Qualified Coach Specialising in Muay Thai, Strength and Conditioning & Fat Loss

Jack is a qualified coach specialising in Muay Thai, Strength and Conditioning and Fat Loss.

Combining his background as a qualified Personal Trainer with nearly a decade of Muay Thai experience, he delivers personalised coaching tailored to each client’s needs.

Whether the goal is to lose weight, build strength, improve fitness, learn self-defence, or refine striking skills, his sessions are designed to be supportive, challenging, and results-driven. Having recently returned to Bishop’s Stortford, he is passionate about giving back to the local community by helping people discover the physical and mental benefits of martial arts and fitness.

Ruby

Personal Trainer & Strength and Conditioning Coach

As part of our team, we’re proud to have Ruby leading our Strength & Conditioning programme.

Ruby’s fitness journey began six years ago when she made a decision to lose over 3 stone after being overweight as a teenager. Through dedication, consistency, and hard work, she completely transformed her lifestyle and discovered a passion for fitness that has never left her. She also boxed for 4 years from the age of 7!

Having experienced her own transformation, she decided 2 years ago to make it her career and become a PT. Ruby knows first-hand how life-changing fitness can be. She has since helped a number of women become stronger, build confidence, and leave every session feeling empowered and proud of what they’ve achieved.

What sets Ruby apart is that this isn’t just a hobby — it’s her passion. She’s passionate about helping others achieve what she did, creating a supportive environment where everyone feels encouraged to succeed, and helping people make fitness a part of their daily lives for good.

With Ruby, you’ll always feel comfortable, welcomed, and supported from the moment you walk through the door. She believes everyone deserves to train in a positive, judgement-free environment where they can grow in confidence and enjoy the process. Whether you’re stepping into the gym for the very first time or looking to take your training to the next level, Ruby is committed to supporting you every step of the way with encouragement, knowledge, and genuine care.

We’re excited for you to meet Coach Ruby and experience the positive impact she’ll have on your fitness journey.
