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.

I booked my consultation where we discussed my my goals. Throughout the entire process I felt totally at ease and relaxed. He watches your every movement in detail so you can get the most out of every session. Another reason I like working with Shane, if you have an issue with a particular exercise or movement you don't feel comfortable with he will suggest an alternative. At no point do you feel embarrassed that you can't do something.

If you looking for a good gym I couldn't recommend Unit 17 enough. I am there a good while now and the instructors are great. Love that they check in with you to see how things are going ie diet workouts 💪 in case you might be struggling with anything. So give them a shout and go chat you certainly won't regret it. In fact you'll be delighted with how you feel

Shane trained myself and my husband for over a year pre covid in the gym and through covid on line.. We had both been struggling to lose weight & get fit I'm 56 and my husband is 60. Within six months I had lost over a stone and reached my desired weight but best of all was the transformation in my body, due to the work out regime he had designed for me.

I have been going to Unit 17 for the past 16 weeks and have found the classes to be excellent. The guidance from the trainers is great, they help keep you on track by checking in with you regularly helping with areas you might be struggling with and assisting with maintaining accountability of yourself and what you set out to achieve.

Unit 17 is an outstanding gym with a real personal touch. The gym has excellent Personal Trainers who are fully invested and genuinely interested in you achieving your goals. Little extras like weekly check-in forms to see how you’re doing with follow up is really personal to you. Also the recent gym newsletter fosters an ethos of community and communication. Can’t recommend highly enough 💪

I literally transformed my body into a much younger and stronger version than I had allowed it to become. I'm now wearing dresses & Jean's I wore in my forties! My husband shed over 3 stone and is fitter and healthier than he has been in years. I would highly recommend Shane if you are looking for real results and are willing to put the work in.

He is so patient & approachable and understands exactly what you need to keep you moving forward. I had a bad knee issue for a few years and now I'm back doing 5k runs 🏃‍♀️. At 42 years of age I think that's progress. I have been with Shane since November and the changes for me have been fantastic. Lost weight, toned up, and just feel like I have more energy. I would highly recommend Shane to anyone so much so that my mum of 62 is now training with him and seeing results.

Hi worked with Shane as my PT for about 1 year started of extremely unfit and overweight, one year later down nearly 2stone in weight went from XL clothes to a Med. The classes were made fun and enjoyable food was explained in an easy way so got the diet sorted so I understood what I was eating to control my weight. The workout were structured so anyone can do it I have never looked back. 💯 recommend you give it a go.

Just wanted to say what a pleasure it is to work with Shane on my personal get fit, loose weight journey. Nothing was ever a problem to Shane and he was great at explaining all the exercises and very patient with me trying to learn each one. I would highly recommend Shane for any level of fitness training

Great experience working with Shane. Achieved great results - both physically and mentally. He's super knowledgeable and explains every exercise. Provides some great resources via videos, food menus and his app. I always look forward going to the gym and working out with Shane. Highly recommend without a doubt.
