Name: Ken Culliford
Job title: Head Strength and Conditioning Coach/Director (the boss!)
Tell us about yourself:
I’m originally from NZ but have been in the UK for the last 12 years. I enjoy all sports but my true passions are Rugby and Tennis. I played semi-pro rugby in Australia and the UK finishing my career at Barnes. I also played competitive touch rugby, winning tournaments throughout UK and Europe.How did you get into fitness training?
I started training in the gym at 13 after I wanted to get “BIG” for Rugby, this developed into a lifelong passion for physical improvement and I have trained ever since.
What do you like most about working at Invigorate?
Undoubtedly the clients! The guys we work with are a great bunch of people, some of whom have been with me for over 10 years. It’s great to share experiences, good and bad, as you really get to know the people you work with by working so closely with them. We have to know them be able to motivate, train and support their needs. Our clients feel a little like a family.
What’s your favourite exercise?
Back squat for sure!! It’s easily the best exercise for functional athletes and Mums alike. Its good because it teaches good posture and force production which is important for running and lifting heavy things!!
Fun fact about you?
I have two wonderful children who are by far and away my hardest clients to please!
Qualifications
An exercise Science Degree from Massey University.I am also a qualified nutrition coach. Level 1 Kayak coach.
I am currently working towards my UKSCA Accreditation which is the gold standard of S&C (Strength and Conditioning) in the world. I hope to complete this by the end of 2018.
I was also recently invited to attend world renowned S&C coach Mike Boyles one day Functional strength Certification in LA.

Name:Jordan Griffith
Job title: Personal Trainer, Head of Boxing, Youth Boxing Coach
Tell us about yourself:
I’m a local lad from Richmond Upon Thames. I studied sport science at Richmond College and then went on to become a personal trainer at David Lloyd Raynes Park where I worked for 3 years before joining Invigorate. Being so involved in sport from a young age and loving the competition of sport when I left school I knew I wanted to be involved in the fitness industry.
How did you get into fitness training?
I played football from a young age at a fairly good standard until I got into boxing when I was 13. I became a good boxer and had eight (8) fights, all of which I won and went on to become UKBU Light Middleweight London Champion in September 2015
What do you like most about working at Invigorate?
I really enjoy the mix of people, challenges and programmes that we have to create every day. No day is the same because we work with such a variety of clients, all of who need different things and approaches. From new mums, older sportsmen and women, people training to swim the channel and climb Everest we work with them all. Finding different ways to make sure they achieve their goals whilst keeping their training fun.
We recently established a weekly youth boxing programme the Barnes Boxing Academy which is growing significantly. I get a real kick out of teaching the teenagers the basics of boxing.
What’s your favourite exercise?
Barbell clean and press
Fun fact about you?
I have 7 pairs of the same Nike trainer all in different colours, one for every day of the week.

"The personal training at Invigorate is inspiring, invigorating, bespoke, boutique, fun, sweaty, intense and rewarding. But none of that would be possible without the personal passion brought to each and every one of us by Ken and his team."
