Gray Caws: Founder & Director
Director of Adventures In Movement, Level 4 specialist Personal Trainer, Run With Ease™ Coach, Buteyko Practitioner, Oxygen Advantage Instructor, Master Kettlebell Coach
"I discovered a passion for health and fitness in 2004. After struggling with niggles and injuries when running, I attended a workshop with ChiRunning founder Danny Dreyer in 2010. This encouraged me to qualify as a Certified Instructor. I also went on to qualify as a Specialist Personal Trainer and Master Kettlebell Coach.
In 2014 I was appointed Master Instructor and Director of ChiRunning UK & Ireland, responsible for the management of ChiRunning across this region. Looking to develop my skill-set further, in 2016 I trained as an Oxygen Advantage Instructor and 2018 as a Buteyko Practitioner with Patrick McKeown.

Luke Rose: Lead Personal Trainer
REPS level 4 professional with Exercise Referral and Lower Back Care qualifications.
Over the last 15 years, I’ve worked with a wide spectrum of clients, with a variety of problems to overcome, and goals to achieve. I’ve become familiar with almost all the equipment and gadgets within the world of fitness and exercise. It has been a pleasure not only to assist people in taking a journey to better health and physiology but to share with them my excitement and satisfaction that comes with learning physical control and movement.
You only get one body, use it, play with it, and enjoy it.
I have a keen interest in biomechanics and the way forces load and react on the body. The three-dimensional spider's web of bones, muscles, and fascia are the keys to comprehending and improving movement and strength. I encourage my clients to understand their own bodies, through self-awareness, and a tactile sense of
Whether you are simply looking to lose weight or symptoms of pain, or training to play sports or trek in the Himalayas, learning how to move with greater control of your strength and fitness are critical tools.
Loliya Harrison: Personal Trainer
Pilates Instructor, Personal Trainer, BANT registered Nutritional Therapist, Massage Therapist, Oxygen Advantage Instructor
“I have a long-standing interest in health and fitness. My journey started in my teenage years when I ran for my county. I also developed a keen interest in how the body works and how nutrition supports health. I took a degree in Physiology and Nutrition and later became a Nutritional Therapist. As I have developed and matured so has my approach to exercise. I am a Soft Tissue and Sports Massage Therapist, a Personal Trainer and Pilates teacher. Emphasis on technique, optimum nutrition, active recovery and adequate rest has helped me to feel healthier, stronger and more energetic. I can help you become a more effective and confident exerciser with an all-around approach to help the body move better.”
Elaine Jackson: Coach
With a background in dance teaching, I started running to enhance my fitness but very quickly realised it was more than that.
I found a sense of freedom and space, which was always welcome at the end of a day in school! Over the years I’ve taken part in various events from 5k to the London marathon in 2016, and subsequently qualified as a running coach in 2017.
My passion lies in helping others to progress, to achieve their own goals but more importantly, enjoy the journey along the way.
I first joined Gray on the Costa Brava Adventure in 2018 and I’m still telling everyone about it now!
Andrew Ritchie: Coach
I'm an Oxygen Advantage instructor, with a specialised interest in heart rate variability. I'm also the founder of Performance Breathworks and an AIM Run With Ease caoch
I have been working in the outdoor health and wellness industry for 20 years and helped thousands of children and adults become more resilient and achieve their goals through a variety of activities.
Currently I work with, corporates, professional and amateur sport, schools, and individuals as well as organising and leading retreats and adventure holidays.
Kevin Chamberlain: Coach
I started running when a friend challenged me to train to run the 2007 London marathon which initially amused most of my friends.
Whilst my first efforts were not a pretty sight, it kickstarted an interest in managing my health, fitness, and wellbeing. I had discovered how to get an amazing sense of freedom and self-worth.
I continued to run a marathon each year and with each year came a new injury that I would need to research and resolve.
I then attended a ChiRunning course with Gray Caws in 2011 which dramatically improved my running efficiency and stopped the injuries. I went on to train as a ChiRunning Instructor and an Oxygen Advantage Instructor to further my knowledge and to help others.
Seeing each run as part of a breath and movement practice was a revelation. I find a holistic practice combining running, functional movement and breathwork have a positive impact on my personal and working life.
I encourage clients to follow a similar approach using the AIM Run With Ease programme.
I currently run a regular running club in London and I teach the AIM Run With Ease programme to small groups and individuals – breathwork, postural structure and bio-mechanical efficiency.
