CrossFit 3D
Trainers
At CrossFit 3D, we believe that training should prepare you for the challenges that life throws at you – the ‘unknown and unknowable’. Our coaches do this by offering an inclusive programme tailored to meet the needs of each and every individual that trains with us.
Michael Madden
Mike has been coaching people to get fit and healthy for over 18 years from 121 sessions to group training.

Mike has coached people from a multitude of backgrounds and abilities, from athletes and fitness professionals to Mums, Dads and office workers. Mike’s passion has always been in helping and teaching ordinary folk just how extraordinary they can be with a little help and guidance.
Jamie Stewart
Sport and fitness has always been a huge focus in Jamie’s life from competing in Downhill mountain biking to Ultra marathons – he’s always loved a challenge.
Jamie spent many years in Thailand training with pro fighters and wakeboarders and it was in Thailand where he found the CrossFit bug. Jamie took up CrossFit in 2016 and immediately enjoyed the variety it brought and he has now been coaching CrossFit for 5 years.
“The golden rule is that everyone starts their fitness journey somewhere be it early years of life or latter – it’s never too late to start your journey”.
In addition to Jamie’s passion for CrossFit he continues training in Mixed Martial Arts and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He also love carrot cake, the mountains, surfing and strongly dislikes middle lane drivers!!
Mark Banner
Mark started CrossFit over four years ago and went onto to compete his CrossFit Level 1 training. He is also a fully qualified PT and loves helping people to get fitter and stronger, not just in the gym but in all areas of their life.
Mark also plays rugby, competes in Thai boxing and is learning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Away from sport he likes to read and get out for long walks and still hasn’t given up on Manchester United winning something one day.

Michael Stretton
Meet Michael, or Strets. Michael has been a member of CrossFit 3D for 11 years and coaches our CrossFit Kids and Teens classes. He’s also the Head of PE at a secondary school so is basically a glutton for punishment.
When coaching our youngest members, Michael loves seeing how much excitement and energy they have and how, for kids, exercise is just another way to play. With our teens classes, he loves helping them push themselves and achieve something they didn’t know they could.
If he’s not at the gym, either training or coaching, he’ll be out with his own kids, making chocolate brownies or enjoying a pint of some pretentious craft beer.
