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 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.

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!

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!

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!

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”.

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!
