Get fit outside - feel good inside.

Instructors

All BMF instructors are serving or former members of the Royal Marines Commandos, Army, RAF or the Navy. They are all qualified fitness professionals and are all fully insured.

Probably the best BMF instructors in the country!

 Dave - Park Manager: started BMF as a member in London while training for his Green Beret with the Royal Marines Reserve (aka Rubber Daggers).  Losing a game of spoof in 2007 meant Dave had to join 40 Commando RM for 15 months, including a six month tour on the front line of Helmand Province, Afghanistan.  On return, having become a "Real" Marine, was promoted to Lead Instructor.  Dave is a Fire-fighter in West Sussex.  When not working, Dave likes to relax spinning chad war dits to retired greyhounds, studying burpee evolution and maintaining the 3rd best front garden in RH15.     

 Craig - Park Manager: Craig has worked for BMF for a number of years, despite his mature looks he is actually still at school studying sport.  During weekends, evenings and holidays he is a Personal Trainer and Sports Massage Therapist.  Recently promoted to a "managerial" position in an attempt to convince his parents he has finally got a proper job. Served with the TA for a while and completed a Diploma in Personal Training and Sports Therapy.

           

       

 Keith - Area Manager South: Keith was a Royal Marines  Commando for over 8 years. He completed Para, Sniper,  Recce Leader and Command courses. He was trained in Mountain, Desert, Jungle and Arctic Warfare. He plays rugby, does sprint triathlons and is not shy of a beer or 10. He lives in a massive house thanks to the fortune he has saved on hair cuts.   

     

         

 Les - Instructor: Les was a soldier in the REME with an excellent record and left the Forces to travel and work abroad. He helped build BMF Brighton in the early days when we only had about 10 people per session. He is also a Personal Trainer and has been studying and instructing Wing Chun. (Self Defence) He is an excellent instructor bringing lots of new ideas to his classes.  A recent addition to the BMF Instructors "Father's Club"

      

Paul - Instructor: "Reg" served as a Royal Marines Commando for 9 years and completed the Premier Diploma in Personal Training and Sports Therapy prior to leaving. He is excellent on the remedial side of fitness so any niggles or aches just ask Paul. He is also an excellent builder. He also does a fantastic Del Boy style falling over trick when he has had half a lager. Now fully trained in dessert warfare!

    

 Dan - Instructor: Another Instructor who believes falling out of airplanes deserves special pay.  Dan spent ten years as a regular and reservist soldier with the Parachute Regiment conducting operational tours in Northern Ireland, the Balkans and Iraq.  On leaving the service he spent a further 3 years in Baghdad as a private security operative.  Now based in Brighton, energetic Dan works for a large energy supplier.  Completed the BMF Fitness NVQ and now provides electrifying classes that are apparently "ally".  Interests include singing and dancing in local bars. 

 Jon - Instructor: Jon is currently serving as a Staff Sergeant Instructor within the Army Physical Training Corps.  During his time in the forces he has served in numerous foreign countries as well as with the Parachute Regiment and Gurkhas. His proudest moment was possibly passing Commando training under the supervision and guidance of the Royal Marines.  He comes with 14 years experience of physical training. During the day he is working as an Injury Rehabilition Instructor at the Defence Rehabilitation Centre, Headley court.  Any injuries or problems then have a chat with Jon

Chris - Instructor: Chris was in the Army, he was actually in the Signals and was Airborne. Moving swiftly on. He is now an excellent addition to our team and in no time has turned into a great BMF instructor. His roots (probably dyed & defintely gelled) are Spanish, hence the tan?    

                  

      

Jason - Instructor: Finally another Bootneck to raise the BMF standards.  Jason joined the Royal Marines many moons ago under the charge of the Duke of York & Albany and worked alongside Hanna Snell undergoing deployments around the world.  Following a few years in the building trade returned to the fitness industry.

Jason - Instructor: "Mac" is another member of HM finest, joined the Royal Marines with Keith years back when training was extremely hard.

He says, "Aye, Ouch, danoooooo, reeeet, pal, alreet, divna" The rest is anyones guess. He is a great addition to our instructor team with years of experience (James actually attended the fitness class where the press up was invented) in the fitness world and it shows in his brilliant classes.
