  • Kane Ridings

    Kane is an experienced trainer having worked in various gyms before going it alone as a Personal Trainer. His passion is for functional training and has applied his techniques to improve both his personal performance in sports as well as other athletes in their various fields.

    Kane has a passion for trying to resolve long standing issues, fixing muscle imbalances and ensuring the body is moving in the correct way to enable pain free movement. He understands the importance of muscle activation in a way that he can easily identify areas of weakness and is able to provide progressive plans to isolate problems and target specific muscles to bring the body back into balance.

    "I went to Kane with a hip injury that was causing me a lot of pain during squats, deadlifts and running. After many physio sessions and still not feeling confident in my training I contacted Kane. Within the first 30 minutes of my first session Kane sorted my issue straight away. Identified the problem and worked on the weakness which led to a pain-free session." - Kelly R

    "I booked in with Kane as a result of issues with both my knees. Kane quickly diagnosed the issue as patella tendinitis in both knees, something a physio and chiropractor both also diagnosed at a later stage. I was unable to run, squat, stand up without pain in both knees. 6-8 weeks later and I’m running frequently, squatting pain free and getting back to full fitness" - Ian D
