowledgeable throughout not just my rehabilitation but also getting me back to my former fitness capabilities! I used to run outdoors and go to the gym, but gradually dedicated more time than I should have to the office rather than looking after my health. My wakeup call was developing knee and then severe lower back issues requiring a physiotherapist. After the physio Dan was extremely adept at carefully bringing me back to strength, and now I can run as fast as I did in school and lift more than I ever have!”

    Francisca McNeill

    As a PT and Rehabilitation Specialist with a background in martial arts and gymnastics, I am able to help you increase your flexibility, balance and strength. I can also show you handy techniques to manage pain and come back from injuries. Let me help you reach your potential, so you can keep getting stronger and better every day.

    With the right approach, what seems impossible now can become a matter of course.

    What my Clients say:

    “Francisca is really good. Training with her feels deceptively easy as it is lot of fun! I find her training style really effective. She is friendly yet authoritative and has even motivated me to reduce my alcohol intake. I like the way I look fitter and feel stronger now going through day to day life. She has taught me a few strategies to help overcome my mental barriers. Plus, she taught me how to do a cartwheel!”

    Ben Morter

    Wellbeing Personal Trainer

    How can I help you improve your health?

    From working with a multitude of different clients, as well as competing in many different sports, I have gained a lot of experience in the fitness and sports performance industry. Whether it is teaching a beginner to use free weights/machines for the first time, perfecting an experienced lifter’s squat, or transforming a client’s physique through fat loss and muscle gain, my simple and friendly coaching style will make anyone feel comfortable and ensure results.

    I have worked a lot with complete beginners to the gym to help empower them and build their confidence on the gym floor, as well as transform the way they look and feel.

    I am a semi-professional football player currently playing left back for Milton Keynes Dons (MK Dons) in the third tier of women’s football, the FA Women’s National League- Southern Premier Division. I have played football since I was 8 years old with teams including Watford FC and ABAC college in Georgia, USA on a soccer scholarship.

    No matter your ability, level, exercise, or sporting interest from gym newbies to callisthenics and footballing athletes; if you are committed to the process, I am committed to your journey. When you fall in love with the process rather than the product, you don't have to wait to give yourself permission to be happy. Let's enjoy training together.

    I've been a personal trainer, sports therapist and a sports masseur since 2000, successfully working with a variety of clients.

    Alex Surridge

    Fitness and Wellbeing Manager

    How can I help you improve your health?

    Every session will be designed around your individual needs and goals. I will strive to apply all the knowledge that I have gained from my sports science degree where possible, as well as other related qualifications such as kettlebells, indoor cycling, movement screening and hopefully many more.

    I will use my experience in endurance sports, to help you in future races or events, with detailed plans in training, nutrition and injury prevention.

    On the other end of the scale, I have 6 years of weight training knowledge to help you increase muscle mass, burn fat, and becoming more mobile, with a specific diet and training programme around your lifestyle.

    My qualifications

    • Level 3 PT
    • Kettlebells
    • Movement Screening
    • Indoor Cycling

    What my Clients say:

    "I started PT sessions once a week in January with Alex in preparation for the London Marathon, and I honestly feel without these sessions, I wouldn’t have got over the finish line! During my sessions, Alex would push me to reach my goals, supporting me with increasing my overall fitness and building up my strength and legs for the marathon. Not only that, Alex provided me with brilliant nutrition plans, and a food plan for the week prior to the marathon which was so helpful. I would recommend Alex to anyone looking for a PT, and can’t wait to set new goals and start training with him again!"
