New Fitness Club Supervisor

Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Michael, and I am the new Fitness Club Supervisor here at Shorefield Country Park.

After a shoulder injury cut short my Navy career, I took the decision to move into the Health & Fitness sector.

Starting as a gym instructor in Basingstoke, I have progressed through various roles, including managing a community centre in Winchester, to now working at Shorefield. This journey has provided me with extensive experience in operations, customer service, and community-driven initiatives. My commitment to health, fitness, and well-being extends beyond my professional life, as I am also the Co-Founder and Director of Tidal Swim Club, a swim school I run alongside my partner, her brother, and a close friend. This venture reflects my entrepreneurial spirit, leadership abilities, and passion for creating opportunities for others to develop their skills.

Outside of work, I am deeply involved in sports, particularly hockey, which has been my passion for the past 15 years. I currently play for Winchester and, during the off-season, enjoy golf, paddleboarding, and kayaking. My adventurous nature drives me to constantly challenge myself, and I am eager to rekindle my interest in surfing.

I am very much looking forward to meeting as many of you as possible over the coming months.

Mike
