About RCPT

Robert Copperthwaite

I wanted to become a personal trainer after experiencing my first few sessions at the gym when I was just 15. I was instantly hooked. I’ve always had a lot of energy so a job where I could be on my feet, being energetic, seemed a great idea. 

I initially got into fitness to help improve my golf. I identified in myself that I needed to become stronger and more flexible to compete against better golfers. Improving my fitness would allow me to practice every day without tiring. Once I became fitter and stronger, I noticed I was still experiencing back pains and issues with tension in my legs. I realised that although I was training hard, my knowledge of fitness still had a long way to go.

I decided to research posture in more detail, particularly the benefits of less intense and more focused workouts for specific muscles groups and movement patterns. Once I completed my postural analysis training and identified the exercises I required, the benefits were immediately noticeable. In the space of 6 months, I managed to move my handicap from 5 down to +2. This style of training enabled me to become one of the best amateur golfers in the Midlands. After turning pro, I managed to get to 1600th in the world.

I quickly realised this knowledge could benefit others and provide a great platform for personal training sessions. I have been incorporating the techniques ever since. My competitive nature still shines through, I expect nothing less than the best results for anyone training with me

Now that I have wound down on the golf front I want to focus on helping as many people as possible stay injury free and feel as good as they can be. Whatever the sport, I’ve seen many clients boost their physical performance through this style of training.

I believe far too much of fitness these days is focused on aesthetics instead of functionality. I mean what’s the point in looking better if you still don’t feel any better! I believe in turning this theory on its head – life is here to be enjoyed and it is possible to have fun whilst maintaining a body that feels good and functions the way it should! You don’t have to have a six pack to have a strong functional core and you certainly don’t need big biceps to cure your back pain. 

Everyone has the power to possess a body that’s free from aches and pains whether you’re a fitness model or regular pub user. It just takes a few hours of your week to make this possible and through my sessions I’ll make sure you achieve it in the most effective way.
