Ben Fitchet
Growing up playing cricket and football I fell in love with the process of becoming a better athlete. This led me to pursue a career in personal training, where I now have a record of successfully helping clients of all ages and fitness levels reach their goals.
Specialising in functional strength training, mobility, injury prevention and weight loss, I believe a well-rounded approach to fitness is key to achieving optimal health and performance. This is why I work closely with each of my clients to develop customised training plans that are specific to their goals, needs and fitness level.
Paulina Szymanska
Paulina is a highly qualified personal trainer with a passion for helping her clients achieve their fitness goals. Her journey in the world of fitness began when she played semi-professional football, which taught her the importance of discipline, hard work and consistency in achieving success. Her passion for fitness is why she pursued higher education. She earned a Master's degree with distinction as a Physical Education Teacher, and fitness instructor and personal trainer qualifications.
Paulina is now an expert in personal training, pre and postnatal personal training, functional strength coaching and nutrition coaching. She believes that fitness is not just about looking good for the summer but building habits that last a lifetime. This is achieved through consistency over intensity and creating long-term habits to help her clients become their best selves. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced athlete, Paulina will work with you to create a customised fitness plan that fits your lifestyle and helps you achieve your desired results.
Prash Amin
It is never too late to embark on a fitness journey. We all face time constraints, but regardless of your commitment period, my role as your coach is to optimise the time you have and make the most of it for you.
Additionally, I strive to make training as fun as possible throughout the entire training process, ensuring that you find fulfilment and satisfaction in your workouts. Creating a supportive and motivating training environment is crucial to me. I take into account your unique circumstances, goals and limitations to develop personalised training plans that are both challenging and enjoyable.
I firmly believe in the significance of proper form and injury prevention, prioritising your safety and well-being throughout our sessions. Moreover, I adopt a holistic approach to fitness by integrating exercise, nutrition and lifestyle modifications. Understanding that a well-rounded approach is key to achieving optimal results, I provide guidance and support in all aspects of your fitness journey.
Together, we will work towards creating sustainable habits that promote long-term health and well-being.

Jamie Jeffrey
Hello, my name is Jamie, and I run the Calisthenics classes at Gym Nation. I am a Coach, Teacher and Trainer of Calisthenics, Gymnastics and Flexibility.
My own background is in competitive Acrobatic Gymnastics, a version of gymnastics where you work in a partnership, a bit like the circus! I was on the British Team with my training partner and in 2019 we won a silver medal at the European Championships.
I started working as a coach while I was still training at Richmond Gymnastics Association, first helping out in the competitive development squads, and later working as a co-lead with a colleague to prepare young gymnasts for competitions. I also worked in the general gymnastics programs at RGA.
I transitioned out of gymnastics coaching and into private coaching in 2022, and have been leading the calisthenics classes at Gym Nation since the end of 2023.
I primarily work with people at Gym Nation on their calisthenics skills. I work with beginners who are looking to explore body weight training for the first time, as well as more advanced clients looking to develop their skills further.
I am always excited to work with someone who has a clear idea of what they want to do, whether that be learning a handstand, building some pull ups, or even getting back to feeling strong after a period of inactivity. If you have something in mind that you think I could help you with, contact me via email or Instagram.

Rupert Drew
Early in my career, I focused on being a transformation coach, helping people build muscle and achieve their leanest conditions. Through my journey, I've been coached by remarkable mentors in bodybuilding, weightlifting and calisthenics, a humbling experience that has given me invaluable insights.
I have coached numerous people to achieve the physical results they always wanted. Just like Rod, who lost 12kg, became stronger and more physically confident in the first three months we worked together.
Here's what Rod had to say: "Training with Rupert changed my life. I was physically active in my twenties, but since entering my mid-forties, I became concerned about the health impacts of being overweight and under-energised. Three months after beginning my fitness journey with Rupert, I lost over 12kg and my body fat percentage decreased by 18%. I became stronger and more physically confident. During that time, Rupert's guidance, encouragement and feedback was indispensable. He's not only exceedingly knowledgeable in his field; he's also conscientious in his coaching and diligent in his follow-up. I recommend Rupert to anyone who has no time to waste, who is motivated to make significant gains by working hard and staying focused. Like a trustworthy Sherpa, he'll guide you to the top!"
