Rob Hanrahan - Founder / Personal trainer and Movement coach.
Having worked for years in the City of London and sitting at a desk 5 days a week, fitness/training had always been the “other” part of my life. Coming from an athletic background, my love for fitness/sports was planted at an early age and just grew with me over time.
Fitting in my passion around a full-time job wasn’t easy. It meant either getting up 2 hours earlier and training before work, or training on the way home from work and going straight to bed when I got in. My days were consumed by the gym and work and left little time for other activities.
After realising that this was not how I wanted to live my life, I decided to take the plunge and turn my passion into my career. I spent too many years feeling trapped in jobs that gave me no satisfaction and knowing that they offered no future. I thought, why not focus on what inspires me, instead of working just to earn a living and putting what I truly loved second all the time?! I no longer wanted to ‘find time’ for my passion and decided to ‘make time’ for it instead.
So I took a risk. I made the decision to complete my Level 3 diploma in personal training with YMCA and have never looked back since…

Training Methods
Strength | Movement | Control
My training methods focus on real life movement patterns. The emphasis is on gaining greater control over your own body by focusing heavily on bodyweight exercises. A background in competitive sports; including Athletics (100m sprinting for England) Rugby, American football & Tennis, provides a comprehensive training style, adapted from a variety of different disciplines.
Workouts will burn fat, build lean muscle mass and improve stamina/endurance. But they will also improve mobility & control over your body, as well as developing agility/hand-eye coordination. We will work on unlocking the full range of human movement potential. We were not destined to be sat at a desk all day!!
