About NewfitUK

You still got that cuppa’? You might want to consider a top up and a GariBaldi!

THAT name...

Yeah. I know. Sounds a bit corporate, doesn't it? Choices we make eh!

Back when I started, I didn't want to be something generic like 'Dave Newton PT'. It's my name, so it sounded boring as f... Also, on every TV show or advert in the mainstream, 'Dave' is usually the absolute nugget, the local dealer or a total Chav. I needed a clean break from the image!

'Newfit' was a play on my surname, Newton. I had, and still have, a load of ideas about how I could incorporate 'New' into the names of my services. That was the main reason behind 'Newfit'. The UK bit got added when I tried to register the domain and name on social media. There was a fashion shop, a gym, and I think a tyre fitter in Australia! Bugger.

Purpose

To help people like you, the Gen Pop, get fitter, become stronger, feel better and live life with a laugh!

I want you to not only feel the proven benefits of increasing your physical activity and cleaning up your nutrition, but to also see that it can be enjoyable, it doesn't have to be gut wrenchingly difficult and is far from boring rabbit food 24/7.

NewfitUK will guide you towards making the choices that will improve your confidence, self worth, health and fitness - basically your all round quality of life.

Why?

More now than ever, you are seeing a decline in your physical and mental health.

The Fitness & Nutrition industry has become a muddle of fallacies, fads, pills, potions and unrealistic expectations set by fake social media imagery and the like. Modern day Barbie’s and Ken’s will sell you anything to make a quick few quid!

To be blunt, it pisses me off.

Through NewfitUK I want to help strip away all the nonsense.

I want you to be fitter, healthier, stronger, happier, more confident and energetic.

It doesn’t have to be an ‘All or Nothing’ approach. For the majority, small changes here and there can lead to big improvements.

Modern lifestyles are not enabling you to live your best life. Honestly, the least you should expect for yourself is to stay fit, healthy and happy.

How?

I’ll meet you where you’re at. Together we’ll forge a plan of attack that’ll benefit you the most and take you towards your chosen goals. No generic off the shelf tat here, leave that to wannabe ‘Fitfluencer’ Barbie and Ken. You’ll have my full support and I can guarantee what we do will be in your best interest. Not to mention we’ll have a laugh along the way.

A quick blab about Me...

My names Dave. Based in Millom, Cumbria. Married. 2 boys. 2 Clownfish. A dog and a Gecko. Not much going on there. I’m a committed family man with a lively and sometimes weird sense of humour, a laid back personality and like most, aspires to live a good hassle free life! I enjoy being around people and having a good chat about anything and everything. I enjoy all sorts of dance music, think I'm an international superstar DJ, when in reality I struggle to mix a protein shake. Oh, and I love a cup of Yorkshire Tea. Get the kettle on!

I’ve had an interest in the world of Fitness and Nutrition for most of my adult life. I really got stuck in when I was about 26. As a fully grown bloke, I weighed in at an almighty 9st7lb or so. Wet through.

So, I started strength training to gain some mass and also looking into nutrition to support the growth. I got up to not far off 13st after, I think, a couple of years, a lot stronger but also a lot fatter! Then I started a slim down and looking into nutrition to support this.

Along the way I’ve tried just about every legal supplement going (trust me, the majority are crap) and played around plenty with my nutrition and programmes. Experimented a lot with all sorts of protocols, read daft amounts of literature and learnt many lessons as time has gone by.

Fast forward to the end of 2018. After a decade in Pharmacy, I decided to look ahead at a career change. I retrained and took up a Level 4 Diploma in Personal Training and Nutrition. Great choice. Come 2021, I was about to turn 40 and shit myself at the thought of spending any more of my life doing something I didn't enjoy. So I handed my notice in and went solo. Bold move but 100% the right one.

With NewfitUK, I’m aiming to bring a much-needed fun, honest, reliable and supportive service. Fully focused on you and where you want to get to.
