Shout out to my brother for getting these snaps at the .dozen UK Champs last month.

What they show is someone with incredible business branding but someone who can not stand the rays of the sun 🤣

What a whopper of a day. A day I was humbled by heat.

Journey and labour 1 and 2 were a breeze - the other 10 were quite honestly just survival mode.

I've been laughing about my near death experience but it's literally lit fire in me hotter than this day to be better and stop coasting along with above average fitness!

I'm locked back in. Training block is solid and I'm working to prove to myself that I can beat this version of me.

P.S. bucket hats, truckers hats, umbrellas, co ords, t shirts, air fresheners, plastic cups, bags, flags, pens all coming soon 🤭

NuclearFit 3rd place 🥉

Chuffed with this one! A small come back after post stag do sniffles this time last year!

38.43, enough to push in to third position on the day. An incredible 5+ minutes faster than before. What a buzz!

My performance is improving this year. Balancing a heavy work schedule, running the gym, Private PT, Small Group PT, Fire Service and the Events company does take its toll but I've promised myself this season to keep pushing, to prioritise the training!

Loving the Nuclear team and comminuty feel of this event. It's very inclusive, an event for everyone and I'm proud to say that The Functional Fitness Suite, in Thetford, Norfolk is an affiliated gym.

Somewhere we can make you push harder than you currently are, coach in different ways than you're used to and help you achieve more!

Shout out to Coach for scooping up 1st place and improving his males solos time by 2 minutes.

Definitely putting Thetford on the podium 🐯

Thanks to Mrs for the snaps 📸

A fantastic weekend again and as you'll read, people are out there doing their thing - we support, encourage and celebrate this!

The coaching team went away and absolutely had it at Nuclear Fit ☢️ a brand we're proud and privileged to be an affiliate gym for at The Functional Fitness Suite

Achieving two podium positions was unexpected but not a shock - we train extremely hard and know how to acheive from years of bespoke programming.

The girls stepped up for their first ever fitness event and we're so proud of them.

Being part of the Tiger Fitness community genuinely keeps me moving, happy and so inspired by the members who come in and get it done week in, week out.

The round up usually only covers the bits outside the gym with a small insight to what actually happens within the gym.

I understand fitness racing isn't for everyone- and that's not why we train.

We train for everyday life, to make doing the daily chores and work easier and to have a better quality of life.

So to every Tiger Fitness member - thank you for coming in, getting it done and showing that every session you're willing to work on yourself and do your bit to make this Tiger Fitness community exactly what it is today 🧡

Hi guys,

It's been a while since i've done a reintroduction on my page so to all my new followers, here's a little about me.

I’m Richard Taylor, Personal Trainer, owner and head coach at Tiger Fitness and The Functional Fitness Suite

With over 10 years of coaching experience, I’m passionate about helping people build strength, confidence, and long-term fitness through smart, structured training.

Alongside running my coaching business, I also serve as a retained firefighter, which has strengthened my focus on discipline, teamwork, resilience, and high performance.

I'm also co owner with my beautiful wife of an events company called Tiger Events East Anglia

I specialise in Fitness Racing, building strength through range of motion and bringing people together to improve their mental wellbeing.

I currently run eight small-group PT sessions per week, alongside offering 1-to-1 and 1-to-2 personal training from my own private gym.

Outside of coaching, I enjoy photography and exploring National Trust sites with my wife, which helps keep balance, creativity, and perspective in both life and work.

If you' like to speak about joining our fantastic small group PT sessions or perhaps you are after a more personalised programme, then please reach out.
