About Steve:
Hi I’m Steve, currently PT lead at Nuffield Health Stoke. I’ve been in the fitness industry for over 15 years and have always been active.
Over this time my training methods and interests have changed and adapted to meet my needs and current trends.
I’ve a passion for helping others achieve what they think is impossible and to guide them through any life changes that helps them to achieve their goals.
Along the way I’ve also taught fitness courses to 100’s of new PT’s and gym instructors and continue to look to help people get into the industry and improve the quality of PT’s through my jointly owned training centre Advanced Fitness Careers Limited.
I like to set myself challenges and prove that you don’t need hours upon hours in the gym to train. Having said that next week myself and Ryan are running the London marathon to raise money for Hospice UK which will be the biggest challenge yet to complete so if you can support us all donations will be welcome.
