The best Personal Trainer in Hove
Hove is one of the most active places to live on the south coast, with miles of seafront promenade, Hove Lawns and the leafy parks of West Hove perfect for outdoor training. I work with Hove clients at home, in private studios near Church Road and Western Road, and outdoors along the seafront from the King Alfred to Hove Lagoon.
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.
