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.
RICHARD BREWIN
I’ve worked in the fitness industry for over 25 years, helping countless clients—from athletes competing at a high level to individuals simply looking to move better, feel stronger, and improve their overall wellbeing.
As well as one-to-one personal training, I’m passionate about group fitness and have taught a wide range of classes over the years, including circuits, Body Combat, and indoor cycling.
I hold a Level 2 Gym Instructor qualification, Level 3 Personal Training certification, Level 2 Circuit Training qualification, and I’m also a qualified Pad Box instructor.
My approach is all about motivation, encouragement, and creating sessions that are effective, enjoyable, and sustainable.
