ABOUT
Steve Dickinson
Founder
Hi, I'm Steve Dickinson, founder of What A Life Fitness.
One thing you'll quickly discover about me is that I genuinely love what I do. Helping people become healthier, stronger, and more confident isn't just my career—it's my passion.
Over 13 years ago, I made the decision to leave a successful 26-year career in the Army and the telecommunications industry to follow that passion. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made, and I've never looked back.
Sport and fitness have always been a huge part of my life. Having played football, rugby, and competed in swimming, I understand the positive impact that exercise can have on both your physical and mental wellbeing. Today, my goal is to help as many people as possible improve their health, fitness, and lifestyle through enjoyable, personalised coaching.
I believe that every client deserves 100% commitment, and that's exactly what I give. In return, I simply ask that you commit to yourself and the process. Together, we'll work towards achieving goals you may never have thought possible.
Running is another of my passions. I've completed everything from 5K races to 69-mile ultramarathons and have proudly finished the London Marathon six times. Whether you're taking your first steps as a runner, training for your next event, or looking to improve your technique and endurance, I have the knowledge and experience to help you succeed. I'm also a qualified UK Athletics Level 2 Endurance Coach and a certified Barefoot Running Technique Instructor.
Whatever your goal—losing weight, getting fitter, building confidence, improving your running, or simply leading a healthier lifestyle—I'd love to be part of your journey.
If you're ready to make a positive change, I'd be delighted to help.
I look forward to meeting you and supporting you every step of the way.
