James became a PT because he realised he got on very well with people and was able to build their confidence through exercise whilst having a bit of a laugh. He originally trained as an actor however when he didn’t get the role of James Bond, he decided to deny the acting world of his talents and handed them to the fitness industry instead.

He has a Dip (Hons) in Sports Therapy and is further qualified in Advance Kettlebell. He is also a Pre-Hab Trainer and Kaiser Trainer.

His style of training works multiple joints and muscles whilst at the same time leaving you gasping for breath and his philosophy is not spending hours in the gym. Abbreviated training every time. Get in. Get on. Get out.

Mike started working with Phoenix Fitness Group in 2008 after qualifying as a PT with Premier Training. He now manages their The Train Station Gym which opened in 2013.

He loves all sorts of exercise. The more varied the better. Endurance running, hill sprints, gymnastics, boxing and weightlifting and even (shh) a spot of CrossFit.

He believes that every session should be varied, fun and effective.

Trish has gone from being a receptionist at an Italian food importers to gaining Level 3 qualifications in Personal Training and Pole Fitness. You can sometimes see her perform pull ups or ‘the flag’ which is an indication of her incredible strength. She loves HIIT and weights, as strength in women is something she aspires to.

She loves working with female clients encouraging them to do more weights as she is proof in the pudding that being strong does not mean you have to get bulky!
