About Us - Our Team

Sean Mills - Group Club Manager

Jovial, personable, slightly OCD about making lists and with the Club at the centre of everything he does, Sean is the go-to man for staff and members alike. Having been with Kings for over 14 years, he considers a number of members his personal friends and works tirelessly to make sure the Club environment is an enjoyable and productive one for everyone concerned.

When asked what he particularly enjoyed about working with the team at Marina and Kings, he said he loves the small close-knit team and highlighted the way that everyone goes above and beyond their normal duties, particularly during difficult or busy seasonal periods.

Sean has a passion for all sports and excels at golf where he has represented Guernsey in numerous Inter-Insulars and has been fortunate enough to compete at two Island Games. Outside of work he enjoys holidaying in new places, spending time with his wife and family and despite managing a Health Club, he understands and appreciates the need to let your hair down, socialise and have a drink with friends.

Sue Niles - Office, IT and Administration Executive

Sue joined the team in 2022 and enjoys the variety of the her role. She plays an important role in our small team and manages our day to day administrative and office requirements. Sue loves our ethos of working together to get the job done. She is also passionate about technology, which stems from her previous career in IT as an ethical hacker and she particularly enjoys troubleshooting, which forms a regular part of her role as she oversees much of our IT platform.

In her spare time Sue enjoys art, fishing and loves to spend time out in all weathers with her dog Bourbon.

Phil Comeskey - Club Assistant

Coming soon.

Claire Luvin - Personal Trainer & Nutritionist

Claire is a Level 3 Personal trainer who has been working in the fitness industry since 2002. She is passionate about helping people achieve greater confidence and firmly believes that a structured training programme with progressive overload delivers far better results than any amount of cardio or HIIT training will.

She also specialises in pre and post-natal exercise and understands the importance of a functional core on returning to exercise post-delivery. Claire maintains a keen interest in nutrition and is constantly developing her knowledge in this field in order to help her clients to achieve optimal results with a consistent approach to both training and diet.

She's also a bit of an adrenaline junkie and has notched up a skydive, completed the London Marathon, London Triathlon and various obstacle races.

Dave Richardson - Fitness Instructor and Personal Trainer

Dave has been a fitness trainer for over 20 years. He was inspired to become an instructor when he became a lot fitter through running and wanted people to share that feeling of wellbeing.

He has a passion for helping people to reach their goals and currently teaches the popular Les Mills CYCLING classes, Trip, RPM and Sprint as well as having a portfolio of Personal Training clients that he works with on a regular basis.

Dave still finds time and the energy to run, especially on the cliff paths, something he has been doing for over 20 years.

Karl Moherndl - Fitness Class Instructor

Karl has been a Fitness Instructor at Kings for a number of years teaching Les Mills GRIT, BodyAttack and BodyStep in addition to his full-time job as a teacher at The Grammar School and Sixth Form Centre.

Karl originally joined Kings as a member in 2012 and it was the buzz created in the exercise classes and the difference they made to his fitness and well-being that inspired him to initially train in BodyAttack.

Karl loves sharing the passion he has for the programmes, and seeing the progress people make when they accomplish something they couldn't do a month before.

Mike Froome - Fitness Class Instructor

When it comes to experience, Mike has it in spades. He's been teaching fitness classes for “Donkeys Years” and joined the team at Kings in 2010 as a part-time fitness instructor.

He is keen on motivating people and making them work as hard as they can in order to get maximum benefit from the classes. He particularly likes the music and choreography of his Pump and CX Worx classes, and says that the Les Mills offering within Kings is second to none.

He spent nearly 20 years as a paramedic and training manager at the Guernsey Ambulance Service and is currently the Clinical Skills Trainer at the Princess Elizabeth Hospital. He is also Guernsey's Community Resuscitation Development Officer and spends two days a week teaching people around the island how to use defibrillators, together with basic resuscitation techniques.

In his spare time he loves to be out and about and enjoys swimming, eating out, socialising and people watching.

