Over the last 25 years in the fitness industry I’ve worked with every level of gym user imaginable. Having worked with international athletes to those who are terrified of the free weights, I’ve seen it all but the training ethos is the same for everyone “try do a little more than I did last time”.

I love training in the gym and want other people to feel the same way about using weights. The health benefits of weights are huge but the mental health benefits are even bigger.

The gym is just a big playground, lets play! You may be surprised what you can actually achieve.

I specialise in visible physique changes – muscle gain and fat loss – because training with intent and purpose not only boosts enjoyment but also helps build long-term consistency. Everyone deserves to see their hard work reflected in real, physical results. I believe that creating sustainable habits is the key to lasting change. 
 
As a coach, my goal is to remove the confusion around fitness and help you confidently apply the key principles of strength training – tailored to your lifestyle, preferences, and goals. My training style is based around helping you train with precision, purpose and intention in order to create and sculpt the body shape you want. 
 
Having studied nutrition, I can support you in aligning your diet according with your training and physique goals, without sacrificing health.
For those seeking more personalised, hands-on support, I also offer an online coaching service covering training, nutrition and lifestyle strategies, which can be run alongside personal training sessions.

My approach focuses on strength, flexibility and functional
movement. I’m aiming not only for fitness but also to support hormone balance through perimenopause, menopause and beyond.

As a mid-lifer myself I understand that many of us may be dealing with physical and/or health challenges. I will deliver a personalised programme adapted to your requirements that will enable you to achieve results through challenging you in the right way. Guidance on
nutrition, stress management and lifestyle adjustments also form an integral part of my approach.

My love for movement started 10years ago when I began practising Yoga. I was drawn to this practice as it helped me quieten my mind during a busy period in my life. This led me to go to India in 2017 and undertake a teacher training programme and where I lived for a period of time.

I returned to the UK in 2019 and since then became a full time Yoga teacher. I also began incorporating more movement disciplines into my routine, which led to me completing my Level 2 Fitness Instructor qualification.

I’m passionate about helping people feel more comfortable in their bodies and find joy in movement. I hope to continue expanding my knowledge and ensure that exercise is always accessible and inclusive.

I’m Martin Dockray, and I specialise in helping clients aged 40+. From my own experience, I know the challenges and barriers that you will face, but I’m here to show you that change is possible. Regular exercise with achievable goals improves your life so much – you become physically fitter, it improves your cardio capabilities, it strengthens the body and mentally it puts you in a far better place with the added bonus of increased self-confidence – it really is a ‘Win-Win’!!

I focus on setting realistic and achievable goals tailored to your personal needs. With determination and the right guidance, you’ll be amazed at what you can do. I’m here to help you break down the barriers and make you realise that age really is just a number!

During my adolescence I competed in numerous junior bodybuilding competitions which led me into becoming a Personal Trainer. As I’ve matured, my interests have developed and grown from pure body building into a passion for functional training, CrossFit and mobility.
 
My interests in health and wellbeing sparked my interest in Psychology which I’ve been studying over the last 5years. I like to apply a more holistic approach with my clients and help them reach their individual goals.
