Marco Berta

Wellbeing Personal Trainer

How can I help you improve your health?

I practiced martial arts and different sports, including competitive body building, for several years. In addition, I am a qualified Sports Massage Therapist and a Clinical Weight Loss Practitioner. I have been personal training clients for over 20 years.

This has allowed me to accumulate considerable knowledge and experience on anatomy, nutrition and training methodology for sports performance, injury rehab, body transformation (weight loss and lean muscle gain), mobility and more!

My working approach is simple: I like to partner with my clients to help them achieve their goals within the shortest possible time.

My qualifications

  • Level 3 Personal Training (CIMSPA Registered)
  • Sports and Swedish Massage Therapist

What my Clients say:

"As an amateur triathlete, I suffered a tendonitis-type knee injury which was very painful and went on for three years, and I was still unable to train after several months of physiotherapy. I met Marco in the gym where I train and spoke to him about it, he carried out a quick assessment on the spot, and he pointed out what the main problem was. I was so impressed that I undertook a 12-week personal training program with him, Sure enough, 12 weeks later I am back training and happy to say pain-free. I found Marco a very honest and enthusiastic trainer with an excellent in-depth knowledge of what was wrong and how to fix it.

I will be keeping in touch with Marco and updating my maintenance training with him. I would wholeheartedly recommend personal training with Marco as you will definitely improve under his guidance" - Rod J

Conrad Croll

Wellbeing Personal Trainer

How can I help you improve your health?

As a personal trainer, I love to see people meeting their desired goal within the gym. Watching my clients transform not only their body, but also their mindset and confidence is my main aim.

To achieve this, I like to individualise each of my training programmes, specifically suited to each client’s ability and end goal. It is important for all my clients to build a good foundation and be able to move well when exercising. From this, we can start to develop the client’s desired body or performance goal.

I make each session for my client fun and engaging by trying to incorporate cardiovascular and resistance machines combined with functional training, utilising the free weights. This is to make sure my client is challenging their whole body and to keep each session exciting!

My qualifications

  • MSc Strength and Conditioning
  • BA (Hons) Physical Education
  • Level 3 Personal Training (CIMSPA Registered)

What my Clients say:

“Conrad has been training and creating strength and conditioning programmes for me for over a year now and I have been very happy with my results. Not only has he created fun and engaging programmes, but he has also been supportive throughout the entire process. He is constantly pushing me to be my best. I would recommend him to anyone looking to improve their performance or overall fitness.”- Nuffield Health Member. 

Rob Fedele

Wellbeing Personal Trainer

How can I help you improve your health?

As a personal trainer, I'm focused on simple principles of movement & nutrition which create the results you want. My experience means I understand quickly, how to adapt the training and nutritional behaviours for your ability that make it fun, interesting and always achievable.

I love focusing on the details within your exercise. This creates training sessions with the correct intensity and a consistent progression. The by-products of this are normally always fat loss, reduced pain, whole body strength and better energy.

It’s important for me to show you that your fitness doesn't need to be complicated. Our time together is for me to teach, build your belief, and inspire you to take complete charge of your health.

“Rob is an expert at achieving intensity in a session. Even when I doubted my ability, he knew what I was capable of and how to coax me into achieving it - training both the mental and physical skills needed to make lasting positive changes to your health and fitness. By teaching correct form, functionality and intensity, training with Rob absolutely maximises your time spent working out. Plus, it’s a joy! I couldn’t recommend him more.” - Eric

Frances Murphy

Wellbeing Personal Trainer

How can I help you improve your health?

I love helping people improve their relationship with exercise & the way they feel about themselves, both mentally & physically.

After being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease in my early 20s that affected my joints, fitness became a huge part of improving my lifestyle.

The gym was the first thing that taught me discipline & showed me that being consistent resulted in massive physical & mental changes within myself.

I use my own reformed gym success to help clients build up confidence and faith that things can change, by helping them reach their desired goals, via individualised training programmes, motivation & support within and out of the gym, with my client’s goals & needs at the forefront of everything.

Whether it be weight management, lean muscle gain or elevated fitness levels, training with me will help you reach your full potential. Feel free to chat with me or ask for ‘Fran’ when you come in!

My qualifications

  • Level 3 Personal Training (CIMSPA Registered)

What my Clients say:

 "I have been training with Frances for over a year now. Throughout my journey with her she has developed different strength and conditioning programmes specifically suited to me and my progress. Not only have I been supported with my physical strength but her dedication to help me progress and be consistent has also improved my mental health. She has created a safe, encouraging environment where I now look forward to going to train. I recommend her for anyone looking to improve strength/overall fitness and grow confidence in the gym.” - Nuffield Health Member.
