Ian Roberts
Barrie Stephen would like to welcome Ian Roberts, the newest member of the team! Here is a man with a no-nonsense approach to the need for achieving good health and getting fit, yet possessing a great sense of humour and an upbeat attitude to the business of how you get there.
With many years in the army teaching fitness and travelling to hard climates and enduring rough terrain tours of duty, Ian is made of stern stuff. He has been a senior or chief instructor for sports ranging from climbing, canoeing, caving and skiing to mountaineering and has represented Great Britain at Telemark skiing; Wales and the Combined Services at cyclo-cross; and the Army at triathlons and cycling. Phew! But there’s a softer side, too.
Ian’s specialities take in sports and remedial massage, injury rehabilitation, postural correction and low back pain management, while weight-training for the hard gainer, endurance and adventure sports, and nutrition and weight management are of particular interest. He clearly prefers to make you not break you!
Working today as an Advanced Personal Trainer, Ian’s mission is to ensure that his clients get a holistic, fitness-orientated service based upon the clients individual needs and goals. His programmes will often combine his sports therapy skills with fitness science knowledge, taking into account the clients mental, physical, emotional and social being. His emphasis is on helping clients gain the maximum benefit from time exercising by ensuring they only work on the principles of fitness related specifically to their own goals and needs.
Despite his serious take on the business of exercise, Ian is a great motivator and makes hard work fun and guarantees you’ll enjoy improvement at all levels.
