Meet Your Coach
About Greg
With over 20 years of experience in health, fitness, and performance coaching, I bring a level of depth, discipline, and expertise that goes far beyond the typical personal trainer.
I hold a BSc and MSc in Sport and Exercise Science, and I’m currently completing a PhD exploring the impact of resistance training on mental health — combining cutting-edge research with real-world application. I also hold elite-level credentials, including the NSCA-CSCS and a Level 4 Strength & Conditioning qualification, and I’m a qualified teacher, assessor, and internal verifier.
My background includes service as a Physical Training Instructor (PTI) in the military, where I held various Army powerlifting records and learned the foundations of discipline, physical preparation, and leadership. Today, I work as a lecturer in sports coaching and sport science, while continuing to coach athletes and high performers across football, rugby, netball, swimming, athletics, and beyond.
My coaching philosophy is simple: Discipline beats motivation. Science beats guesswork. Progress isn’t random — it’s programmed. Whether you’re an athlete or a business leader, I deliver structured strength and conditioning that improves performance, builds resilience, and sharpens the mind as much as the body.
If you’re ready to train with purpose, get 1% better every day, and ditch the fluff — I’ll show you how.

The Performance Space
Train Where Performance Lives
Purpose-built. Private. Performance-focused.
Tired of packed commercial gyms, loud music, and waiting around for equipment? So was I. That's why I built a private strength and conditioning unit - a focused training space designed to deliver high quality coaching without distractions.
This where the work gets done. No ego lifting. No queue. No chaos. Just you, the programme, and real uninterrupted progress.
Whether you're an athlete in-season, a business leader chasing performance, or someone serious about your training - this is your edge. A facility built for strength, discipline, and results.
