Named after a horse

The stable

My grandmother trained her horse, Neltina, in this stable. I converted it into the studio I'd always wanted to coach in.

Your coach

I'm Rupert Scrase. I founded NELTINA and I coach every session.

I studied Sport & Exercise Science at university in Leeds, then completed an MSc in Strength & Conditioning. I still train and compete in CrossFit at a high level, so I know what it takes to get stronger, and how it feels when your body isn't cooperating.

Most people who come to NELTINA aren't athletes. They want to feel capable again: lift the shopping without a twinge, keep up with their kids, sleep better, stop dreading stairs. That's the work I love.

That stable was a place of focus, patience and steady progress. I wanted to bring the same thing into how I train people.
