Where Olcote Wellbeing began...
I’m Iain and I'm the founder of Olcote Wellbeing. A small, local (but passionate) business I've built over the years promoting health, fitness and well being to all. Finding fitness strategies that work for you.
Olcote Wellbeing has evolved over time as it was born out of a change in my own life.
I was diagnosed with a complex, rare and life threatening medical condition in my early thirties which had a significant impact on my life. Determined to keep active and as healthy as possible to help my body remain as strong, protect my bone density from deterioration, keep focused, mentally strong and keep my ‘trade mark’ positive attitude, I turned fully to my love of fitness. Making it my business not just my passion.
Having trained hard and concentrated on weight bearing activity I began to see and feel the benefits proper fitness regimes can bring. I continued with my passion for Yoga that I had practised as a teenager, studying further, training as a teacher to help others discover the benefits of this whole way of life, building strength in mind and body.
As the years have gone by I have continued to turn my own fitness journey into training hard and studying further to help others more on their own goals to fitness and well being.
I am fully qualified, experienced and insured in the following:
Full Yoga Teacher qualification with over 36 years practice

“I have had the pleasure of knowing Iain for many years, during which time I have grown to admire his focus, values and motivational skills. He is a very determined man, implanting in those around him the courage to achieve much more than they may, originally, have perceived for themselves.
Iain’s ‘I can really do this’ attitude is infectious’…….It motivates all towards achieving much more than they ever thought possible of themselves.
I have no hesitation in recommending his skills. You can - and may - then become a ‘Winner,’ like this affable and modest young man.
