From the Dojo
to the Gym Floor.

Rob Head is a Level 3 certified personal trainer in Altrincham, specialising in strength and conditioning, nutritional guidance, and muscle tone and development. Based at PureGym Altrincham, he helps people across Altrincham, Sale and Hale build real-world fitness through disciplined, progressive training.

Twelve years ago, Rob started karate the way most people start the gym — just to have something to do. Then discipline took over. Today he is a 3rd Dan black belt, a Kumite Squad Coach, and a certified PT who brings the same structured, no-shortcuts approach to every single client he works with.

“If you want to improve your fitness, your confidence, and your headspace — let’s talk.”

That dojo mindset is the thing most PTs cannot offer: there is no winging it. Every session is planned, every progression is earned, and every client gets treated like they are genuinely capable of more than they think. No fluff, no filler, no copy-paste programmes.

Strength & Conditioning

Structured compound training built around your body and your goals — not a template.

Nutritional Guidance

Practical, flexible nutrition coaching that fits your real life — not a 1,200-calorie crash plan.

Train with intent. Build lean, functional muscle through progressive, data-tracked sessions.

ANSWERS

Questions. Answered.

Do I need any gym experience to train with Rob?
No — you do not need any prior gym experience to train with Rob. Every session is tailored to your current fitness level and Rob builds your confidence and technique from the ground up. Most of his clients start exactly where you are now, and he has no ego about meeting you there.
Where is Rob based?
Rob trains clients at PureGym Altrincham, at 8-10 Stamford New Rd, WA14 1EJ. It is bang in Altrincham town centre and easy to reach from Altrincham, Sale, Hale and the rest of South Manchester. Free-to-park nearby and walkable from the Metrolink.
Does the karate background mean I have to do martial arts?
Not at all. Rob’s 12+ years of karate shapes the discipline, conditioning and mindset he brings to coaching — it does not mean you will be throwing kicks in your first session. Your programme is built around your goals, whether that is weight loss, muscle tone, general fitness or simply feeling stronger and more confident in your own body.
What happens on a free consultation?
A free consultation is a relaxed 20 to 30 minute chat with Rob at PureGym Altrincham. You talk through your goals, training history, lifestyle and any concerns or injuries. There is zero pressure to book sessions afterwards — the point is for both of you to see whether Rob is the right coach for you.
How quickly will Rob reply to my enquiry?
Rob replies to every enquiry personally within 24 hours. WhatsApp is the fastest route and usually gets a same-day response. Email and form submissions are answered in the order they come in — but never left longer than a day.
