Top fitness tip: Make sure you’re working your glutes. It’s so common to find athletes with “weak” or “dysfunctional” glutes. Make simple glute exercises a regular feature in your training week.

Jamie is the latest triathlete to join the Kinetic Sports family! Having swum competitively as a kid, Jamie went on to compete at national level in Modern Pentathlon and Tetrathlon before finding Triathlon at Loughborough Uni. He frequented the British elite series through his twenties and took bronze at the 2013 age-group worlds. A puncture at the Ironman 70.3 worlds in Canada lost him the lead 30k into the bike. As a 6 ft 3, 2:39 marathoner and sub-16 5k runner, Jamie has overcome countless injuries and vouches very personally for the importance of coaching, physio, sports massage and s&c as part of every athlete’s regular training cycle. There are no shortcuts…
In 2023, Jamie left his corporate career to retrain as a Physio. He’s due to graduate from UWE in 2026 and is passionate about enabling endurance athletes of all disciplines and abilities to do the things they love. He qualified as a sports massage therapist in 2022, achieving his L4 advanced techniques in 2025. He’s also a BTF L3 triathlon coach and occasional BAD Tri swim coach.

Coach: Running, S&C
Sport has always been a huge part of Lauren's life. She grew up as a competitive swimmer before making the switch to netball as a teenager. Over the last five years She has found a passion for running, starting with shorter, faster events before exploring endurance and trail running in 2026, and hasn’t looked back since. Experiencing different sports has given her a real appreciation of the physical and mental challenges that come with training, racing and recovering from injury.
As a physiotherapist, her goal is to help people stay active and continue doing what they love. Whether you're recovering from an injury, preparing for your next event or looking to improve your long-term performance, she loves working with you to understand the root cause of the problem and create a plan that fits your goals. Alongside rehabilitation, she has a strong focus on strength and conditioning, injury prevention and building resilience so you can keep performing for years to come.
