Meet Body Smart Coach Gav

Written by Gemma Ray | Thursday 9th Dec 2021 |

Gav has always had huge interest for health and fitness, playing football for professional teams growing up, to then becoming a football coach. Gav soon realised that his passion was helping others and this is what lead him into becoming a Certified Personal Trainer which he has now been for over 10 years.

Gav spent some time studying Sports Science at Strathclyde University in Glasgow. At university Gav gained a number of certifications, some of them being in coaching athletes, coaching powerlifters, pre/ post natal fitness and learning advanced nutrition principles.

When not coaching, you will find Gav enjoying or playing all things football as well as many other sports. Taking a break from kicking a ball, Gav also enjoys music, travelling and getting outside with his partner, Jen, and dog, Kobe.

He continues to be fiercely passionate when it comes to helping people saying, ” I work with clients to improve all areas of their fitness, nutrition and mostly mindset.” Gav understands that life is busy and stressful but enjoys working through challenges to help clients get sustainable results.

When asked about his coaching style Gav said, “I am a supportive coach and enjoy motivating others to #cutthebs. I educate by telling people what they need to hear not necessarily what they want to hear”.
