MEET OUR FITNESS INSTRUCTORS

Dawid

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.

Erica

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.

Stephen

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.

Do you know we also offer Junior Gym?
