Lee Smithies

Hi! My name is Lee or (Smudge), I am a personal trainer and fitness coach here at Pure Gym. Prior to joining the fitness industry, I spent several years of my fitness journey as an Infantry soldier to which led me on to becoming a physical training instructor. This is where my passion for fitness, mind and the body began. I have a desire to understand the mind/body connection and how to help them find balance or equilibrium to work in unity to allow successful and desired outcomes. I believe that the mind in any fitness journey or goal is the first thing we need to discipline and conquer, once we take back control of our mind and negative habits then we can start changing the approach to fitness and wellbeing, to which the body will naturally follow its leader. As a personal trainer it is my responsibility to help you achieve success through providing the tools and guidance to hit your personal goals, I will do that by cutting through the BS and together we can achieve those goals. I have spent many years on my own fitness and weight loss journey and at one point hitting an all-time high on the scales at a whopping 23st 3lbs. My journey still continues! So, let’s work together and achieve greatness.
