ABOUT THE OWNER
SOPHIA GAIQUI
My career used to be in engineering, procurement and business development. But as exercising and helping people have always been important to me it became more and more obvious that what I should be doing is coaching, so I took the plunge and changed direction.
I started with a blend of corporate and coaching, but once I realised my ambition of becoming a full-time coach I have never looked back. Now being part of the Immerse Gyms team, as an owner and coach, is a dream come true.

MY BEST ADVICE
Fall forwards – everything you do is an experience from which you can learn.
THE COACHES
SOPHIA GAIQUI
I live in Belper with my children Charlie and Florence and spend most of my spare time (what’s that!) with my family. I love crafting and making things with my daughter and all of us enjoy travelling and trying new experiences. I used to cycle and ride my motorbike, but that’s on hold now as I devote more time to my career in fitness and coaching.
I am a qualified British weightlifting Level 2 Coach, CrossFit Level 1 Coach, rehab and specialist coach and am Kettlebells and TRX accredited.
KATE GASIOR
I admit to being a workaholic so I never seem to have any spare time, but I adore what I do and as it all revolves around gym and sport, Immerse Gyms fits in perfectly with my life. I have Level 2 Gym, Level 3 PT and Level 3 Sports Therapy qualifications and I am also a Fascia and Emotional Release practitioner.
There are obviously times when I’m not working and then I love nothing more than enjoying good food – I’ll eat anything but I especially love a freshly baked loaf of bread.
JOHNNY MCGRATH
I currently work at Derby College as a CSW with a Level 2 in BSL and love coaching alongside. I have grown up surrounded by martial arts. I started kickboxing at 11 years old wanting to know how to defend myself at school. I have just over 16 years experience in the sport and Honoured with my 1st degree black belt in kickboxing.
I had the opportunity to train/learn with high level fighters in MMA alongside coaching, some of which are associated with the UFC. I have participated previously in training Muay Thai, Japanese Jiujitsu and Brazilian Jiujitsu. I still continue to train and travel to gyms to develop my own skill set.
