Coach Wilko

Coach Wilko Enjoy what you do & you'll do it again. We help you do this to your training, eating & general lifestyle!

Looking specifically at what an athlete needs in training is critical; these needs must be constantly accessed and kept in sight through-out all training sessions to increase overall gains. By coach and athlete working together in monitoring performance objectives such as weight loss, muscle gain or sporting performance, gains can be highlighted positively and reinforce all the efforts everyone has gone through to improve. My knowledge towards nutrition is forever growing and with 80% of your gains coming from what goes into your system it’s vitally important to get it right whilst still enjoying what you’re eating.

Arnold Fitness Games 2027… Here we go! 🔥

Fourth time chasing this one. Twice I’ve missed qualification by ONE point, once I made it and without a doubt, it’s still my favourite competition to go after.

Three stages of qualifying. Four big months of work ahead. Training, recovery, nutrition and mindset all getting dialled right in.

January qualifiers… let’s get 2027 started with a bang. 💥 Time to earn it. 💪🏻

Wednesday = class day 🔥

Youth at 16:15. Adults at 18:00.
Come down, work hard, have a laugh and leave feeling better than when you walked in. The best hour of your day.

You’ll never push yourself as hard as your coach will.

Good coaching isn’t about destroying you every session.
It’s about knowing when to push, when to support and how to get that little bit more out of you than you’d probably manage on your own.

I want Wilko’s Gym to be tough, motivating and challenging but also somewhere you genuinely look forward to training every week.

Laugh. Graft. Learn new skills. Get fitter. Get stronger. Achieve things you didn’t think you could.

That’s the power of having a coach and a community around you and why I’ll always aim to give you the best hour of your day.

Want to give it a go? Message me to book a 1-2-1 session or jump into one of the weekly classes at Wilko’s Gym.

Another quality youth session at Wilko’s Gym 2.0!

Learning new skills, building confidence and creating fitness they can use for a lifetime.

Dumbbell thrusters, sled pushes and sprints music pumping, everyone moving and most importantly, enjoying the graft!

Strong bodies, confident kids and positive habits. That’s what these sessions are all about.

From a chance meeting in Turkey to 13.1 miles 🏃‍♂️ 💪🏻

I met Shaun on holiday in Turkey back in 2024. He was already in decent shape, but wanted more structure, better fitness and something positive for himself. With online coaching, MyFitnessPal, Strava and a progressive running programme, he simply got his head down and put the work in.

A few kilometres became quicker kilometres. Strava PBs started dropping. Confidence grew. Then came the big one we been focusing on a HALF MARATHON! 13.1 miles in the bank. Stronger, fitter, leaner and mentally tougher, with more energy for family life and football season. Hard work pays off.

Shaun is an absolute quality bloke who I’m privileged to call both a client and a friend. Super proud of what he’s achieved and even better, he’s got the bug now, so we’re not finished yet! Proof that even when we can’t train face-to-face, there’s always a way.
Well played, mate! 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻

I wanna make my sons proud.

Make them laugh. Build their confidence. Teach them skills. And keep up with them for as long as I possibly can.

At 41 this year, I genuinely feel the fittest and strongest I’ve ever been.

Balancing coaching, training, family and life isn’t always easy, but hard work pays off and if I’m going to teach my boys that, I have to be an example of it.

There’s nothing worse than saying, “Do as I say, not as I do.”

If something is really that important… do it yourself.
Lead from the front.

Hopefully one day they’ll look back and remember Dad didn’t just talk about it. He lived it.

Here’s to the next 4months…
I’m always training towards something.
I love having a target, staying focused and chasing that buzz.

Nervously excited in the build-up, knowing that when the big day comes, I get to showcase all the hard work nobody sees.

These challenges are bookmarks in my life. A chance to look back and remind myself how fit, strong, tough and dedicated I was and how willing I was to get comfortable being uncomfortable.

Get the right people around you, dial into a goal and enjoy the journey.

There aren’t many better feelings than waking up with purpose and discovering potential you didn’t even know you had.
