Wayne Finnerty
I have been involved in boxing since age 12. As an amateur boxer, I had over 30 fights and became County Champion, gaining wins against a National Champion. ​ My last fight was a charity match, proof ‘I could still do it’ as I won that bout in my forties. I attribute that to the core training and discipline I learnt from my years in boxing. Following this, I jumped at the opportunity of becoming a Boxing Coach with 10 Count Boxing Gym. I have now been coaching for 7 years and have gained England Boxing Level 1 and Level 2 Coaching Qualifications. I knew I always wanted to give back to the sport that I loved as a youngster and my passion now lies within helping and supporting our boxers to gain confidence, face their fears and achieve their potential through hard work, determination and dedication.
Lady Shape Instructor / Personal Trainer/Coach
Bev Lownds
I started as a gym member who decided to make a lifestyle change. I always dreamt of being a trainer but mild depression held me back. Once I started attending the gym, my mental state shifted and my self confidence was given a boost. It was like medicine for building my confidence not just with my body appearance but mostly my mind set. ​ With both the help, support of the Ten count team and my own new found determination, I worked my way to becoming a trainer and now having my own classes. I am very proud of my achievements in fitness and my association with the Ten count team who supported me. I am available for 1-2-1 consultations at any time during the week. I am personable, encouraging with a keen eye for detail that allows me to map the best plan to attain your best goals. Check out the lady shapes page for more details
