My name is Adam, and I’m the founder of ELEVATE.
I’ve been a personal trainer and fitness coach for over two decades, delivering thousands of hours of in-gym coaching during that time.
Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide range of clients — from footballers and athletes to various sports teams — helping them move, perform, and feel their best.
Football has always been my passion, like many of your children, it was all I ever wanted to do growing up.
Unfortunately, injury cut my playing days short — but that experience inspired me to ensure my son and the young footballers I coach develop into strong, athletic, and resilient players.
Through ELEVATE, I bring together my expertise in Youth Strength & Conditioning and my experience as a football coach to create training programmes that build faster, more skilful, and more confident footballers.
My mission is simple — to deliver fun, effective, and engaging sessions that every player looks forward to each week.

My name is Gary, and I’m a coach at ELEVATE.
I’m a passionate and experienced football coach with over three decades in the game — both as a player and as a coach.
I gained my coaching qualification more than 20 years ago and have been dedicated to developing young players ever since.
Like many, my football journey began at a young age and quickly progressed to an elite level.
Between the ages of 10 and 15, I was signed to Millwall Football Club, where I had the privilege of being coached at the highest standard.
These experiences gave me a deep understanding of the technical, tactical, and physical demands of the game.
As an adult, I continued to play at a high level and worked under some outstanding coaches, further fuelling my passion for the sport.
I currently coach a local grassroots team — an incredibly rewarding experience that allows me to stay connected to player development at every stage.
I’m an energetic and enthusiastic coach who values attention to detail.
My approach is rooted in my own playing experience — focusing on developing young talent, building confidence, and instilling discipline both on and off the pitch.
Since meeting Adam in 2024, I’ve been inspired by his vision for ELEVATE and am excited to be part of a programme that truly offers something different for young footballers.
As a coach at ELEVATE, my goal is to create fun, engaging, and challenging sessions that help nurture the next generation of talent and provide an environment where players can thrive.
