Ethan Allsup

Personal Trainer

How can I help you improve your health?

Hello, my name is Ethan. I am new here to Nuffield Health. I studied for 3 years at Yeovil College doing Level 2 Fitness Instructing, Level 3 Personal Training and Level 4 Strength and Conditioning. I enjoy guiding people to reach and smash their goals and to help them become the best they can be. 

I have always enjoyed playing a variety of sports but I happened to play rugby for a few years starting from secondary school up until college. Playing these sports has encouraged me to train for the specific sport which made me notice all the benefits and improvements it makes on performances. I know how good training can make you feel, which has made me more passionate to motivate others and to improve your performance too. 

Feel free to come and find me, and start your journey with me. 

My qualifications

  • Level 4 Strength and Conditioning

Aaron Cole

Wellbeing Personal Trainer

How can I help you improve your health?

I have been playing many sports for my whole life such as rugby, football and more. But when I hit 14/15 years old I had to proceed in only one sport because it was getting too much and I was picking soreness and injuries frequently, so I went forward with rugby. Playing at Sherborne for a few years and playing in the 1XV playing one away from south west premier and picking trials here and there.

But I noticed the older I became the more difficult it became physically and mentally so that is when I started strength/power and general gym/fitness work towards my sport. This has progressed me to the next level and getting my name out there in the rugby scene!!

Adding Olympic lifting really pushes in all sports. 

I am here to use my knowledge to push you guys to the place you want to be both physically and mentally!

I enjoy a wide variety of training such as Olympic lifting, plyometrics, sports-specific sessions and many more. I have taken part in as many sports as possible such as cross country, track and field, football, rugby, Muay Thai, jiu-jitsu and many more combat sports.

My main goal for any client I have the opportunity to work with is to help you achieve your goals while making sure you enjoy your sessions.

Chris Woolmington

Wellbeing Personal Trainer

How can I help you improve your health?

My name is Chris and I've been a Personal Trainer at Nuffield since 2019. I started training in my early 20s to try and combat my issues with social anxiety. This began with training at home, then eventually I joined a gym and as my mentality improved, I decided I wanted others to experience the same changes that I had. That's when I decided to become a Personal Trainer.

I'm a huge advocate of Bodyweight training and the importance of core strength. I love Calisthenics, Gymnastic strength training and the fun/challenging aspect that they both bring to training. As a Personal Trainer my goal is to show people that they are always capable of doing more than they believe they ever could.
