Christine Quilter
Strength & Bodybuilding Coach, Essex
Christine coaches online, in person and also runs group training.
What makes her a great coach is her passion for helping people become stronger, more confident and comfortable in their own body. She's approachable, encouraging and genuinely cares about each client as an individual, taking pride in creating a positive environment where people feel supported while still being challenged to achieve things they didn't think they could.
Her own fitness journey and experience have taught her that consistency, confidence and the right support can make a huge difference, and she wants to give that to her clients.
Luca Williams
Strength & Bodybuilding Coach, Cardiff
Luca coaches both online clients and in-person clients.
What makes him a great coach is that he genuinely understands what it means to overcome challenges and keep pushing forward. He's a double leg amputee, having lost both his legs at just 3 years old, and he's had to overcome obstacles throughout his entire life. He's lost 44kg, trained consistently for the past 4 years, and is now preparing to compete in his first bodybuilding show.
He's experienced the highs, the setbacks and everything in between, which has taught him how to stay disciplined, adapt and keep moving forward when things get difficult. He also has a strong understanding of nutrition and how food, training and consistency work together to achieve results.
He doesn't just coach from theory, he practises what he preaches every day. He understands the challenges his clients face, and knows how to help them work through those challenges while keeping the process realistic, sustainable and enjoyable.
Cam Tallis
Strength & Sports Performance Coach, Pembrokeshire
Cam coaches online clients ranging from beginners to experienced.
One of the biggest things that makes him a great coach is that he practises what he preaches. He's constantly training, competing and pushing himself across strength, running, Hyrox and endurance, so he understands first-hand what it takes to balance training with work, life and everything in between — which makes him relatable to everyday people wanting to achieve something special.
His approach is centred around creating sustainable results rather than quick fixes. Whether a client wants to lose weight, get stronger, run their first marathon, take on a Hyrox or simply become fitter and more confident, he builds training and nutrition around their individual goals, lifestyle and experience. He doesn't believe there's one perfect training plan or diet — the best programme is one that fits the person and can be consistently followed.
Ultimately, he wants his clients to achieve things they didn't think they were capable of, while giving them the knowledge and confidence to keep progressing long after they finish coaching with him.
Craig Price
Nutrition & Sports Performance Coach, Cardiff
Craig coaches anyone from beginner to experienced.
With over 18 years of training experience and competing since 2016, he's gained a lot of knowledge to pass on and teach people how to get where they want to be. As a parent himself, his aim is to show his clients that they can reach their goals while dealing with all of life's demands.
He's worked with plenty of people who were beginning to lose hope after years of failed attempts. That's what makes coaching special to him: helping people realise their own potential and showing them how to see it.
Kamlesh Chavda
Strength & Rehab Coach, Leicestershire
Kamlesh coaches anyone who needs his help, both online and in person.
For him, coaching has never been about simply giving someone a programme and counting their reps. He invests in the person in front of him, paying attention to their technique, progress, confidence and mindset — knowing when someone has more to give and needs pushing, and equally when he needs to adapt, pull things back or simply listen.
With over 30 years of training experience, he's learned that great coaching isn't one-size-fits-all. Every person is different, and his job is to find what brings the best out of them. He cares about the small wins as much as the big transformations, because they're all part of the journey.
Ultimately, he wants every person he coaches to know they're never just another hour in his diary — their progress genuinely matters to him. 🦁
Ben Ekrem
Strength & Bodybuilding Coach, Surrey
Ben offers online coaching with occasional in-person sessions.
His approach is built on never doing too much too soon, taking the 1% approach that always works. He plays to each client's strengths and slowly introduces new, manageable habits that last, for a real transformation rather than a quick fix.
He treats every client exactly how he'd want to be treated, investing himself into their journeys like it's his own. He doesn't miss a beat, and he gets people real results.
Vita Losiute
Strength & Bodybuilding Coach, Nottinghamshire
Vita coaches people who want to build a strong, capable physique by teaching them how to train properly, progress with purpose and make fitness work for them.
She takes a no-nonsense, "less noise, better training" approach that has shaped her own natural bodybuilding journey.

Alice Jordan
Strength & Menopause Coach for Women 40+, Surrey
Alice coaches women aged 40+, particularly those navigating perimenopause and menopause. She works with clients both online and in person, helping them build strength, improve fitness, manage their weight and feel stronger and more confident as they age.

Her approach is realistic and sustainable, focusing on strength, nutrition and consistency, and she's proud of helping women become stronger, fitter and more confident, with results that last.
Jodie
Women's Strength & Nutrition Coach, Carmarthenshire
Jodie coaches women who want to build strength, muscle and consistency in the gym, with the option to go deeper into nutrition and food to support their goals.
Her approach digs into why clients keep struggling to stick to their goals in the first place, rather than simply telling them to follow the plan. Her job is to problem-solve and guide women through their fitness journey as they build a healthier lifestyle alongside everything else going on in life.
Kieran James
Personal Trainer & Bodybuilding Coach, Lincolnshire

Helen Rose
Strength, Rehab & Nutrition Coach, Somerset
I’m a Level 4 coach and Pilates instructor who has lived through leukaemia, a stem-cell transplant and chronic GVHD, and I’m still here lifting, running and helping other people feel strong in their own bodies. I got into coaching long before cancer because I loved what strength training did for my confidence, and it became absolutely non-negotiable “medicine” through treatment and recovery.
I’m proud that my clients trust me because I don’t just talk about resilience, I’ve had to build it from the ground up, adapting training around nerve damage, joint pain and fatigue while still chasing performance. When you train with me you get someone who understands injury, illness and busy real life, but who will still hold you to a high standard and show you how capable you really are.
Livvy
Strength & Nutrition Coach, Somerset
Works with women who want to rediscover themselves through training, helping them build a stronger, more confident version of who they are.
With over 6 years of coaching experience, every client goes on to build a lifestyle that lasts for good. Coaching here isn't a quick fix or a plan handed over to get on with alone: it's personal, hands-on, and built around real, lasting change.
Lewis Temby

Coaches in-person and online clients looking to get strong, look strong, and feel strong.
