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.

JAMIE Stuart
Sport and fitness have 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. 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 loves carrot cake, the mountains, surfing and strongly dislikes middle lane drivers!!
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.
