The Team

Jennifer (Jen)

Hi I’m Jen (aka Ginge) and I’m the owner and general dogsbody at G4.

I’ve always been interested in health and fitness having joined a gym in my birth-town of Stoke when I was 15 years old. I soon realised that time spent in the gym made me happy and a much nicer person to live with so I’ve stuck with it ever since!

I am irritatingly passionate about being “fit for life”. I’m not interested in competitive training or anything like that - I just want to be able to carry my own suitcases, put my socks on without sitting down and live pain-free for as long as I can.

I am always studying something and have amassed quite a few different qualifications and certifications along the way thanks to my insatiable thirst for knowledge.

Level 2 Exercise to Music, Level 2 Gym Instructor, Indoor Cycling Certificate, Level 3 Personal Training, Level 3 Pre & Post Natal Exercise, Level GP Referral (now called Exercise Referral), Level 4 Advanced Nutrition, Level 4 Lower Back Pain Management, Level 4 Obesity and Weight Management, Cancer Exercise Specialist – CETI, MenoStrength and MenoHealth certified, British Weightlifting Coach, Advanced Diploma in Counselling (Integrative) – BACP

Jack

Integrated therapist and master trainer. I’ve done all sorts of therapy and fitness courses over the years and been active and sporty all my life. I enjoy a more functional style of fitness training, running, jumping, climbing, kickboxing and more specifically… parkour. Life is too serious at times ! And I like to bring humour into my gym sessions. Top tip …'move to cure' and 'eat to heal' and you won't go far wrong.

James

I’ve been working at G4 since I was 15 but I’ve been around the gym and using it for a lot longer because my mum owns it so it’s almost a way of life for me and I can’t imagine doing anything else! I’m currently working towards my gym qualifications in order to become a personal trainer and start taking classes. I love meeting and chatting to all our members and helping them to learn more about the gym, build their confidence and I really like to help people with gym anxiety to overcome it and start to enjoy the benefits of fitness.

Lucy

I LOVE exercise to music, if it’s got a beat we are moving to it! I love choreographing routines and helping people learn them and watching them grow in confidence, I teach step, kettlebells and spin at G4 and also work with older adults living with health conditions.

I am qualified in L2 exercise to music, L3 kids fitness, L3 outdoor fitness, L3 exercise referral, L4 cardiac rehab and L4 Postural Stability and am still learning more!

I love to teach and see people grow in ability and confidence, there is no better feeling!
