Your gym induction begins with a 1-2-1 chat with one of our qualified fitness instructors, who will tailor a bespoke gym programme based on your specific goals to help you achieve better results. They will also introduce you to our range of equipment and machines to ensure you feel comfortable.
You can then book a refocus session every 6 weeks, designed to refresh and update your workout programme. Our fitness instructors are always happy to assist with any questions or support you may need.
Spend quality bonding time with your family while you work out. Our popular Adult and Junior Gym sessions allow 11-17-year-olds to attend the gym accompanied by any pre-paid adult. These sessions are a great way to encourage and develop healthy fitness habits in young people.
From a young age I have always been active and since I moved to England in 2007 I was determined to keep my fitness journey going. I have managed to get myself an apprenticeship in personal training and fitness instructing at the Sands Centre in 2014. Since then I have grown my knowledge with guidance from the excellent personal trainers and gained many more fitness qualifications through the years. I am passionate about delivering fitness sessions and classes, guiding new and old customers through their own personal fitness journey. I am currently training as a power lifter which involves heavy strength training in the 3 main lifts (Bench Press, Deadlift, Squat) constantly setting myself new challenges and goals.
I began training 9 years ago for a charity boxing event (after losing a bet) after winning the fight it gave me the drive to keep getting fitter and stronger so I began training at The Sands Centre gym with a Personal Trainer and enjoyed my own journey so much I wanted to help others achieve there fitness goals so I completed a 1 year FI apprenticeship with GLL at The Sands Centre in 2017. I then went on to take my current role with GLL as A fully qualified Fitness Instructor. Since then I have become a level 3 qualified Personal Trainer.
I complete in Crossfit and have previously won Britain's Fittest Farmer.
My journey started from playing team sports which led to pursuing a career in sport and fitness at University. After completing my studies moved to Cumbria and maintained my fitness qualifications. Found a passion for functional training which helped my mental health and inspired me to coach others.
I have a firm belief that fitness is for everyone and I am keen to encourage our community who feel they can’t exercise due to long term health conditions, impairments or disabilities that there is always something you can do and I / we will try to work with you to achieve your goals.
