The She-E-O
The audacious brains behind the SKPT brand- Sarah is the founder of the authentic lifestyle and fitness empire. After working in a number of mainstream gym chains, she decided to create a safe place for women to train that promoted healthy minds and healthy lifestyles- not just a healthy love for the gym! Her work with clients goes above and beyond what you would typically receive from a Personal Trainer, extending her support to really centre female empowerment.

● Level 3 Personal Training
Teaching clients the methods behind the moves by incorporating lessons in physiology into each session. Sarah loves to arm clients with knowledge, so they are confident with technique whether they’re working with her 1-1, or training in a group. Above all, Sarah enjoys watching clients’ passion for fitness grow and seeing them transition mentally not just physically feeling better in themselves. She says; ‘It’s not just about the success of the business, I genuinely care, my intensions are pure & have been since day one… I only want the people that want it… the ones ready to do the work!’.

The Motivator
Laura is known at SKPT as ‘The Motivator’. You think you know your limits? You haven’t seen anything yet! With a 4th Dan black belt in Ju Jitsu, Laura values nothing more than hard-work and discipline. She knows that nothing worth having comes easy and says, ‘There is no greater feeling than watching the amazing transformations of clients, into fearless, go- getters after a 6- week changer course’.

The drive and the energy she gives to every client, in every session! She says, ‘I’ve had clients walk in shaking before, with fear about what’s coming. People that walk in with no confidence and crying, but leave happy and in a damn better place than where they started. I like watching people grow, it will be the best decision you ever make!’.
‘You’ve gotta push yourself!’
The Brother
Growing up in Oldham, Greater Manchester, James’ first loves were football and boxing legends, (namely Prince Naseem and Mike Tyson). Becoming a fan of the technical styles and showmanship of both boxing greats, led him to pursue his own boxing education. Having graduated from the Hatton Academy, you can be sure James will put you through your paces. Infact, it’s a guarantee during a session with ‘The Muscle’, but he says; ‘Remember, boxing is as much about physical prowess as your state of mind. Time to get the gloves on!’.

When you come into SKPT, what you get in that session goes beyond the training. James says: ‘Everyone’s different. I want to understand you and your life goals so I can help. People’s barriers to fitness go beyond physically being able to do something; it’s often about helping you to overcome your mental blocks. I will be there to help you with anything I can. Yes, you will learn about offence and defence, but I hope to bring you out of your shell as well!’.
‘Life is too short for negativity, stay positive.’
THE GROWTH COACH
Liam’s life experience has left him bouncing back from adversity more than once. His ability to overcome situations that would make others falter means he quickly adapts to the pace and needs of his clients. His position in the SKPT family as the ‘growth coach’ is down to his positive outlook and mindset. As the saying goes “grow through what you go through”. With a positive approach and ‘can-do’ attitude, any session you have with Liam will leave you feeling lighter, brighter and going for goals you didn’t even know you had!

Liam’s focus and attention to detail when teaching, prioritising the goals and motivations members share with him is his speciality. He says “It's nice to be in their comfort zone. People’s focus is what I listen to, adapting and tending to their needs. We’re able to provide an outlet for the members to hone in on what they want to achieve and help them reach their goals”.