Brian Murray
As a competitive athlete who has represented Ireland on the international circuit in fencing, I discovered my passion for strength training through strength and conditioning sessions.
Currently competing in strongman, I also have a deep interest in Olympic weightlifting and powerlifting. My experience spans various strength disciplines, giving me a well-rounded approach to training and a wealth of knowledge to share with my clients.
My mission is to help individuals who have never set foot in a gym fall in love with strength training. Whether your goal is to lift heavier, move better or feel more confident in your own skin, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Together, we'll build not just physical strength, but mental fortitude as well.

Laura
My approach to personal training is shaped by a lifetime of movement and performance. I've been dancing since early childhood and hold a degree in Nutrition and Sports Science, alongside training in professional dance and martial arts.
After overcoming years of chronic pain and autoimmune conditions, I developed a deep understanding of intelligent programming, recovery and sustainable strength, knowledge I now integrate into every session.
I work primarily with busy professionals who want to build strength, resilience and confidence within demanding lifestyles, as well as athletes and performers looking to enhance performance and movement efficiency.
My philosophy is simple: build a strong, capable body that performs well and supports your life both inside and outside the gym.
Nick Prosser
I first got into the gym at 16, weighing nearly 120kg, and I wanted to do something about my weight. I ended up losing around 45kg, learning a lot along the way, and eventually deciding I quite liked this fitness stuff.
I qualified as a PT at 18, then went on to study Nutrition at university, graduating with a first-class degree. I've also got a Level 4 qualification in Sports Massage, so I've spent a fair bit of time learning about the human body, and I'm still learning.
I've had my fair share of ups and downs with training. I've struggled with my weight, body confidence, nutrition and injuries (including shoulder surgery, thanks to rugby). I've also spent plenty of time doing things completely wrong, so I know how confusing fitness can be, particularly when everyone seems to have a different opinion on what you should be doing.
One thing I've learnt is that there's rarely one right answer for everyone. Just because something worked for me, or someone on Instagram with a suspiciously good set of abs, doesn't mean it's necessarily right for you. That's why the first thing I want to know is what you want to get out of the gym. Whether you're a complete beginner, an experienced lifter or getting back into training after an injury, we'll figure out what works for you, rather than trying to squeeze you into a programme that doesn't fit.
I love teaching people about training and nutrition, and I'm a big believer that there are no stupid questions. If you don't know something, ask. If I don't know something, I'll tell you, and then I'll go and find out. I'd much rather do that than confidently give you a load of rubbish.
I'm chatty, enthusiastic and always up for a laugh, but I'll also be honest with you when something needs to change. Ultimately, I want you to feel comfortable, enjoy your training and understand what you're doing, without feeling like you need to dedicate your entire existence to the gym.
Jenni Wilson
I help women build confidence in their bodies both in and out of the gym. My coaching is rooted in body neutrality, focusing on how movement makes you feel rather than how you look. I believe exercise should support your life, which is why I work closely with clients to find movement that fits their individual needs, goals and hectic lifestyles.
I create a safe, welcoming environment where women of all experience levels can build strength with confidence, free from intimidation or pressure. As a qualified Mental Health with Exercise Coach, I understand the powerful connection between physical and mental wellbeing and I'm passionate about helping women feel stronger, more capable and more at home in themselves through movement.
Whether you're stepping into the gym for the first time, rebuilding your relationship with exercise, or looking to feel more confident and supported in your training as a more experienced gym-goer, I'm here to support you every step of the way.
George Armstrong
George is a competitive strongman with over 13 years of training experience, and a proven track record of nurturing everyday gym-goers into national-level strongman and strongwoman competitors, transforming both their body and mindset.
Whether it's strongman, powerlifting or general strength training, I bring a wealth of experience and expertise to every session. Let me guide you through personalised workouts and training plans tailored to your goals and abilities.
Take the first step towards a better you. Contact me today to start your journey.
