Meet Graeme – Founder of GB1fitness

I’m Graeme founder of GB1fitness.

After 30 years in retail, including 25 as a branch manager, I knew it was time for a change.

In Spring 2021, GB1fitness was born.

Started with zero members.

Three weeks of classes with zero bookings.

Then one booking. Then another.

Momentum built.

The GB1fitness Philosophy

Progress over Perfection.

We don't chase quick fixes. We build habits that last.

Real people. Real coaching.

Small groups, clear guidance, no judgement.

Consistency beats motivation.

You don't need to feel ready. You just need to show up.

Strong for life.

Strength, fitness and confidence that supports your actual life, not a 6-week sprint.

I’m an avid runner and strength training advocate.

5k PB: 18:20

Half Marathon PB: 1:26

16 years running sub-20 for 5k

These days, my focus is longevity. Staying strong, capable and healthy for the long term.

Real Struggles, Real Life

I may be a coach and a runner, but I'm a human first.

During my time in retail, I struggled with stress and anxiety to the point I was off work for a month.

These days, my biggest personal challenge is nutrition and weight management. It's mental battle I don't always win.

That's why I don't believe in perfection. I believe in consistency, learning and showing up even when it's not easy.

If you want to train with a coach who understands real life, not just reps and sets, you're in the right place.
