sports centre Staff Profiles
Kiran
I have been voluntarily managing K.K Sports and Leisure Centre for 3 years, during this time we have implemented a variety of new facilities; most specifically the Boxing Club. Boxing has been a huge passion of mine for as long as I can remember, so it was a fantastic opportunity to divulge this through our leisure centre. I am an ABA registered boxing coach, which allows me to teach and train people in boxing, putting extra focus on getting more women into the sport. I also love martial arts and enjoy instructing classes and participating in them too when I have free time.
Baz
Boxing is a sport that has been a massive part of my life since a young age, my experience within the sport has helped me devise unique training programmes for a diverse range of people -that really work! so it was a fantastic opportunity to help open a new boxing club at KK Sports Centre last year. I have been working at K.K Sports & Leisure Centre for 5 years and became manager alongside Kiran in 2008. I am highly qualified in Personal Training, Gym Instructing, Sports Nutrition, Sports Therapy & injury Rehabilitation, as well as boosting qualifications in teaching fitness classes and recently became a fully certified ABA boxing coach, which has allowed us to register our boxing club as an ABA-approved venue. I am very passionate about keeping fit and helping others achieve their goals and visit the gym myself in my spare time.
Josh
I have had a passion for sport and fitness for a number of years. I enjoy an array of sporting activities, my favourite being football. I first got into the gym when I was 16 in my final year of school. I decided I needed to change my unhealthy habits and started researching effective nutrition and training programmes. I managed to lose 10kg in fat and began to really enjoy weight training. My interest grew in this field, therefore I opted to make it a career. I have been working as a fitness instructor for almost 4 years now and I want to help you achieve your goals by applying my knowledge in health, fitness and nutrition.
Kammy
I base my workouts around unorthodox strength and endurance methods and pass these workouts on to members by training along-side them, motivating and encouraging them. I find this to be very enjoyable and is definitely a part of my job I enjoy. I am also a coach for the Kids Boxing classes and it is very motivating and rewarding to offer young children a healthy activity that can be fun. I currently play for Trent rugby league so conditioning for sports plays a vital role in my life and I wish to help anyone who is part of a team to reach their sporting aspirations.
Dennis
I am a centre attendant at K.K Sports & Leisure Centre and have a huge passion for sports and fitness. I enjoy coaching children in football and more recently boxing. I was fortunate enough to recently partake and pass my Safeguarding with Children and Shadow Boxing qualifications to boost my credentials in the coaching field. In my free time, I enjoy swimming, kickboxing and participating and assisting with the exercise classes that are run at our Leisure Centre.

Liz
I have been at K.K Sports & Leisure Centre for 3 years as a receptionist. Over this time, I have developed a rapport with many customers and enjoy meeting and greeting every customer that walks in. Out of the work environment, I am a fun-loving, outgoing person who enjoys fitness and welcomes everybody with a smile.
Luke
I have been interested in sports and fitness for many years, especially after an injury to my knee. I began physiotherapy, and upon learning more about the muscles in my knee and how to re-build them, my passion grew. I decided to take this upon myself to get into the gym industry and start weight training, which has allowed me gain a vast amount of experience. Since my employment at K.K Sports & Leisure centre, I have passed numerous courses such as Safeguarding Children and Boxing Coaching. As I wish to pursue a career in this industry, I take my work very seriously but also make it a memorable experience.
