Hi! I’m Julia! I own the only private PT studio in Cambridge known as Lift Fitness.

I’m also a PT running my business in the same gym right alongside the rest of the team, so I’m able to make first hand adjustments to the space to make it the best place in Cambridge for PT’s to train their clients.

My focus as a PT is mainly on building strength and confidence in my clients. This includes body positivity, a strong (and sustainable!) mindset, and finding ways to make health and fitness actually enjoyable and fun for everyone.

My focus as a gym owner is the same - creating a space where everyone is invited to participate in becoming healthy and fit- in whatever way that suits them best!

I love the diverse specialities we have of each PT in my gym- from Hyrox, to CrossFit, gymnastics, powerlifting, boxing, olympic lifting, runners, strongman, calisthenics, rehab specialists, the list goes on…

I know that health and fitness is never a “one size fits all” thing, and our diverse PT’s and clientele reflect exactly that ethos.

So, if you’re a PT, (or a person just looking to be a bit healthier), give us a shout and come by and have some fun!

Hi everyone, I’m Nathan, I have been a runner for over 5 years, and have recently started to dabble in the world of triathlon, both as a marshal and a triathlete. I come from an education background, so have worked with a wide range of people, including those with additional needs. 

Coming from the world of running, I know how important it is to have someone on your side who understands the highs and lows of running, and have experienced most of the benefits running has to offer. 

Knowing how important it is to give back to the running community, I became a running coach a couple of years ago to help support the behind the scenes work that runners often forget or neglect. 

I would love to see more inclusivity in sport for those with additional needs, and feel that my years in education working alongside these amazing people sets me apart to help them alongside everyone else be a healthier version of themselves. I understand that every person has their own fitness goals and journey, and a one size fits all approach doesn’t work as well as the tailored approach offered from a dedicated personal trainer.

Hi! I'm Phil, I have a varied background from my time in the military, doing cross country running and competing for the navy, to then swapping to olympic weightlifting and competing for the navy.

 Throughout that I have honed my skills as a PT specialising in strength and conditioning work. I love the process of getting people stronger safer. 

If you have goals you want to hit, get in touch and we'll have a chat!

Hi, I’m James — a UKSCA-accredited Strength & Conditioning Coach with 18 years of experience in personal training.

I hold a degree in Psychology from the University of the West of England, where I specialised in sport and exercise psychology.

Following my studies, I spent five years at the university working as a Personal Trainer and Strength & Conditioning Coach.

For the past 11 years, I’ve been a Fitness Coach at the University of Cambridge, where I’ve worked with a wide range of university sports teams and performance athletes. I’ve had the privilege of coaching many international, Paralympic, and Olympic-level athletes across a variety of sports, including athletics, fencing, and climbing.

In addition to performance coaching, I have extensive experience in exercise referral. As the university’s GP Referral Coordinator, I worked closely with individuals and groups managing a broad spectrum of injuries and medical conditions.

Hi I’m Eddie! I’ve been a PT for over 13 years. My main focus is helping people find direction with their exercise, diet, and lifestyle, to make positive progress towards their goal.

It’s rewarding to open up someone’s potential for movement so I particularly enjoy working with people who feel limited by their age or ability.

I believe we can all feel better with a consistent exercise routine and have heard countless reports from clients feeling stronger and more confident in their body. It’s a joy to help people feel that way!

Hi! I'm Sam! My fitness journey began with an intense dedication to martial arts, training in karate from the age of 5 before transitioning into Muay Thai, MMA, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, where I trained daily while working full-time. 

At 20, I left my job to pursue professional training in Thailand, but a serious hip injury requiring surgery forced me to rethink my path. During my rehabilitation, I discovered meditation, yoga, and barbell training, becoming a yoga instructor in 2018 and later earning advanced certifications in barbell and kettlebell coaching.

Now, I specialise in combining functional strength training, mobility work, and mindset coaching to help people of all backgrounds build strength, resilience, and balance. My tailored, sustainable approach empowers clients to overcome challenges, unlock their potential, and thrive in both body and mind.

The combination has helped my clients restore and maintain mobility, develop functional strength, improve performance, build muscle, and shed unwanted pounds.​ My purpose as a coach is to empower you to take ownership of your health and wellness so you feel younger now and just as strong in 20 years.

After 10 years of military service in the Texas Army National Guard, I decided to settle in the UK and continued my journey as a fitness professional. I served in the Signal Corps, and I sought ways to address the occupational demands of part-time Service Members: time-poor, desk-bound, physical stress, and mental load. For those working in IT, manual labour, or research roles, I understand your challenges. During those years, I studied fitness systems that are time efficient, release restriction, increase strength, and elevate performance. Whether your goal is a healthy body, lean physique, or simply to have more energy for what you love, I provide guidance and a personalized strategy to get you there.
