CONNOR GIFFORD

How would you describe yourself?

Chilled out, until there is some sort of competition, then you see the real side of me!

Where are you from?

Birmingham, UK

How did you get into fitness?

I’ve been involved in sports since childhood, mainly football and combat sports, and I knew from a young age I wanted a career in fitness/sports. After school, I completed various coaching qualifications and haven’t looked back since!

What do you bring to Reset classes?

I am a form connoisseur, I’ll help you with movement patterns to avoid injuries and ensure you get the most out of your session, as well as motivation on your toughest days!

Tell us a secret about yourself:

I am a strength and conditioning coach who has had the pleasure of working with World Champion athletes and Olympians!

LAUREN GOGGS

How would you describe yourself?

Bubbly and Fun…but could also be your Mum 😉

Where are you from?

The Garden of England, otherwise known as Kent. 

How did you get into fitness?

I have always loved sport and exercise. When I moved to London I got stuck in a corporate job working all hours under the sun and not taking care of myself. I burnt myself out and knew I needed to look after my own physical and mental wellbeing.

I left my job to travel and learn more about my own body which led to taking my PT qualifications and soon feel in love with helping women become more confident versions of themselves through exercise. Becoming a mum has only cemented my commitment to helping women through fitness.

What do you bring to Reset classes?

As well as wealth of knowledge in health and wellness, I bring a tonne of energy to motivate the class and some pretty terrible dance moves!

Tell us a secret about yourself:

Ooh, too many to choose from. You will have to buy me a drink first ;)

RUMI SANDANAYAKE

How would you describe yourself?

I’m someone who’s obsessed with understanding the ‘why’ behind things, especially in fitness. I’ll push you hard, but I’ll also make sure you understand what you’re doing and why it matters. I’m calm… until it’s time to work. Then I become very hard to ignore.😉

Where are you from?

A tiny but beautiful island called Sri Lanka.

How did you get into fitness?

I didn’t get into fitness because everything was perfect, I got into it because I needed it. It started as a way to build myself up, physically, and mentally. Over time, it turned into something bigger helping other people do the same.

What do you bring to Reset classes?

I bring technique, progression, and the science behind it all so no matter where you’re starting, you leave better than you came in. And I wrap all of that in a bit of fun… although I can’t promise who it’s fun for. It’s always fun for me, but may be rarely for you.” 😄

Tell us a secret about yourself:

I’m a proud Android user… but when it comes to computers, I’m a MacBook fan. Don’t ask, I don’t fully understand it either.

MOHAMMED UMAR

How would you describe yourself?

Energetic, people-focused and results driven. I bring a mix of professionalism, empathy and high standards to everything I do whether that’s coaching a class, supporting a member or helping someone push past a mental barrier. I genuinely enjoy seeing people grow together, not just physically but in confidence too.

Where are you from?

I am from Mumbai, India

How did you get into fitness?

Fitness started as a sport for me – I was a professional football player and a passionate marathoner over time it evolved into a career. I coached people and communities for some of the world’s top brands . What began as training for performance turned into a passion for coaching, helping others move better, feel stronger and enjoy the process. That transition from athlete to coach really defines how I approach fitness today. 

What do you bring to Reset classes?

I bring high energy, clear coaching and a strong focus on member experience. My goal is to make classes challenging but welcoming – where people feel supported, motivated and excited to come back. I pay close attention to form, effort and mindset while keeping the atmosphere positive and engaging.

Tell us a secret about yourself:

Something that most people don’t know about me is the fact that I love dancing, doodling and I never want pineapple on my pizza.

ZUZANA GAUGELER

How would you describe yourself?

Caring, energetic, with attention to form and technique.

Where are you from?

Slovakia

How did you get into fitness?

I’ve been active most of my life and passionate about different sports throughout my life. Once I realized how much I enjoy coaching and how much knowledge I can share to shape and change people’s lives, it was an easy transition to move full-time to the Fitness & Wellness Industry.

What do you bring to Reset classes?

I bring lots of fun and energy to each class with the attention to movement patterns, alignment and form. Coming from endurance training background, and with additional qualifications in yoga and meditation, I bring mix of fun and energetic classes to calming breathing exercises. If you need to be pushed in the class, or if you wish to focus on mobility and alignment, I’m your person.

Tell us a secret about yourself:

I ran multi-stage self-sufficient race: 150km in three days.
