Meet the Founder
Hello, I’m Graham Tirrell, an ex-professional boxer with an unbeaten record. Throughout my boxing career, I explored every training method available to maximise my performance for fight night. From CrossFit and Hyrox training to strength conditioning, mobility exercises, yoga, and stretching, my primary goal was always to arrive at my target date in peak fitness—without risking injury.
Reflecting on my journey, I noticed a common trend: many individuals train intensely for a single event, only to return to square one afterward, drifting aimlessly in the gym. This observation inspired me to create a fitness package that captures the best elements from all the training styles I experienced as a professional athlete.
So, we developed with the help of my head coach Mano, the Ultimate 8 Small Group Personal Training Experience. This program is designed not just for one-time events but for sustainable fitness that integrates seamlessly into everyday life. In my dynamic and engaging classes, I work with groups of eight, ensuring personalised attention while fostering a supportive community..
The Ultimate 8 experience combines a variety of effective training methodologies to keep workouts fresh and exciting. My approach emphasises fun, motivation, and results, making it the perfect solution for anyone looking to elevate their fitness journey.
Join me and the team take your first step towards getting fit the Ultimate 8 way! Together, we can achieve lasting results that go beyond any single event.
