Introducing… Hanley Dawson, Personal Trainer and Health Coach

Introducing our new Personal Trainer and Health Coach, Hanley Dawson. 23 year old Hanley has five years of experience in helping people to reach their health and fitness goals so we are very happy to have him as part of the team in our award-winning spa and gym.

With a degree in Sports Strength and Conditioning from the University of Gloucester, Hanley has been providing personal training services to a range of clients over the years, including professional athletes and Paralympians. In his spare time, Hanley plays semi-professional rugby for Workington Town RLFC, for which we are proud to sponsor him, continuing a lifelong passion for sport and fitness.

We spoke to Hanley about his views on health and fitness and what he’s hoping to bring to his new role. Hanley said that people who have the best results from training are those who are consistent. He said that the best results come from “Someone showing up at regular intervals to take action. That and the right mindset to want to change.”

Hanley had some top tips for people looking to improve their fitness and he shared them with us.

• Set small achievable goals and find a way of celebrating each one. It’s the little steps that get you there.
• Use past experiences to keep you motivated such as looking at a past picture of yourself that you weren’t happy with or remembering something you weren’t able to do with the family due to your lack of fitness.
• Take action and simply give it a go. While you can have the best intentions, nothing changes until you take action.

We think this is all invaluable advice that any of our spa and gym members or guests should pay attention to. Hanley’s views align with our gym’s focus on regeneration and rehabilitation, as well as society’s generally increasing health consciousness.

We are very happy to have Hanley joining the spa team. His dedication to training and nutrition and his passion for helping people to improve their health and fitness is inspiring and exactly the type of attitude we value at Armathwaite.
