“Work hard, play hard and do both to a banging playlist”
Will McLaren
Coach, Personal Trainer, Former Royal Marine and Founder of @UK_Bootnecks
Will is fun but savage in his coaching and a master of devising heavy circuits that both work your engine and burn your muscles to your capacity. A Royal Marine Commando in a previous life, he knows discipline, drive and commitment all too well and like us, believes training has the capacity to change people’s lives.

Sandy Rivera- Hide You
WHAT DOES IT TAKE?
Failures. That’s what it has taken to get to where I am today. That’s when you really know what sort of person you are. You can either grow failure or shy away.

Meduza - Piece of me
WHAT DOES IT TAKE?
So much sacrifice, countless early nights so you can train harder or teach just that bit stronger. Eating well to keep your body in shape and healthy for you to teach 3 sessions a day. It takes a huge amount of GRIT, strength of character and passion to persist. To ignore the haters or the naysayers. Having self-belief in yourself and what your message is.

Ash found a second career in fitness as a result or searching for a cure for a niggling shoulder injury of his own, once healed, he wanted to share the knowledge he’d learned on his journey to recovery, with a goal of educating as many people as possible on the fundamentals and merits of movement based treatment and training functionally.

Breathe - Prodigy
WHAT DOES IT TAKE?
The willingness to give it a go, even when you don’t have all the answers. If you're unsure about a decision, just ask "what's the worst that could happen?" - usually the realistic worst-case scenario is nowhere near as bad as it feels, which is comforting if you feel like you're taking a big risk.

"Nothing Happens Until Something Moves"
Danielle Willemsen
Movement and mobility master, yoga teacher, calisthenics enthusiast.
As a former dancer, Danielle’s mission is to inspire others to be as passionate about movement as she is. Moving without pain, with purpose, strength and grace. Her sequences flow but she remains obsessive about correct bio-mechanical movement thanks to her extensive reformer and mat Pilates studies and training, dance qualifications and academic background. Her mantra is ‘Nothing Happens Until Something Moves’.
WHAT DOES IT TAKE?
Always reaching for the edge of my potential, and doing so by staying in love with change and the continual fall and try again process of learning.
