THESE THINGS DON'T JUST HAPPEN
MY WHY
It took me many years of working a job I didn't like, in a lifestyle I didn't want and having a mindset that left me feeling like something wasn't right, to take action to work on myself and eventually realise how great life can be! After years of searching and exploring I realised that there's so much untapped potential to living a happier, healthier life and to be able to enjoy it to its fullest that we very often miss.
It took a lot of learning, practicing, failing and re-trying to get to a new place.
Now coaching allows me to help others achieve this much faster and more easily than I did, and unlock the potential for enjoying life to its fullest, feeling confident and finding out what they're really capable of. That's my 'WHY'; to help others reach levels of health, fitness, balance and happiness they never even realised they were capable of!

OUR COMMUNITY
TESTIMONIALS
Don't just take our word for it. Hear it from the team.
I have been training with Seb and the Tough Cookie team for nearly a year. I can see the physical and mental improvements this training has helped me gain. I have joined a very supportive team who encourage each other to be their best selves. I have learnt so much around fitness, nutrition and general wellbeing. Seb is a motivational and calm coach, he is very supportive and adapts the training to your needs . I would highly recommend joining the team as I have not found any other like this.

I’ve recently joined this gym on a trial. I’ve wanted to join for a little while but I was a bit anxious as I’ve not done anything similar. On my first session the owners Seb and Jen showed me round the gym, introduced me to the others doing a session and talked me through different skills/exercises at my pace. It was so rewarding, at first I couldn’t get my head round a specific movement, however, Seb took me through it step by step and by the end of the session I felt like I’d progressed significantly. I was absolutely buzzing. The others in the small group gave me encouragement too, it’s such a nice community.
I then attended one of the weekend Sweat classes which is a larger class. Again everyone was so friendly, supportive and at no point did I feel overwhelmed. At the end some people stayed for a coffee/chat, unfortunately I had to leave as I had a family event, however, Seb messaged me that evening just to see how I found the class which I thought was a really nice touch.
I’d recommend this gym to anybody. The support and guidance is brilliant, I wish I’d joined sooner.

Seb is a great PT and coach. I have been training with him for over three years and cannot recommend him enough. Tough Cookie Training is not only his business but also his passion. Seb invests time in his own development and it shows in the way he manages his business and training programmes. I would recommend Seb to anyone who looks to improve not only their physical ability but also mindset and focus on setting and achieving goals. Seb created a great training community so no one is a stranger to other people training with Seb. Seb's decision to start small group PT was a game changer for all of us who train with him - it is great to do PT training alongside other people -and learn from them as well as from Seb.
