About Rob

Alchemy Fitness is owned and operated by Rob Stiffin, who is a REP's accredited advanced level 3 Personal Trainer and Sports Massage Therapist having gained a Diploma in Personal Training and Sports Massage Therapy with Premier Training.

Rob has been an active sportsman for most of his life, having been a competitive league badminton player and a keen distance runner competing in several marathons and dozens of half marathons. After working in the telecommunications industry for over 20 years, Rob decided the time was right to pursue a career that was more than just "something that pays the bills and fills in the time between the weekends."

"I can remember when I finished my first ever marathon. The smile stayed on my face for weeks afterwards and if I can help someone feel as good as I did then, I shall be just as thrilled".

Team sports give Rob just as much of a buzz. "Having played badminton competitively for many years, I have learnt that team spirit plays a huge part in the teams successes and to be successful, peak fitness is vital. The experiences I've gained from a lifetime of participation in sport enable me to train people effectively to help them to play a major team part in their chosen events".
