I’m Dean Stephens, Head Coach at White Tusk Training. With over eight years’ experience as a Personal Trainer, I’ve worked across private PT studios and leading health clubs including David Lloyd and Virgin Active, coaching people of all ages and abilities.

As a competitive powerlifter, I specialise in the technique and coaching of the squat, bench press and deadlift, alongside strength, conditioning and functional training.

At White Tusk, our aim is simple: to create a friendly, inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome. Whether you’re completely new to fitness, looking to improve your health, or an experienced lifter chasing a goal, we offer 1-to-1 PT, Small Group PT, coached classes and open gym access to help you get there.

Before becoming a coach, I worked as a Head Chef and later ran a bespoke meal-prep business catering for athletes and footballers. That experience now comes together with our on-site Mammoth Coffee Shop, which is open to everyone – not just gym members.

Serving coffee from Triple Co Roast, alongside protein pancakes, avocado on toast, brownies and other treats, Mammoth gives you somewhere to train, eat, meet and enjoy a great coffee.

White Tusk is about making fitness accessible, enjoyable and part of everyday life – whatever your age, ability or starting point.
