Meet the Team
Our team is what makes FITSTUFF what it is. We strive to recruit the very best staff, all experienced runners with the technical knowledge to offer the best advice for all your running and fitness needs.
Paul Galley
Paul has worked hard to carefully build FITSTUFF into the store that it is today. Fed up with the number of specialist running shops run by faceless corporations, he wanted to create a runner’s community as much as open a shop. He wanted to listen to the ideas and experiences of each runner and make sure he could cater to their needs individually. He has always been a keen runner himself, representing Surrey both on the track and at cross-country events.
Corinne Davies
For super motivated Corinne just getting out and running is never enough, always planning her next event be it a 50 mile trail run or an Ironman Corinne has been there!
Darrel May
Darrel has been running competitively for over 30 years, covering distances from 800m to marathon. Darrel is a knowledgeable running coach and director of Raced Coaching.
Gemma Read
A local trail runner who likes nothing better than planning and executing new routes round the beautiful Surrey countryside. Gemma can often be found helping at and participating in local trail events and she is a Run Director at Guildford Junior parkrun. She has taken part in most distances from 5k park runs to 100km Ultra runs.
Rhianna Grainger
Rhianna is the newest member of our team and like the rest of the guys really loves her running! She has competed in 300m, 800m and cross-country and she loves to go out running between netball sessions and college.
Philippa Lock
Philippa is a qualified Sports Therapist and a registered Osteopath with a Master’s degree from the London School of Osteopathy. She is a Certified Running Technique Specialist. She has extensive experience of working with both private clients and professional teams.
Theika Botterill
Theika is a sports and musculoskeletal physiotherapist with a BSc (Hons) degree in Physiotherapy from Southampton University. Working for over twenty years, she has a wealth of post-operative rehabilitation experience and a strong sporting background.
Andy Cornelius
Andy holds a degree in Sport Rehabilitation and is currently studying for a MSc in Strength and Conditioning. He is a well-recognised and qualified Running Biomechanics and Technique Specialist with a strong focus on helping runners of all abilities improve their performance and efficiency while reducing the risk of injury.

Tight hip flexor muscles are a common complaint we frequently see in the clinic, which can cause lower back pain, hip and knee problems and weak posterior muscles, such as the glutes.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Try this stretch to help relax the muscles and increase hip mobility⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Position yourself as demonstrated in the photo. Keep your torso upright and tilt your pelvis backwards (by tucking your tail bone under). You should NOT be able to lunge forward in this position.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Maintain a 90 degree angle at the knee.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Raise your hand overhead.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Squeeze your glutes - and hold for 30 seconds on each leg⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

In addition to the shop's free gait analysis for shoe fitting did you know our clinic offers a more in depth look at your gait and running style?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our 30 minute Video Gait Analysis will take an in-depth look at your running technique. You will leave the appointment with advice on how to strengthen your technique and running efficiency and will learn more about specific exercises to help with your drills. Cost - £45⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Alternatively we also offer a 90 minute Runners MOT. This starts with a one-to-one consultation to identify your running goals. It includes a thorough video analysis on our treadmill and a movement screen to help identify your strengths, weaknesses, movement instability or inflexibility. By the end of the session you will have the knowledge of how to run and how to improve, with an in-depth understanding of areas you need to strengthen and a programme to help you achieve your goals. Cost - £95

Today’s society places ever-increasing demands on our time. With the pressure of juggling career, domestic tasks, managing finances, and keeping loved ones safe at this difficult time, it can be hard to concentrate on our own health
.
It’s often only when our health begins to suffer and our body starts to send out alarm bells that we think about focusing on ourselves
.
However, by making a little time for yourself everyday you will reduce the risk of developing a variety of serious health problems
