Hugh Spencer

From a young age I always had a passion for sports. I’d give anything a go but grew up playing rugby and football alongside mountain biking in the hills of Rossendale. I still play touch rugby with Manchester Foxes and have represented the North West for the mixed open team at touch rugby nationals. I train 4-5 times a week, with my training focus being getting stronger and ‘bulletproofing’ my body to improve sports performance.

I have over 5 years’ experience as a coach/personal trainer and have worked with a wide range of people of different ages and training experience. From helping gym members get stronger and achieve their fitness goals to improving sports performance of youth and senior athletes (Sale Sharks, Burnley FC, Manchester City Academy).

Through a BSc in sport and exercise science and an MSc in Strength & Conditioning, I have gained a detailed understanding of the human body and the way it reacts to different modes of training. My coaching philosophy is to educate my clients and improve their understanding of their body while having fun. The best form of training is the one you enjoy and will stick to!

BSc Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation Sciences
MSc Strength & Conditioning (Ongoing)
