Dave Algeo MSc

Mindset, Resilience and Emotional Coping/ Emotional Eating Support

After decades of ups and downs in health and weight, whilst building a career and business, I have learned that real, sustainable change and improvements in health and weight come from taking the longer, life-proof approach to our goals.
After a career in policing and now having worked with lots of clients over the years, I have developed an approach focused on helping you turn your health around, lose weight sustainably, and feel better about yourself. You can feel more comfortable in your own skin. It really is possible and it’s is never too late.

I aim to live a full ‘midlife and beyond’ and have cycled Lands End to John O’Groats, London To Barcelona and competed in regional Crossfit Comps.

Martin Whitaker MSc

Fitness, Nutrition, Strength & Performance Coach

I’m Martin and I have a passion for the science of fitness, exercise and health. I have been coaching clients and athletes from a range of disciplines including para-olympic skiing, pole fitness, Channel swimmers and Atlantic rowers.

I set up ‘One Take Fitness’ in Gateshead in 2012 and focused on providing small group sessions, including one of the first safe space areas for women to train.

I have continued to focus on my professional development recently completing an MSc in Strength and Conditioning and am currently undertaking PhD research in the field of training recovery.

I believe in helping you become the best version of yourself - however you define that - and believe that building a love of movement, fitness and strength into your life can be a powerful way to do just that.

I provide online exercise and nutrition programmes that are designed to support your health improvements for life. I am part of a team that holds a world record for rowing on the Concept 2 Rower.’
