About me, Darren Cutler

A professional and experienced Fitness Coach and Sports Therapist, I have been a qualified Personal Fitness Trainer for over 20 years, as well as a UKSCA-accredited Strength & Conditioning Trainer.

Having experienced serious health problems — including undergoing open-heart surgery in 1999 and 2025 — I have made it my personal mission to make elite-level health and fitness training available to all.

I specialise in Sports Performance and Exercise Prescription for the Management of Disease, which allows me to work with a wide spectrum of clients, ranging from those with health or mobility issues to semi-pro athletes, including football players and ultra-marathon runners.
