Our staff at Sheffield

Zak Cook

Wellbeing Personal Trainer

How can I help you improve your health?

My Training is always tailored to the individual’s strengths and weaknesses. This will be based on progressing little by little, improving execution and form with barbells, dumbbells and other equipment.

I believe my job is to prepare you and give you the skills and knowledge to train and progress successfully on your own. So within our sessions I will do my best to educate you, teach you safe, effective form and to plan your own workout. I am here for as long as you need me.

My training style is base around giving you the confidence and structure you need to progress in your training. Focusing on the fundamentals of movement and strength whilst giving you the flexibility needed to live your daily life.

Stelios Filaj

Wellbeing Personal Trainer

How can I help you improve your health?

I have the skills and experience to work with people of all ages after finishing my BSc in Sports Science and MSc in Strength and Conditioning. Working with athletics and weightlifting clubs, we can accomplish greater movement in your daily life by developing specific programmes for your condition or any form of injury or dysfunction. I lead the strength sessions, with a strong emphasis on injury prevention exercises. Positive health begins with a positive mind, which is why establishing an enjoyable atmosphere is important. I will be available for any advice you require regarding your health, food, training, or anything else you are considering.

Kyle Griffin

Wellbeing Personal Trainer

How can I help you improve your health?

  • Specific training that’s tailored to your goals, one size most certainly does not fit all
  • Help you build better habits in life not just in the gym
  • Do you look in at classes and think I wish I could do that or do you find yourself hopping from cardio to cardio machine not having a plan? I can give you the tools to be confident in the gym and classes. 
My training style isn’t really a training style, I just ask for you to be consistent, consistency is key to building habits. Your health isn’t a 30-day challenge it’s a lifestyle so play the long game.

Louise Hatton

Wellbeing Personal Trainer

How can I help you improve your health?

I am a registered nutritionist as well as a PT and I'm passionate about working with both modalities to improve health and wellbeing. 

I'd never been 'into fitness' before my late 30's, but now having studied and applied what I've learned to my own life I know that health transformations are possible!  Overcoming some of my own barriers has made me realise that there's something for everyone in fitness. With tailored support we can all achieve the best possible version of ourselves.

My training style is positive and personalised. We will agree a programme that is relevant to you: taking into account your likes, dislikes, needs and lifestyle factors. We will define clear goals and work towards them in a way which is sustainable and enjoyable for you: enjoying the journey is key to your success!

Desire: nothing will stop you.
Self- belief: you'll maximise your potential.
Self-compassion: you empathise with how you feel and choose to act in your best interests.
Habits and planning: continuous tiny changes, as part of a progressive plan over time, with the big vision in mind.

Patrick Muirhead

Wellbeing Personal Trainer

How can I help you improve your health?

I can help teach you about different modalities of training and help find what suits you best as well as helping develop your confidence in the weight room. I can also help with the one of the more underappreciated side of health and fitness in your mentality and how to adapt your mind-set to improve your health. I like to describe my training style as purposeful and educational. I strongly disagree with doing something for the sake of it and that especially when it comes to training, everything has a purpose and a reason, and I am more than happy to explain. Lastly, I truly believe that small, repeated meaningful actions make for strong lasting effects and victories.

Lauren Severn

Wellbeing Personal Trainer

How can I help you improve your health?

Having completed a degree in physiotherapy, I have witnessed and helped many individuals improve their quality of life and health through exercise and advice. I am now merging this knowledge with personal experiences to promote that fitness is for everyone and can be useful when not only used as a recovery but in a preventative manner. I understand how daunting entering a gym can be and together we can prove everyone has a place here at Nuffield.

My style consists of a range from cardio to weight training to stability and workout. Having a background in physiotherapy then allows me to combine all these fitness components into personalised programme no matter if you are recovering from injury or wanting to reach specific fitness goals.

Drawing on my years involved in coaching and mentoring I can tailor a programme to meet each client's individual needs and goals. I am passionate in helping clients recognise and overcome their fitness barriers and to help them reach their personal goals. Having been a gym user most of my adult life I recognise and know personally how each stage in life can effect fitness goals due to time commitments, family and careers.
