Our Team

Coming from a sporting background I always loved the associated training component. When I was 15 we were asked to put together a business plan as part of our coursework. Mine described a community based gym that had the following core values: -Quality, constantly evolving coaching -Radical inclusiveness -An ego-free atmosphere To this day, these are still the core values that underpin GO:VER GYM

Hello I’m Claire. When we set up Go:ver Gym in 2014 I had no idea how many fantastic people I would meet along the way and what a wonderful community we would come to be a part of. I am very lucky to have such a nice place to go to work every day.

Hello I’m Lewis. I’m a bodybuilder and have dedicated the past 4 years to putting my body through a serious amount of pain. I'm looking forward to learning new and exciting things with becoming an instructor and starting my journey with Gover Gym.

I'm passionate and supportive and love to motivate people in achieving their personal fitness & health goals. There is nothing more rewarding to me than seeing members achieve their goals, no matter how big or small.

I'm a certified level 3 personal trainer who specialises in sustainable body recomposition for women which means helping you lose fat and build lean muscle without extreme diets. I live with Type 1 diabetes and coeliac disease, so I understand the unique challenges of managing health while pursuing fitness. My approach combines real-world experience with science-backed training and nutrition to help you feel strong, confident, and in control. I'm here to support you with empathy, accountability, and proven strategies.

Research on strength training shows amazing evidence for improving and maintaining physical and mental wellbeing. I believe everyone should pursue these benefits and I am here to help everyone smash the process of getting stronger, fitter and happier!

One of the greatest gifts in life is the ability to learn; I see training as the perfect example of continued investment in yourself. I'm a HYROX Performance Coach and Level 3 Personal Trainer, specialising in strength and conditioning with a competitive edge. I work with everyday people who want to push their limits!

Hi, I'm Michelle and I'm a sports massage therapist.  I work alongside the PT's in assisting our clients achieve their goals: be that getting a deeper squat or getting out of bed pain free. I can help you if you have a recent injury or a long term chronic condition. Come find me and have a chat!

I teach a professional style of boxing which I have learnt from World Champion Coach Adam Booth. Boxing is also a fantastic way to relax, it is an aggressive form of meditation but it works just as well as its calmer counterpart. With me you’ll learn the art and science of boxing ... hitting hard and being hard to hit!

I aim to find each individual's passion for fitness and nutrition and transfer this to their everyday life. I am a specialist coach of functional movement and incorporate these exercise disciplines into varied sessions.

When I joined Go:ver Gym I was immediately welcomed into the family – this is the friendliest gym I have ever worked in. I teach Pilates, Dance & Barre classes with the focus on variety & fun with attention to detail & lots of motivation thrown in to keep you coming back for more!

I’m a Qualified British Powerlifting coach, and I’m committed to helping people get stronger. For me, strength training isn’t just about the physical—it’s about the mental challenge too. I’m passionate about pushing past perceived limits and showing people they’re capable of more than they thought possible. My goal is to help you build not just physical power, but confidence and resilience that carries into everyday life.

I have 20 years experience in combat sports across judo, karate and kickboxing. Over that time I have won championships across regional and national levels as well as qualifying and competing at the IGKF world championships in 2016 and was a part of the national coaching team for 4 years. I hope to take this further and follow a career in fitness and combat sport coaching, expanding my knowledge and experience as I go, guided by the ethos of “have fun, learn something, help someone”.

My name is Trudi Dawson, I’m a Doula UK doula, a FEDANT-approved Antenatal Teacher and a RYT300hours Yoga Instructor. My yoga classes support women through all stages - pregnancy, postnatal and pelvic floor restore being my main focus. I have been a member of Go:ver Gym since it first opened and I think it’s an awesome place to work and work out!
