The best Personal Trainer in Brighton
Brighton is a vibrant city on the Sussex coast, and a great place to train — whether that's along the seafront promenade between the Palace Pier and Hove Lawns, in Preston Park, or up on the South Downs. I work with Brighton clients in their homes, in private studios across the city, and outdoors at locations from Kemptown and Hanover to Seven Dials and Patcham.
I'm Richard Stantiford, owner of The Lifestyle Physiologist, and have over 30 years experience in health and fitness. I specialise in 10-Week Body Transformations as well as Cardiac Rehabilitation, Diabetes Management, and Weight Management.
I focus on 'Lifestyle Medicine' (rather than prescription drugs) which may include behaviour change, exercise, rehabilitation, managing stress and dietary improvements.
