THE TEAM

NEIL COLLINS,

Head Coach & Owner

Neil was introduced to a certain type of fitness [that can no longer be mentioned on this site] whilst on deployment as a Royal Marines Commando. Since “going outside”, Neil has trained, interned, coached, drank and disgraced himself in numerous places and facilities across the globe. After settling down a little, and becoming less of a tosser, he opened Blackbrook in 2014. Neil has worked with people from all walks of life - people of all ages, from different cultures, with various abilities and needs, in numerous different fields and pursuits.

Neil will read anything and everything on the subject of exercise science and nutrition, because he is just incredibly, incredibly cool.

Since he firmly believes the government and other agencies are spying on him, he is reluctant to give out any more information about himself...

ALI REED,

Coach & Badass

If tapped, one of Ali’s squat sessions could power all the cities in Europe for 2 hours.

Ali has beaten a brick wall in a game of tennis, she eats champions for breakfast, and once punched a storm in the eye…

Bex Harper,

Coach & Pun Enthusiast

Bex has had many professions in her time...

She has worked as a jeweller, where her abs were used to cut and shape rough diamonds into gems; in the bar trade, where her glutes were used to balance tequila shots; Bex even had a brief career as a YouTuber, where her (frankly unnatural) ability to eat so much food in one sitting turned her into a celebrity overnight.

Now Bex is crushing it as a coach, and we're thrilled to have her!
