Meet Gareth, our SAS GYM personal trainer!
I’ve been in the fitness industry for over 20 years. My passion has always been around fitness since the age of 15 when I bought my first set of weights whilst still living at home with my parents.
I took up boxing at the age of 21 which was a huge game-changer for me. I competed at an amateur level and have coached white collar boxing sessions in later years. Boxing training not only improves physical fitness, it also improves brain function and health – in boxing, you are always learning.
I decided to qualify as a fitness instructor at 21 and have since achieved the qualifications below:
- OCR 2 in Teaching Exercise and Fitness
- OCR 2 in Gym Instruction
- OCR 2 in Teaching Circuit Training
- NVQ Level 2 Fitness Instructor
- Level 3 Advanced Personal Trainer
- Boxercise Instructor
- Mat Pilates Instructor
- Level 3 Sports Massage
- Weight Management and Nutrition Consultant
Today, I am still very passionate about strength training and believe everyone should do it as it’s one of the best ways to keep your body strong, healthy, stable and to help in later life. I love challenges, fitness and, most of all, I love working with people of all abilities and helping them progress to reach their fitness goals.
Fitness is my life – I love it!
Gareth Tattum
