Sean has a dynamic and gregarious nature to his coaching style, loves his coffee, black with cream. He has a passion for being a strength athlete with an appetite for doing things right and an even bigger appetite for toasted teacakes. Best known for calling out the BS in the fitness industry, that has kept many a trainer stuck in the old school, no results mentality.
Sean is on a personal mission to change the way the fitness industry trains its clients with a non-BS approach and has a proven track record. A fully accredited Strength and Conditioning Coach (UKSCA), who likes to socialise with the odd Gin and a game of rugby, loves good home cooked food (that the missus doesn't burn), soul music and of course, strength training.

The personal training you'll find at SC Vital is not the same as the personal training you'd get at your local big box or council-run gym. We could sit here and write for hours about how every member of our team has extensive knowledge, years of experience, and a host of diverse qualifications. But actually, what we'd rather talk about is their approach to training.
We think of ourselves as a family - a tightly knit group of people with similar goals who work together to achieve results. We believe it's the right atmosphere for people to really flourish. Your simple first step is to join our no-obligation 30-day trial. It's a great way to get a feel for our approach and decide if the gym is the right fit for you.
Starting this course will have you Looking and Feeling great with new-found confidence for the rest of your life! If the answer is YES, and you are willing to invest 41 per week, then the Foundation Transformation program could be just what you are looking for. Below you will find several recent testimonials.

It took me 2 years to find the courage to cross the threshold of SC vital fitness and I am so glad that I took that leap of faith. I hadn’t been to the gym in years and when I did go it was a chore and I never stayed the distance. I didn’t believe in lifting much more than a pencil, if I’m honest, and I wasn’t convinced squats and lunges were for me! Fast forward 12 months and I certainly haven’t regretted joining. Why? Eating better, sleeping better, weight loss and I am stronger than I’ve ever been (Weights, Squats and lunges are no longer dirty words!) SC vital fitness has helped

I'd never joined a gym before - I found the idea stressful, and the thought of having no idea what I was doing, surrounded by people who did, really intimidating.
I'd only ever played football, or run, for fitness previously, but had decided I wanted to get stronger overall and lose my lockdown belly, this year instead. So... I followed a friend's recommendation, and signed up for the six-week Foundation Course at SCVF, in July.
I was nervous on the first day. For about 30 seconds! Joining with a group of other newbies really helped, but it was the coaches who helped me settle straight away

I've never been, or wanted to be a gym bunny. I've not been near a gym for over 20 years when the only appeal was to try and slim down for my wedding. Having bought kit to use at home I lacked motivation and even when using it I was just pedalling faster or pushing/pulling more. I wasn't achieving anything.
After a year of lockdowns i'd piled on more weight, felt lethargic, ached constantly and was sleeping badly. I saw an advert for SCVF and a spur of the moment decision led to me attending the foundation course a couple of days later. I could barely move for a week! I persevered and knew I needed

Incredibly knowledgeable bunch, friendly and commited.
They know their stuff, from nutrition to injury prevention.
Your body is the most valuable asset you have.At SCVF you'll make progress towards your goals faster than anywhere else.
You don't have to be super fit to join. Lots of different levels but everyone is made to feel welcome which is awesome.
SCVF are a safe pair of hands that will guide you along the journey. Glad I joined, only regret is I didn't do it sooner.

Just finished a move session at SC vital fitness . This is awesome every week . I never would have thought at my age 62 I could regain such flexibility, mobility and strength. It also fits my need for variation and creativity . The sessions are different each time thus maintaining my motivation and interest.
These coaches are Legends and top of the class.
I love this gym 😍

I have moved out of the area and I'm absolutely gutted to have to leave this gym after almost 2 years as a member. I used to be one of those people that joined the gym as part of a New Year's resolution, and by mid-Feb I was resenting the monthly fee whilst sitting on the sofa! But SCVF is not your typical gym - it's small group training, and the coaches are excellent - they make the sessions fun, challenging & personalised. I used to take presciption painkillers for back pain every day, but I am now mostly pain-free and take no regular medication. This is an incredible gym - no mirrors & no egos

I have completed the 30 day free trial and have now signed up as it is the best gym I have ever been to. It is more than a gym- the friendly and professional coaches guide you through every workout ensuring your form is correct and motivating you to work to your best ability. As someone rehabilitating a knee injury I feel confident that I will be back to full fitness and stronger than I have ever been before. I would definitely recommend this gym. Start the 30 day free trial- you've nothing to lose!

I joined SC Vital Fitness just over a year ago, this is one of the best decisions I've ever made. I can honestly say SC is like no other gym I've been too! Each session is adapted to your goals and abilities.
The coaches and members (LEGENDS) are always friendly, full of support and motivation. All of this and the events held make SC completely unique!

I have been a member of pretty much every gym in Portsmouth at one time or another, however this is the longest I have kept my training up and for the first time in my life I genuinely enjoy going to the gym. I attend at least 5 times per week.
At SC Vital Fitness you not only get great coaching and advice on nutrition but you also get to join the team. Everyone that attends, from the coaches to the members, all have the same goal and everyone really motivates one another to be better. There are no egos at this gym and I couldn’t recommend this place anymore highly.
