Meet the Team

Hi, I am Nathan Cooper, I have been here at de Stafford for over 8 months now. I have worked with many people with various fitness levels and different goals. I am a big sports fan (especially football), so this is one of my strong points, as I have qualifications in sports specific training. I am very determined to help individuals reach their fitness goals. I believe personal training helps you to effectively achieve your goals, help motivate and best of all keep you interested with a variety of different training methods.

Hi I’m Claire Gater I have been working at de Stafford Sports Centre as a Personal Trainer/Fitness Instructor for nearly 2 years.

I enjoy working one to one with people and believe that personal training can be a huge benefit, whether helping you to reach that goal you have always dreamed of or even to just boost your confidence within the gym environment.

I have trained a number of different people at both centres, both indoors and out, using a variety of methods to get them to where they want to be. I like to set realistic targets over the course of time people train with me, in order to keep them motivated and to ensure they are heading in the right direction. I keep my sessions fun and interesting, introducing new exercises and ideas each time.  Feel free to give me a call or come for a chat if you are interested in booking a free consultation with me.

Whether you want to drop a dress size or two, build up your muscle or even improve your fitness for a specific sport, I am here to help!

Hi I’m Tim Marshall and I’m a Personal Trainer for Tandridge Trust. I’ve been involved in sports and fitness since I was 8 when I started playing football before going to a school big on sports. I represented my school at Athletics, Hockey, Cricket, Cross Country and my main sport, Rugby. I also have an interest in a wider variety of sports from American Football to Golf and beyond.

I have been a Personal Trainer since January 2012 however I’ve worked in the fitness industry since I joined Tandridge Trust in March 2011. I have been involved with gyms and training since I was 14 and have gathered a vast wealth of knowledge from co-professionals and fitness coaches.

My aim is to make personal training interesting, informative for the client, fun and most of all about helping you achieve your maximum potential. I believe that working hard is the best way to achieve results and I train regularly myself. I always make sure I try out new exercises in my own training before I use them in my personal training sessions so I’ll never ask you to do something that I haven’t tried myself.

So if you are looking to lose weight for a wedding, gain muscle and strength or train for a specific sport or event and have fun doing it, then please feel free to chat to me in the gym.

Hey, I’m Ben Stubbs and I’ve been a Personal Trainer across both sites at de Stafford Sports Centre and Tandridge Leisure Centre since 2005. 

I have a wide range of fitness qualifications; Premier Training Level 3, Nutrition, Power Plate Level 1 & 2, Bosu trainer, Boxercise and Kick-Boxercise, Speed, Agility and Quickness. 

I love challenging myself and seeing how much I can push my own fitness level. I have completed the Triple Peaks in 24 hours (climbing the 3 highest mountains in England) and I challenged myself to a London to Paris cycle ride. I believe in training hard and being strong mentally because you'll be able to believe in yourself and achieve your goals. I teach my clients motivation techniques to help them achieve this.

If you want a new challenge, anything from giving yourself the ‘gym buzz’ feel good factor to training for your first marathon, please pop by and say hello to me!

 

Hi I’m Charlie Thorn and I’m a Personal Trainer for Tandridge Trust. I have been in the fitness industry since 1998 and have gained a wide variety of fitness qualifications during this time. These include Exercise & Pregnancy, Advanced Core Stability, Power Plate, Exercise & Aging, and GP Referral.  I also have a number of children and teen fitness and obesity qualifications.

 

Here is a bit of background information about me. My childhood was taken up with competitive gymnastics; I was training between 5-15 hours a week! During my teens I played for many of my school’s sports clubs. Once I hit my adult years and the PE lessons stopped and life and work took over, I ended up (like most females) putting on weight. My weight and body fat has yo-yoed over the years and the main thing I have learnt is 'eat less and move more'! It's that simple!

 

I can help you achieve your goals through training on and off fitness equipment, as well as in my adult’s trampolining class! I personally love using the Power Plate and free weights in my own training sessions.

 

All of my sessions are fun and light hearted but will certainly get your heart pumping and your muscles moving.  If you feel I could help you in any way, from something as small as improving pelvic floor control to losing weight and toning up, please do not hesitate to contact me.

 

 

Hi, I’m Shane Sollis, I have been working for Tandridge Trust since April 2011.

 

I have a great passion for fitness and train 4-5 times per week, with one day being a core and swimming session, core training is very important and can help posture, improve strength and reduces risks of injury that’s why this is one of my strongest areas, the rest of my workout is aimed at improving strength, gaining some muscle whist staying lean.  

I have been very successful at achieving my goals and I have gained muscle, strength and I maintain a low body fat % through a good diet and training.

I have a level 3 Diploma in Personal Training trough Premier training and can give Nutritional advice, I also have certificates in Medicine ball training and Kettlebells training and have completed a level 1 Power Plate course.

So what ever your goals whether its weight loss, toning, gaining muscle, improving fitness or improving your core strength, I’m here to help you achieve your goals.
