About Kim

Hey, I’m Kim – the newest addition to the soundest gym in Wakefield.

Since the first day I stepped into a gym with my first ever PT, I found a love for doing scary things and proving to myself I’m stronger & more capable than my mind sometimes lets me believe. This progressed into a passion of helping other women believe the same in themselves.

As a PFCA qualified Personal Trainer and online women’s health & fitness coach, I’m a big advocate for health and fitness not being a “quick fix” or taking over your life entirely – you can be focused, strong, fit & healthy whilst still enjoying life and not taking things too seriously. Having worked in the Public Sector for most of my adult life, I appreciate the challenges that come with shift work & a busy schedule whilst still working toward your goals.
I’m a bit of a mixed bag when it comes to training – I love pushing the limits on what my body can do and regularly train a mix of strength, Hyrox-style training and (reluctantly) running, and believe training should never be a chore.

So whatever your preferred style of training is, or if you’re wanting to give something new a go, we’ll work on a program to suit you individually. There’s no one-size-fits-all.

About Amy

Hi, I’m Amy, the in-house physiotherapist here at Astar!

I began my journey in the health and fitness industry 10 years ago as a personal trainer. After a year of working on the gym floor, I realised how challenging it could be to tailor exercises for clients with specific injuries, conditions, or unique biomechanics. To better support my clients, I completed my Level 3 and 4 qualifications in Sports Massage Therapy. While this added to my skillset, my curiosity and passion for making a real difference led me to pursue further higher education. Four years later, I proudly graduated with a first-class degree in Physiotherapy.

During my NHS placements, I discovered that my ethos and approach to rehabilitation didn’t fully align with the system. For me, rehabilitation is about taking the time to truly listen to my clients, building their confidence in movement, and helping them regain the ability to do the things they love, free from pain, injury, or limitations.

This is how Redemption Physiotherapy came to life. The name “Redemption” reflects the journey of reclaiming something you’ve lost. Having faced a few injuries myself, I know firsthand how it feels to lose your sense of identity and purpose when you’re unable to do the things you love.

I’m registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP).

If you think I can help, don’t hesitate to get in touch. I’d love to support you on your journey to recovery!

Amy's Qualifications

• Level 3 Personal Trainer
• Level 3 Sports Massage
• Level 4 Sports Massage and injury management
• Advanced techniques in
• Acupuncture
  Instrument assisted myofascial release
• BSc Honours in Physiotherapy

About Katie

As I child I was always very active and danced for 16 years, then I had kids and my own fitness took a back seat. Once they got older I joined a gym and was terrified. It wasn’t until I started working with a Personal trainer who understood my struggles and helped me develop a sustainable, healthy lifestyle that I eventually grew to just love that feeling and the gym environment.

I soon realised I had a passion for it and wanted to help others who were nervous or new to the gym. I believe that everyone deserves to feel confident and comfortable in their own skin, and I’m passionate about helping my clients achieve their fitness goals through personalized training plans and unwavering support.

About Steve

Hi , My name is Steve. I’m 47yrs old and have over 15 yrs experience in the fitness industry. I’ve trained in everything, from grappling to CrossFit and Squash to Hyrox. Over the years I have pretty much covered all fitness bases, including fitness photoshoots!

I take learning and coaching very seriously and invested into myself by doing multiple course’s. But as the old saying goes you can’t beat experience! And luckily, I have both!

In recent years I have slowed down my training techniques and now focus on a much more functional, body awareness approach to my training and coaching.

I predominantly use kettlebells to really enhance my coaching, training people to connect with muscle memory and mobility.
