Jo Richardson - Fitness & Studio Manager and Personal Trainer
Jo has been a member of Kings since 2017 and joined the team full time in 2021. A self-confessed fitness addict, she is a firm believer in the mental benefits of exercise as well as physical, which is where her love of exercise comes from and she says that working somewhere that helps people so much in so many different ways is a huge motivation. Having been with the team a few years now, Jo's role at the Club has evolved and she now heads up our fitness team as Fitness & Studio Manager and Personal Trainer.
Jo believes that in order for an exercise programme to be effective it has to be enjoyable, progressive, challenging and well-structured. She is passionate about helping people to change their lives in the most effective and realistic way possible. Jo believes in positive motivation and keeping clients on their toes, sustaining their interest by keeping programmes both challenging and exciting.
Outside of work, she likes spending time with her friends, playing games or reading. She's also got an adventurous side, which means she is up for trying almost everything. So far, skydiving, shark-cage diving and looking after Cheetahs have been ticked off her list to name a few!
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.
Sam Lycett - Gym Floor Instructor & Personal Trainer
Sam joined us in August 2024 as part of the Kings & Marina fitness team. He began his career in the fitness industry in 2021 and has since been a personal trainer in a private gym, alongside coaching CrossFit and Olympic Weightlifting. He is a firm believer that movement is medicine. Therefore, is passionate about delivering high quality 1-1 and group sessions that ensure everyone can move and exercise as effectively as possible.
He has always been excited by sport and fitness, partaking and competing in various disciplines. A bit of a daredevil, Sam raced Motocross since the age of 6. Unfortunately, this resulted in a severe wrist injury in 2022. Despite having fusion surgery, Sam refused to give up on his training and career. Now determined to use his experience with injury to show that you can always adapt and overcome to continue exercising.
This has led to competing in the adaptive CrossFit division. His knowledge and experience in sport performance and training enhances his speciality in helping others to train to improve their performance, general physical ability or sport progression.
Outside of work Sam enjoys riding bikes, relaxing, going to the beach and loves to travel.
Serena Moloney - Fitness Instructor and Personal Trainer
Serena has been in the fitness industry for the last 30 years and has a wealth of experience working as a group exercise instructor and Personal Trainer.
Serena's interest is in women's wellness, particularly menopausal women who find the changes to their bodies quite challenging. Serena helps women to navigate this time of their life in a holistic way to help them look and feel better. Strength training becomes even more important at this time of life as muscle mass declines and having a Personal Trainer who understands these changes and how to overcome them will help you through this third age.
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.
