Ivan Young – Founder & Head Coach
Ivan is the founder and lead coach of Stay Young PT. Before becoming a personal trainer he spent 20 years as a Finance Director — so he understands exactly what it means to be time-poor, stressed and out of shape. After a heart attack, he lost 20kg, reversed type 2 diabetes and rebuilt his body from scratch. That lived experience is the foundation of everything he does.
He now works with adults aged 40–80 who want to get stronger, move without pain and stay independent for longer — especially those with complex injury histories, GP referrals or chronic health conditions.
