Louis Tucker
Personal Trainer
Hi, I’m Louis – Personal Trainer and Fitness Instructor here at BS7!
My journey into fitness began about 10 years ago with a work-related shoulder issue. Little did I know it would spark a complete transformation—both physically and mentally. The more I learned, and the more variety I added to my workouts, the better I felt. That passion for movement and growth is what eventually led me to a career in fitness.
I’m all about creating a welcoming, upbeat space where people feel good moving and grooving. Everyone’s different, and whether you’re following a plan, smashing out classes, or just starting your fitness journey, I’m always up for a chat about what you’re working on, what motivates you, and how I can support your goals.

Abdi Mirreh
Personal Trainer
Hi, I’m Abdi.
I’m passionate about helping people start, return to, or level up their fitness journey in a supportive and welcoming environment. Whether you’re completely new to training, coming back after time away, or already experienced, my goal is to help you feel confident, capable, and motivated every step of the way.
My inspiration for fitness comes from seeing how building strength can transform not just the body, but mindset and self-belief. I specialise in muscle strength and endurance, creating structured, realistic training that challenges you while meeting you where you are.
I’m also currently studying towards my Level 4 Nutrition qualification, which I’m on track to complete with a diploma by the end of the summer. This allows me to continue expanding my knowledge so I can better support clients with both training and nutrition guidance.

Will Brooks
Front of House Manager
As the Front of House Manager at BS7 Gym, I am here to support you with all things relating to your membership and overall experience.
If you have any questions or need help with anything at all, please feel free to ask me anytime!
I am greatly passionate about health and fitness, with over 10 years of experience in gym training, particularly in strength and bodybuilding.
I love sharing my enthusiasm with others, whether it’s through offering workout tips or providing motivation. One of my favourite things is seeing others progress and get
closer to their goals, both in and outside of the gym.
When I’m not at the front desk, you can usually find me working out, see you on the gym floor!

Nick Banks
Personal Trainer
With plenty of experience in fat loss and physique development, I am here to help you navigate today’s confusing fitness landscape to the destination you’ve always strived for.
With over ten years of training under my belt, I have gained extracurricular knowledge in fitness and client psychology from mentors around the world. Today, all of that is backed by a Level 2 & 3 PT qualification, with many more feathers in my cap yet to come.
After a freak medical incident nearly took my life, I am more driven than ever to deliver quality coaching to those who need it. It was my strong heart from a gym lifestyle that saved my life so I see training you as potentially saving your life in the future!
Losing your fire in your fitness journey? That’s exactly when we should speak to a professional. Let’s see how I can help. If you haven’t already, take advantage of our one-off free 1-1 PT session and put me to the test.

Paddy Heath
Personal Trainer
I joined BS7 Gym in 2018 when I was 17 years old which is where my passion for training was born. This passion gave me confidence, direction, lifelong friendships, and took me around the world.
In the pursuit of a career in fitness, I spent the last 3 years in London completing a degree in Strength and Conditioning Science, qualifying me to train athletes in professional sports. I’ve had the privilege of working at professional clubs such as Chelsea F.C and London-Scottish F.C, as well as a host of amateur sports teams.
My new role at BS7 Gym means I get the opportunity to apply the expertise I learnt from sports science experts to a community that I have grown up with and genuinely care about. My aim is primarily to help people reach their goals in the most efficient manner possible utilizing evidence-based training techniques. But also, to help people build a love for training and a positive relationship with the gym that may not have been there before.
I love training for sports and specific goals and have completed challenges like ultramarathons and Ironman triathlons. Come and find me for a chat if you want a hand in achieving your own fitness goals!

Kitty Douglas
Personal Trainer
Coming from a background of performance and dancing, I have always loved to move my body. Depending on my mood, that can change from lifting heavy weights to jumping on boxes to sprinting to disco music. I love to mix up my training styles, not only to keep it fun and interesting but also to challenge my body and see what it’s capable of. I believe this encourages a whole-body approach to fitness and helps make it a part of your lifestyle which you enjoy, not something begrudgingly done at the end of the work day.
My own fitness journey has shown me there’s no one approach to getting fit; our attitudes and bodies change, and we should embrace that. Building strength and stamina is so important as we age, as well as simply feeling good and empowered in our bodies day-to-day. So whether your goal is to get stronger, improve mobility or simply feel better in your body, I want to help you push past your limits and find the joy in movement.
