Steve Dougherty

Hi, my name is Steve and I’m a Personal Trainer here at Puregym Sunderland. I’ve been a member of the team at Sunderland for over 6 years now and have over 25 years of training experience to go along with the knowledge I’ve gained as a PT.

I started my fitness journey as a teenager, I was very skinny and found it difficult to build muscle initially, it was this period where I really found my passion for weight training. Later in my 30’s I found myself gaining a lot of weight after getting married and starting a family. After setting myself a plan and losing around 40lbs I decided I wanted to help people change their lives and bodies in the same way I had and completed my Personal Training Qualification.

There are so many benefits to fitness, not just the physical benefits but there are benefits to your mental health too. Strength Training has helped me not only transform my body but also deal with stress and anxiety.

So if you’re looking to build muscle, lose weight, get stronger or even just feel more confident around the gym why not drop me a message or catch me in the gym to discuss how I can help you reach your goals
