Shane Clarke

Founder & Head Coach

Shane here 👋🏻 Owner & Head Coach here in Unit 17.

I started my fitness journey back in 2017 when I decided I was sick of feeling crap and wanted to make a change. At the time I was almost 23 stone in weight and had a really bad lifestyle that involved binging on foods and abusing my body. When I started experiencing the benefits to fat loss and exercise I felt amazing and thought “I wish somebody showed me this earlier”. My inspiration for getting into the fitness industry was to be in a position to be able to help others who find themselves in similar positions as I once was.

Here at Unit 17 we specialise in helping busy men & women transform their lifestyles through exercise in a fun friendly way along with sustainable nutrition guidance & accountability. We have helped hundreds of people just like you become the best versions of themselves by helping them achieve the goals they never thought they could.

Linda Fay

Coach

Linda has been in the fitness industry 3 years and is qualified personal trainer, fitness instructor and also has qualifications in Kettlebells and TRX. Originally starting off as a client, Linda was once overweight, depressed & struggling while also raising a family.

Linda says the best thing about being a coach is seeing people progress and seeing clients smiling when they finally realise what they have achieved in the gym and how much their confidence has grown.

“Exercise is the best medicine for mental health when you find the right community to be apart of.”
