MEL YOUNG
Personal Trainer / Head Strength & Conditioning Coach / Class Instructor

Hi, I'm Mel and the Owner and Founder of Amazon24 Fitness, I'm 44 and a mum of 1.  I have extensive experience and knowledge within the Sport and Fitness Industry.  I've been a Personal Training for 20 years and have a focus on Strength and Conditioning with athletes, ranging from GB Judo, British ParaCycling, Triathletes, Kickboxing, Swimming, Rugby, Football and UK Athletics.

​

I've been an avid amateur sports athlete all my life playing Prem Hockey, Rugby Union, Kickboxing and Road Cycling.

​

I love empowering people and helping them believe in themselves

​

I like to create and deliver professional and dynamic programmes to ensure my clients achieve their goals using a range of training skills and techniques, as well as assessing function and mobility.  I massively believe that creating the right environment means all abilities can train together in unison.

FUN FACT:

Mel plays classical guitar and has climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro (not at the same time though).  She also loves Rock music and used to live in Australia.

REBECCA OLADELE
Personal Trainer / Strength & Conditioning Coach / Class Instructor

Hi, I'm Rebecca, a 46 year old fit and strong woman, wife and mother of 4 children.  Born and raised in London, I started my initial career in Pharmaceutical Science.  At the age of 32, I fell in love with running.  In 2009, I retrained as an Advanced Personal Trainer because I had a huge passion for health and fitness.

​

FUN FACT:

Rebecca loves musicals, opera and movies (Disney makes her cry!).  At 10 years old, a horror movie scarred her for life and will never watch one again!

​

She doesn't eat chocolate, cheese or drink wine but she loves a big bowl of pasta...even for breakfast!

Louise Dawson
Massage Therapist/Kinesiology Practitioner/Class Instructor
 

Hi, I'm Lou, I'm 49 and a mother of 3 who are now 28, 24 and 20.  I first qualified in 1997 as a group exercise instructor (god, I'm old) and have always been in to fitness and swam competitively as a youngster.

​

I qualified as a sports therapist in 2006 and have added strings to my bow including chiropractor technique and am a practitioner in kinesiology which offers nutritional testing, structural realignments and much more.  

​

I love my classes and want people to feel welcome and comfortable as classes can feel intimidating.  In clinic, I love helping people reduce their pain through realignment and muscle testing.  Treating the body as a whole and balancing them inside and out.

​

FUN FACT:

Lou loves roller skating, coffee and all food especially cheese!
