Connor Goodsall – Guildford
I work with people who lack confidence in the gym or have injuries which are holding them back, I understand how it felt to not be confident in what I’m doing whether it is through an injury or being unsure on what to do.

When I first started my fitness journey, it was very inconsistent, I would do random workouts, which lasted far too long (I had the time as I was a student studying a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Sport), I developed poor nutritional habits and overall wasn’t getting the results I was hoping for.

Having competed in National Level Cross Country, Powerlifting and put on a significant amount of muscle from when I started with 7 years’ experience training clients as a Personal Trainer I have obtained the skills and knowledge to help you succeed – I’m currently training for a sub-20-minute 5km run!

I have worked with many people with knee issues and lower back pain and helped them to improve it through a mixture of mobility work and strength training whilst achieving physical results through a mix of in person sessions and coaching outside of sessions to help with habit building and nutritional guidance.

Hear from some of the people who have been trained by Connor-

Keerti- Training with Connor has been a life changing experience for someone like me who had never played sport nor pursued fitness till the age of 40.

Not only do our sessions help me become stronger and fitter, but I have also started to appreciate the fitness journey rather than obsessing about the goal alone.

He is exceptional at driving both motivation and discipline when your mind is struggling to act. First class trainer highly recommended for just about anyone at any age.

Sharon – Connor is a great coach. He adapted the workouts to my needs and was conscious of the safety of the exercises as well as encouraging me to progress in reps and weight. He gave me my confidence back in the gym!

Peter – I found Connor’s approach to the training excellent and the use of the apps and tech really made everything seamless. He wrote an ideal program for me and helped me get to grips with all the weight machines etc.

Dan Saunders – Havant and Waterlooville

One of the reasons I decided to become a Personal Trainer was to help other people like me, who haven’t always been into fitness. Those that can feel overwhelmed by the gym and want to know they are using the gym safely and correctly.

Having now been a coach for 9 years, guiding people through their fitness journey to reach their goals. Whether that’s building confidence through being stronger, understanding how to balance lives and fitness or enjoying showing up and getting better.

I want to help you set goals and focus on what you can do to achieve them.

Diana Badrakhan – Guildford

I grew up in a family which believed sports is about building personality and discipline. Started my sports journey as a toddler, I played gymnastics at a competitive level for 12 years. Working out and staying healthy became incremental part of my life after I became a mother, my relationship with the gym changed my mentality entirely. I understand the unique challenges of balancing life, fitness, and self-care because I’ve lived them. My passion for fitness goes beyond physical transformation, it’s about helping others unlock strength, mobility, and confidence to thrive in every aspect of their lives.

Rooted in my expertise in mobility, calisthenics, strength training, and mental resilience, my approach prioritises practical, functional movement that improves how you feel and live daily.

I believe fitness is about balance – indulging in life’s treats, fuelling your body with whole ingredients, and staying focused on real, measurable progress resulting in long term results and better life.

Lewis Walkinshaw – Havant

I’m Lewis Walkinshaw, owner of BeMindset! With a 1st class degree with honours in Sport and Exercise Science and experience serving in the Royal Navy, I’ve always been dedicated to helping others. Now, as a personal trainer, my mission is to support each client with genuine care, building a fitness journey that strengthens both body and mind.

Training Philosophy: “Focus your mind, your body will follow.” My goal is to help you achieve the fitness you’ve always wanted—not by focusing solely on physical appearance, but by working on a mindset shift. When you prioritise mental strength, your body naturally aligns with your goals.

Vision: My vision is to empower clients to stay active, agile, and resilient as they age. By focusing on functional fitness, mobility, and strength, I help clients build a foundation that supports their bodies in daily life minimising the impact of ageing on movement and vitality. Whether you’re looking to feel stronger, move with ease, lose weight, or maintain independence, I’m here to guide you toward a balanced, sustainable fitness approach that keeps you thriving over time.

My Journey: Fitness has been transformational in my life. I struggled with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) from a young age, which led to perfectionism and anxiety as I got older. Through commitment to mindset work and consistent gym practice, I conquered those challenges, and now, my mission is to support others on their own journeys. I’m here to show you that your struggles don’t define you.

What should you expect?: I’ll be with you every step of the way to create a fitness routine that works for you and feels enjoyable. Together, we’ll work to overcome any mental or physical barriers you’re facing, with the goal of incorporating healthy habits as part of your lifestyle. I am patient, genuinely care and never take myself too seriously so we can have a laugh along the way.

Hi, I’m Liv. As a Personal Trainer, my ultimate goal is to empower you to feel strong, mobile, and confident in your body.

With over eight years of professional experience, a BSc in Sports Coaching, and specialist training in working with individuals with Parkinson’s, MS, Dementia, and those recovering from a Stroke, I’ve seen firsthand how transformative movement and exercise can be.

My passion for fitness began through sport. I’m a lifelong basketball player, and initially started strength and mobility training to enhance my performance. What I didn’t expect—but quickly came to value—was the reduction in aches, pains, and injuries. This has massively shaped my approach to training.

My training style centres on improving movement patterns and technique to help you move more freely and with less discomfort. I pair this with targeted strength work to support muscle development, resilience, and long-term health.

They say if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life. That’s exactly how I feel about personal training. I bring positive energy, genuine care, and a good dose of fun into every session.

So if you’re looking for personal training or group classes that are empowering, effective, filled with encouragement and laughs, get in touch. I’d love to support you on your fitness journey.

Client Feedback:

Jonathan

I started training with Liv in 2017; I had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s the year before and from day one, it was clear that Liv was going to be an enthusiastic partner who took an informed and intelligent interest in discovering the specialist mental and physical exercise essential to combating the progressive nature of the condition.

She has a very keen eye for detail, particularly in terms of correct posture and positioning, which helped transition me from a predominantly weight-based regime to a much more balanced and sophisticated approach, with coordination and accuracy at the forefront.

I was fortunate to meet her and train with her, and I wholeheartedly recommend her for her exceptional skill, work ethic, and caring nature.
