Josh SUMMERSGILL
Performance Coach
“Nobody has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for any person to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which their body is capable”
– Socrates
About Me
My name is Josh Summersgill and I believe that every person on the planet deserves to reach their true physical potential, and optimal health and wellbeing in life. My true passion is helping people achieve what they previously believed to be impossible. Whether that is to compete in the sport of Weightlifting, build the body that they have always dreamt of, or just simply develop their confidence and excel.
As a performance coach I have studied and practiced in a number of training disciplines including Martial Arts, Gymnastics and Functional Fitness, this has led me to my specialist area and niche, Olympic Weightlifting. I am proud to say that I am a certified British Weightlifting Coach and have been helping people for over 8 years to become stronger, and improve their Olympic Lifting Skills. During this time I have had the privilege of coaching over 500 athletes, and witnessed each one of them become more skillful with a barbell.
I am a true believer that you should practice the craft that you teach. I have trained physically since a very young age and I am currently a competitive Senior National Weightlifter and England Championships Medalist.
I wholeheartedly believe that as human beings, we each learn in different ways and have different learning styles. A one size fits all will work great for a robot, but we are not robots. I pride myself in treating each and every one of my clients holistically, with the individuality that they need to develop and progress. This has lead me to develop a “Bespoke Experience” model for my clients.
Your Training Goals
I WANT TO LEARN HOW TO, OR DEVELOP MY WEIGHTLIFTING
The dark art that is Olympic Lifting. The Snatch and The Clean & Jerk are two of the most incredible and fascinating exercises that you will ever see performed in the gym. The benefits of these epic lifts are endless, but only if performed correctly. Whether you are brand new to the barbell and haven’t performed a Back Squat or Deadlift, or you have years of experience from either Weightlifting or Functional Fitness, I am here to take you to the next level!
I WANT TO PURSUE LONGEVITY AND Stay FIT & HEALTHY FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE
What if I told you that you can be stronger, fitter and more mobile than you ever been in your life… in your 60s! Through strength training, metabolic conditioning and mobility work, this is entirely possible. Rather than aim to simply survive in to your 90s, why not aim to LIVE in to them instead!
I WANT MY TRAINING TO COMPLIMENT MY SPORT
Gone are the days of smoking cigarettes at half time and using BurgerKing to hit your macros, we are now in a time where everybody wants to take their sporting performance to the next level. Do you want to be bigger, faster and stronger on the pitch? Or be more nimble and powerful in the ring? Then it’s time for us to introduce some potent Strength & Conditioning.
YES I WANT TO BE STRONG, BUT I WANT TO HAVE THE AESTHETICS TO MATCH
What is the point in spending all that time in the gym, if you don’t look like you go to the gym. To change your physique, grow muscle mass, reduce body fat, and look a certain way, you have to train and eat accordingly. If you want to look in the mirror and be proud of how you look, I am here to help!
I HAVE BEEN DOING FUNCTIONAL FITNESS CLASSES FOR A WHILE NOW, AND WANT TO LEVEL UP
Functional fitness classes are brilliant, they are a great way to improve your health and fitness, whilst training with a group, all in 60 minutes. However, there comes a time for certain people when they begin to want to progress to the next level. Bigger Weightlifting numbers, better high end Gymnastic skills and a faster Benchmark workout time. If this sounds like you…. then let’s go!
I AM PREGNANT AND WOULD LOVE TO CARRY ON TRAINING
Not only is training during and after pregnancy not detrimental, it is hugely beneficial! Not only does it better prepare your body for the stresses of pregnancy, it can help during birth itself, as well as getting you back to your pre-pregnancy activities. The benefits or Pre and Postnatal training are phenomenal, as long as certain training protocols are followed. This is something that I am fortunate enough to be qualified in, as well as being able to help my wife with her training through the birth of both of our sons.

MOVING THE NEEDLE
It gives me the greatest of pleasure to introduce my first book, “Moving The Needle”. Writing a book is something that I have wanted to do for a very long time, and over the moon with the final result!
“Throughout his coaching career, Josh Summersgill realised that the physical adaptations of the people that he coached were extremely important, but they were nothing in comparison to the psychological developments that he witnessed.
These incredible psychological developments and lessons that were uncovered through training are extremely potent when applied to everyday life. These developments are the secrets that Josh wants to share with you!
Whether you seek to improve your physical performance in sport or training, or you want to fortify and bulletproof your mindset to enable you to achieve anything that you set your mind to, it’s time to start Moving The Needle!”

With the perfect balance of understanding, support and tough love.” – Adam Travis, 2002 Commonwealth Weightlifting Championship Medalist

Testimonials
“Josh has been my coach for over 4 years, I can’t see him ever getting rid of me. And whilst that may be much to his dismay, it’s a real testament to just how good he is. Not only is he knowledgeable & innovative, he’s also determined to give each of his clients the very best of himself to reach any goals they have and is always there encouraging and supporting you to be your best.”
Jennifer Victoria
"The best around at what he does. No frills, no nonsense weightlifting/gymnastics. More than just a coach, although through working with Josh both my ability, technique and numbers have improved dramatically, I’ve also gained a lot in other facets of life, especially with regards to the mental attitude towards towards both training and day to day life."
