Jeremy “JEL” Bearder

Hi, I’m Jel! Since 2008, I’ve been passionate about inspiring people in the fitness world. My love for movement and the outdoors started early, from school sports to my time serving in the Army. I’ve always thrived in teamwork and competition, with football, tennis, swimming, and athletics shaping my early years.

I proudly represented my regiment in all these sports and even became the Junior Army Discus Champion in 1990. Fun fact: I held a world record for two weeks—come to one of my classes, and I’ll tell you the story!

Adventure and fitness go hand in hand for me. Each year, I lead group trips packed with skiing, white-water rafting, trekking, and mountain biking. The Himalayas are a regular destination for multi-activity trips, and our classes have an active social calendar to keep the community spirit alive.

Whether it’s on the field, in the gym, or out on an adventure, my mission is simple: to help you move, grow, and enjoy every step of the journey.

Alvin Cheng

I am a dedicated private trainer from Hong Kong and has been transforming lives since 2016.
Armed with certifications from HK NASM and UK Level 3, I specialize in group classes, infusing each session with a contagious passion for fitness.

I firmly believe in the profound mental benefits of exercise. My commitment goes beyond the gym, as I advocate for holistic well-being.

In my downtime, you can find me indulging in my hobbies of volleyball and fitness workouts, staying true to an active lifestyle. With a blend of expertise, enthusiasm, and a deep-rooted belief in the power of fitness.

I am not just a fitness coach but a guide on the journey to a healthier, happier self. I believe one can discover himself through exercise, so let’s get mad!

Dave Storey

By day, I’m a mild-mannered software engineer; the rest of the time, I’m an avid fitness fan and instructor. With a background as a Royal Marine Reservist and REME Reservist, I have a passion for helping people smash their fitness goals while juggling my love for writing software.

For the past 12 years, I’ve been coaching fitness (YMCA Level 2 Diploma in Exercise and Fitness), and you’ll often find me tackling obstacle races, long-distance running, or causing havoc at the gym. Fitness isn’t just a hobby—it’s a way of life for me.

Emma Cook

I’m a Level 3 Personal Trainer and Sports Massage Therapist  who’s all about helping people smash their fitness goals and feel amazing. I specialize in strength training, endurance events, and functional fitness—especially helping women crush it with weights and confidence.

I’ve tackled two 100km ultramarathons, climbed a few mountains, and survived two Hyrox races (think fitness meets pure grit). Oh, and I’m slightly obsessed with Olympic weightlifting, which totally influences how I coach.

My mission? Show you how strength training isn’t just about muscles—it’s about boosting confidence and resilience. With science, support, and a sprinkle of fun, I’ll help you hit those goals and feel unstoppable!
