Fraser Jones
Co-Founder & Coach

Hi, I’m Fraser, Strength training has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’m passionate about the outdoors and ensure that my training enables me to function in everything I do outside the gym! From kayaking to climbing mountains, trail runs to long distance treks. Fitness should be accessible to everyone, and should enable us to live long, strong lives. No matter what age we start!