Uche Obi
As a fitness coach with a National Academy of Sports Medicine background and experience in basketball and American football, I offer a versatile approach to physical fitness and strength training. Specialising in functional fitness and bodybuilding, my training combines core principles from bodybuilding and traditional strength training, including functional movements for a balanced approach.
I focus on creating sustainable fitness plans tailored to the busy lifestyles of individuals aged 25 to 40. Whether you're a seasoned gym-goer or new to strength training, we'll start with the basics, establish a strong foundation and progress from there. If your goal is to get lean while staying strong and able to move well, the combination of bodybuilding and functional fitness is the perfect solution.
When you work with me, you'll have access to your personalised training program via my app, a like-minded community for support, and nutritional coaching as needed.
Polina Liu
I specialise in teaching women how to lift weights so they can become the strongest, healthiest and fittest version of themselves. For women, lifting weights is the fastest path to getting toned and defined without getting bulky and spending hours in the gym. By doing this you can gain confidence and certainty, become friends with food and fall in love with training!
Workouts are fun and effective, focusing on what works for you, to ensure proper technique and mental awareness. Want to find out more? Visit my website or find me on the gym floor!
Anthony Barnes
I've developed my coaching over the last 12 years in the industry, built on the values of authenticity, curiosity and progression. It is continually refined to make the approach specific to you.
As an exercise specialist, I consider your anatomy, structure, lifestyle and training history to deliver truly personal training. Every decision starts with the individual in front of me; I do not offer a one-size-fits-all approach.
I've helped clients move from chronic pain to lifelong performance, lose 30kg+, and achieve physiques and confidence levels they didn't think possible. I've worked alongside and led elite teams of personal trainers, and I continue to learn from some of the industry's top minds. I'm also Co-Founder of The Coaching Initiative, an education platform for personal trainers focused on raising standards across the industry.
If you feel stuck, overwhelmed by conflicting advice, or frustrated by approaches that haven't worked, get in touch and let's discuss your next step.
Sam Armour
I'm Sam and I've been coaching strength, mobility and movement for nearly 20 years, with influences ranging from cycling to Olympic weightlifting to calisthenics to dance.
I've helped hundreds of people discover that you can improve your strength, mobility, muscle mass and longevity, all while juggling a busy job, family and social life.
Sure, we'd all like to build bodies that look like we're still in our twenties. But how about building a body that's just as capable as it looks? Losing strength, power, bone density or even just the simple ability to touch your toes is not inevitable as you age. And improving those qualities doesn't require hour upon hour every week. It just requires consistency, smart progression and a touch of reflection.
My qualifications include British Cycling coach, Kettlebell instructor, Training Older Populations and Animal Flow. Get in touch for a free consultation. Let's chat!
Luther Nzinga
I've been in the fitness industry for over a decade, so have seen many trends come and go. However, this doesn't stop me from increasing my knowledge to pass on to my clients to further enhance their progress and experience in their fitness journey. I feel incredibly fortunate to work with my clients, who are of all fitness levels.
My expertise in strength training comes from my own personal experience as a competitive powerlifter. Like my clients, I too am striving to constantly improve, and this helps me to build strong, supportive relationships with my clients. The advice and training I give comes from lived experience, especially when helping people to get into resistance training and improve on their current goals. Let's grow together!
Maria Minciu
Maria is a multi-training-style PT with a science background, based in Canada Water. Over a decade of experience working out, including sports such as basketball, boxing and swimming, has contributed to her appreciation for health and fitness. She has also completed three half marathons and has now entered the world of CrossFit.
She favours movements that combine strength as well as balance and she is enthusiastic about trying different types of exercise and challenging herself. As a PT she'll listen and tailor your training to your needs and lifestyle (and chat a lot!). She believes that workouts should be both accessible and enjoyable and is passionate about seeing people achieving their goals and getting the very most out of each workout, no matter their starting point.
Max Wade
Max is a competitive combat athlete with a long history of teaching people how to better their combat skills, as well as providing strength and conditioning coaching to make clients stronger and more powerful in the ring.
His training is heavily influenced by strength and conditioning and combat-based power training, which is reflected in all of his clients and athletes.
He is heavily client-focused and knows how to get the best out of the individual in front of him, adjusting training styles around each client.
