our founder
Ben Jakeman
I’ve been an Pt/coach for 17 years, starting in the British Army. Working with sports teams, individuals and companies, where ever I’ve worked in the world.
I settled in Middlesbrough and made it my life’s mission to reduce illness and chronic disease of my family, our clients and their families. In hope we can pass on these foundations of sustainable health to the next generation. We believe in fun and strong relationships between staff and all clients, that just don’t exist elsewhere. Caring is our super power.

When Becky 1st walked through our doors as a physio and asked if we could work together, we knew she would make a great coach too!

We are so excited have Kirsty help the Tees valley improve healthy habits through habits and behaviour based nutrition. As a business we’ve always recruited our coaches from within.Kirsty joins the nutrition coaches team after over 2 years of training as a client, we’ve seen Kirsty go from quiet church mouse to motivated ninja.
 Kirsty received member of the month in November 2020 after leading a team in the quaranteam games and hitting a personal monthly run total over 200km. People don’t come much more motivated than Kirsty and she admits it’s purely just consistency. A true people person, caring mother of 3 + dogs, a few cats, goat Derek, chickens and some guinea fowl.
