Liam Ryan
Liam became an instructor to inspire others just like instructors had inspired him through his own fitness journey. Liam pretty much does it all and teaches BODYPUMP, BODYSTEP, BODYATTACK, BODYCOMBAT and SH’BAM. Liam says “It’s a very rewarding role, the best is when someone says I’ve done it because of you, you inspired me and helped me…well it’s just the icing on the cake.”
"I nominate Liam Ryan! Even though I’ve moved away I still go back to his class whenever I can! There is no instructor like him. He always pushes me to go that extra mile and smash your targets.”
Michelle Milligan
Michelle has been a fitness instructor for 20 years and has been a Les Mills instructor since 2004. Michelle says. “The highlight of my journey was being on stage at GFX Glasgow for BODYATTACK and BODYVIVE on 14th March 2015. It was actually my birthday, so it made it more special AND it was spent with 15 of my class participants who came along and absolutely loved it.”
“I nominate Michelle Milligan. Not only has she inspired countless participants to transition into instructors, but she has also generously given up her time to mentor them through the process.”
Jaime Hibbert
Jaime Hibbert has been in the fitness industry for years and was even a gym instructor while she studied at University.
