Approved Personal Trainers

I am a big believer in the benefits of Personal Training in improving and developing fitness and life quality levels of those of all ages, especially the over 50’s. But it has to be the right kind of training, with the trainer taking into account the history, capabilities and aspirations of the client. This is even more the case with those over 50, who may not have a recent record of fitness or may need exceptional levels of attention from the Trainer in order to remain motivated, to stick to the recommendations and therefore make progress over time.

FOF APTI hope I have those qualities, and am able to instil the requisite levels of confidence and enthusiasm in clients who choose me as their Personal Trainer.

But I’m not able to be everywhere at all times, so I have created a list of Personal Trainers country-wide that have been approved by me on behalf of Fitness Over Fifty Ltd., and I trust each of these Trainers to deliver the same quality of training and professional service that I strive to provide.

As a very minimum, each Personal Trainer has the REPS Level 3 qualification (or equivalent), full insurance, and a successful track record of clients – including those aged over 50.

More than this, every individual here has shown me they have the care and consideration to ‘go the extra mile’  to achieve client success, taking whatever extra effort is needed to ensure that their clients have positive, useful and enjoyable sessions with their trainer which enables the trainer to help the clients progress towards their goals.

Please contact any that has a training location convenient to you to discuss your own individual training support requirements.

I’ve been a competitive sport fanatic since my teens, including IronMan. Opening The Fitness Factory in 2005 was a natural progression for me and I have trained hundreds of people from 16 to 76, with the majority over 45. Whatever your fitness, health, or weight objectives may be, I will design a programme to help you achieve them, and to really love and enjoy your body again!

Kelvin Cornish – Cheltenham

At the age of 57 (2017) I decided to turn my hobby into a late change of career and am now a qualified L3 Personal Trainer. I have always been into fitness but as we age it is not easy to continue and we need more motivation. I concentrate on the over 50s because I can relate to similar problems of this age group. I want to be a role model to older people and encourage.

My husband and I jointly own a gym in Melbourne, Derbyshire that caters for the needs of all the community nearby.  Probably the fittest client here is 62, although we may up that one day!  I have a large client base, and some of the not-so-young ones often add some of my classes to the Personal Training – the Zumba class being a favourite around here!

Linda Matthews – Croydon and surrounding area

I am a mobile Level 3 Personal trainer specialising in over 50 clients. I am also qualified ITEC Swedish massage practitioner. I am 61 myself, and am just as fit as I was when I was in my 30’s. I have always worked out and so
my body is used to exercise; there is no reason why you still can’t be fit and agile well into your 60’s, 70’s and beyond.

Gwyn SamuelGwyn Samuel – Eltham

I became a personal trainer to learn more about how the body works and how I could train smarter not harder. I’m not affiliated to any gym and do all my sessions in the local park or at a clients home. I deal exclusively with over 50’s as, being one myself, I understand the stresses of an ageing body and how easy it is to get into a rut. I can help!

James Staring – Clapham, London

Back in 2005, I was a 39 year old smoker. I had been fit when I was younger but let my fitness slide for 15 years. I quit smoking and entered the London Triathlon. Fitness is now a major part of my life, going from a hobby to a career. I believe anyone can work towards a healthier lifestyle, regardless of age or ability. I love helping men and women in their 50s and 60s – like me – get into great shape.

Last on the page – courtesy or alphabet? I am the founder of Fitness Over Fifty and an Advanced Personal Trainer. I have a range of clients aged from 18 to over 70. I’ve lost a third of my bodyweight in the past ten years, and put on some muscle – and as a result I’ve added years and much quality of life in the process. I now help others make changes along the same route.
