Coach

Personal Trainer, Fitness Coach & Gym Owner.

Hi there! I’m Dave Holmes, a Personal Trainer and ex-RAF Aircraft Engineer of 25 years, with a passion for health & fitness.

Since joining my local Gym in Middlesbrough at the age of 16 years old, I discovered I had a keen interest in building my strength & fitness to develop self-confidence and resilience, by training hard to look & feel good in myself & my abilities. Gaining sports and fitness experience, the military provided me with a drive & determination to follow my passion for fitness and achieve many qualifications, allowing me to pass on these skills to my family, friends & colleagues.

My aim is to provide a successful Gym & Fitness business, to help individuals start or continue their fitness journey, to build self-confidence, strength & endurance. Whether a novice or advanced trainer, I want to give every client the opportunity to achieve their fitness goals safely & naturally, to develop physical & mental strength & power, by utilising my knowledge & skill as a coach & mentor.  

I also find great reward in teaching group fitness classes, where I see vast improvements in individuals week after week. I love making classes fun, diverse & engaging for ALL abilities, so clients always feel a sense of achievement & walk away with a smile on their face.
