Our Champion Gym Manager,
Chris Young

The gym manager here at Pennyhill Park is a larger than life character with a real passion for fitness, nutrition and general well-being. Indeed in his own words he explains what his life statement is…

“...to help, encourage and educate people towards a happier, healthier life through strength and fitness. This is my passion, it’s what I do, and it’s what I’ve been fortunate enough to do at Pennyhill Park since early 2004.”


Luxury Spa Hotel - Gym Manager Chris YoungA Champion!

Since the age of 10, when I remember seeing the great Soviet Lifter Alexeyev win Gold in the 1976 Olympics I have been fascinated by strength and power; unfortunately I was an overweight kid at school. Because of this I had to work hard to achieve and in 2009 I achieved what that slow, fat kid wouldn’t have believed possible when I won the following British and World titles.

  • British Single Lift: Squat – 1st Overall, 1st in Age Category
  • World Single Lift: Squat – 3rd Overall, 1st in Age Category
  • British Powerlifting – 1st in Age Category
  • World Powerlifting – 1st in Age Category
  • British Record Holder: Squat M1 (Age Category) 225kg

What next for Chris?

After having shoulder surgery in January 2010 I am now training hard for 2011’s competition schedule; I’ll be dropping down a weight class (110kg) and I don’t know if I’ll be adding to my titles and records, but if I don’t it won’t be because I didn’t work hard enough!

Happy in life, happy in work...

I am very lucky that my professional life and personal life are so entwined; although I realise that very few would want to have a bulky physique like me. The skills and systems that I use to be as strong as possible can be modified so that they are more inline with the physique goals which most of the visitors to our gym have.

I am also very aware that for many, health is of the utmost importance; and here in the Spa gym Becky and I are qualified Cardiac Rehabilitation Instructors (BACR Phase 4). I am proud to say that we really can cater for all, from the unhealthy and deconditioned, all the way through to world-class athletes.

In closing I would like to state that I will continue to look for better ways to get the best possible results for my clients; I am committed to my life statement!