Elinora Robilliard - Fitness Class Instructor

Ellie has a self-confessed passion for fitness and the way it makes people feel and says Kings is the perfect place to be, describing it as a social and vibrant Club with great people, from the members right through to the fitness staff who are friendly and dedicated to helping everyone achieve their goals.

She is a huge fan of the Les Mills classes and loves the fact that they are really inclusive, and accessible to everyone, no matter whether they are a beginner or an experienced gym-user. She also finds the music and choreography motivating and exciting. Outside of work, Ellie enjoys long walks and meals out in Guernsey's great restaurants!

Tracy Hubert - Fitness Class Instructor

Tracy is known among her friends and colleagues a complete fitness nerd and a bit of a Duracell bunny. Kings has been a lifelong passion for her and holds many fond memories, from playing tennis as a junior to forging some great friendships over the years. She credits the welcoming approach she gets from the reception desk, to getting down to business in the studio under the watchful eye of some great instructors as a real plus, both for her personally and for the Club as a whole. She loves the enthusiasm and energy of the Kings instructors and felt that she wanted to be a part of that, which led her to train as a certified Les Mills instructor of both The Trip and RPM.

In her full-time role as an Assistant Headteacher, she strives to lead and inspire her pupils by helping them to see that anything is possible if you put your heart into it. She has recently settled back into her fitness routine by making full use of the Immersive Cycling Studio after suffering a ruptured achillies. She says it really highlights the fact that regardless of her body throwing a curved ball with an injury preventing her from running or jumping, it's still possible to achieve a really great level of fitness, particularly at Kings as there's always an activity to do at the club, no matter what your body constraints might be.

Outside of work she can often be found sea swimming. In March 2020, she completed her first year-round swimming anniversary, having swum through the dark winter months at 6am most mornings. She is also learning to play the acoustic guitar and loves to partake of the odd margarita or two with friends. Her passion for baking means that she has rare sofa-time, but she just loves being busy. Her family and close friends definitely reap the rewards of her bakes!

Sophie Le Blanq - Swimming Coach

Sophie is a fully-qualified swimming coach and has been teaching at Kings for over 15 years. Many of the children Sophie has taught to swim at Kings have gone on to represent the island at national and even international level. Sophie is able to offer something for the absolute beginner right through to the competitive swimmer.

Having represented the island at international level on a number of occasions herself, Sophie hung up her competitive hat and goggles in 1998, when she transitioned into swim teaching. She loves to see her clients improve, gaining water confidence and stroke technique. Passionate about swimming, she feels it's an essential skill to learn, especially in Guernsey which is surrounded by sea and beautiful beaches, where water sports are becoming ever more popular.

Rob West - Head of Sports and Kids@Kings

Renowned Guernsey tennis player and coach Rob West joined us in 2021 to take on the role of Head of Sports and to launch and lead our new and growing Kids@Kings programme.

Rob grew up in Guernsey and left at the age of 16 to pursue his tennis-playing ambitions, firstly on a scholarship to Millfield School and then on a subsequent scholarship to Cleveland State University in Ohio, USA. His passion for tennis provided him with numerous opportunities to play, train and travel all over the world. On graduating, he took up a number of prestigious coaching positions in Ohio, New Jersey and New York.

He is a United States Professional Tennis Association (USPTA) Certified Elite Pro and a Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) Accredited Coach and since 2010 has been a full time manager and coach at the Guernsey Tennis Centre where he has continued to pass on the knowledge he has gained by helping others to develop to their full potential and fulfil their sporting ambitions.

Rob is excited about the opportunity to create top-class kids activities across a range of disciplines at Kings and says that being involved from day one has allowed him to develop his vision with input and ideas right from the start. He is looking forward to building a strong team of leaders to help deliver the programmes with him.

Outside of work he plays tennis and padel and enjoys keeping active. He loves getting outdoors and walking his dog Rafa (yes, after Nadal!).
