Founder and Head Coach

Chris Melhuish

Hey everyone, I’m Chris, the founder and owner of Ultimate Health and Fitness.

I’ve been in the fitness industry for 20+ years and my journey has taken me through some incredible experiences.

My Journey

I started out working in commercial gyms before taking my skills overseas, working on cruise ships and training clients from all walks of life.

In 2013, I took the leap and opened my very own personal training facility and by 2017, we had grown into the amazing space we have today.

As a hybrid athlete, I love challenging myself across different areas of fitness strength, endurance and performance.

But beyond training, my biggest role is being a proud dad of four.

I understand the challenges of balancing family, work and fitness, which is why I’m so passionate about helping others build strong, sustainable and healthy lifestyles.

Ultimate Health and Fitness isn’t just a gym, it’s a community built to support and push each other to be better every day.

Meet The Coaches

Hannah Brocklesby

Hi! I’m Hannah – one of the coaches at Ultimate Health and Fitness.

I’m a fully qualified level 3 personal trainer and coach who has worked at UHF since 2023.

It’s my passion to support others to become the very best versions of themselves, whether working with me 1:1 or through one of my SGPT sessions.

In my spare time, I run, strength train and compete. I guess you might say I’m a hybrid athlete with Hyrox, Turf Games, Spartan and Deadly Dozen events under my belt!

Outside of the gym, I’m a part time headteacher, wife and mum of 2. I fully understand what it’s like to balance family life, work and your own self care. It may sound impossible at times – but it can be done!

You’ll likely find me with a smile on my face, dancing around the gym to my varied taste in music It’s my happy place – what more can I say?

Meet The Coaches

Jackson Goodrum

My name is Jackson and I operate a 1:1 coaching service out of Ultimate Health & Fitness.

A bit about me… After ditching a corporate career in London, I took the leap to follow my true passion and have been coaching people to transform how they approach fitness, nutrition and overall wellbeing ever since.

What sets my coaching apart? Well, in short, I’m laser focused on genuine transformation – not quick fixes and fads. Although we’re going to have a bit of fun with it, I’m here to help you cut through the noise of this industry and prioritise real change.

Since recovering from major spinal surgery following a sports injury, I’ve developed a passion for longevity – because what’s the point of getting fit if you can’t enjoy it for decades to come?

Whilst I *try* not to take myself too seriously, I do take my work seriously! As such I’m also continually investing in my own professional development, which has led me to complete some of the best available courses from around the world.

Off-duty, I’m hiking Scottish mountains, playing in my garden or occasionally racing cars way too fast at circuits around the uk (don’t tell my mum).

I love being part of the team here at UHF. It’s an absolutely fantastic space to come and train!

It’s got everything we need to make fantastic progress towards your goals.

Any questions in the meantime? Then just call, message or email me! It’s always a pleasure to meet new faces so don’t hesitate to get in contact or say hello if you see me around.

Danielle Valliere

Hi, I’m Danielle! I’m a qualified Level 3 Personal Trainer and pre-postnatal specialist, with over 20 years of experience in the fitness industry.

I’ve been working at UHF since July 2019, helping people achieve their fitness goals and build healthier, stronger lives.

I’m passionate about empowering individuals to embrace movement, enjoy exercise and experience the mental and physical benefits of a healthy lifestyle.

Over the years, I’ve taught everything from spin and boot camps to swimming and group training.

I’ve also taken part in the London marathon, Robin Hood Half and the Derby 10k as well as well as various obstacle races, including Spartan, Wild Warrior and Mud Runner, but my true love lies in hiking and exploring the great outdoors.

As a mom of two boys, I understand the challenges of balancing life and fitness. I’m here to help you overcome obstacles, find joy in movement and create a healthier lifestyle – all while having fun!

Meet The Coaches

Phoebe

Hi everyone! I’m Phoebe, a fully qualified level 2 fitness coach at Ultimate Health and Fitness.

My love for the fitness industry started when I began training with my strength and conditioning coach and the results I saw both physically and mentally, inspired me to help others achieve their goals, just as my coach did for me.

Outside of coaching, I am a competitive swimmer and I spend most of my spare time in a pool or the gym – basically my second home! 

I will always be smiling and bringing the energy to the SGPT classes held here at UHF!

Hopefully bringing a smile to your face too.

My aim is to guide and support you through your fitness journey and make sure we not only hit goals but exceed them!

I’m excited to work with you all and help you become the best version of yourself!

Meet The Coaches

John Oldfield

Hi, I’m John!

With nearly 20 years of experience as an ASCC Strength and Conditioning Coach, my background in sports training runs deep.

Before that, I worked extensively with the British Judo Association as both a coach and competition referee, gaining invaluable experience in high-performance training and athletic development.

Throughout my adult life, I’ve trained across various disciplines, refining my expertise in sports coaching, competition conditioning, and overall well-being.

I’m passionate about helping people unlock their full potential – both physically and mentally.

By understanding individual strengths, tolerances, and limitations, I’m able to tailor my coaching approach to ensure effective, sustainable progress.

My objective is to provide the right guidance and support, building confidence in training while celebrating every milestone, no matter how small.

Years of consistent training across multiple disciplines have given me a broad, adaptable coaching style. Whether in small-group personal training (SGPT) sessions or working one-on-one, I strive to create an engaging and supportive environment that motivates and challenges members.

I look forward to helping you push past limits, achieve your goals here at UHF and enjoy the journey along the way!
