Main Cover Trainer – Tom
Tom is our main cover trainer. He steps in to keep sessions running smoothly across all Transformation HQ gyms whenever your usual head coach or trainer is away. You’ll see him popping up at all our locations, bringing his own energy to every session.
Cover Trainer – Danielle
Danielle is one of our newer coaches and a long-time Transformation HQ member who’s been through the full journey herself. She’s recently qualified through the THQ Personal Training Diploma and now steps in to cover sessions when needed, bringing calm energy, clear coaching, and real empathy for where members are at.
Admin - Gayle Hainsworth
Gayle first met Ryan back in 2013, joining as a client 1:1 for personal training. She was running her own business at the time and looking to branch out into administration. With a growth mindset and an eye for detail, she was a perfect fit for our team.
These days, Gayle handles bookings, member queries, reports, and the behind-the-scenes details that keep Transformation HQ running smoothly. She works remotely, so you might not always see her in person, but if you hear from her, you can be sure everything’s in safe hands.
