COACH FIRST.
TEACHER ALWAYS.
Richard Agar is a Level 3 certified personal trainer in Alfreton, specialising in weight loss, muscle tone, and strength development. Based at PureGym Alfreton on Nottingham Road, he serves Alfreton, Ripley, and Riddings — both in person and online.
Health and fitness has been the through-line of Richard's life — first as a secondary school PE teacher shaping how teenagers moved, then as a rugby player learning what his own body was capable of, and now as a coach turning everything he knows into plans that work for everyone else.
That teaching background matters. It means he knows how to break a complicated movement into something you'll actually remember on Monday morning. It means he watches your form like it's an exam — because the difference between progress and injury usually lives in the small stuff. And it means when you say "I don't get it," he hears opportunity, not frustration.
