Introducing the Ignite Performance team:

GRAEME DOWNIE

Hi there, my name is Graeme Downie and I am the proud co-owner of Ignite Performance.

My passion from a young age has lay in the field of health, fitness, and nutrition. This deep interest led me to study at the University of the West of Scotland in a Bachelor of Science Sports Coaching & Performance degree in 2007. In tandem with beginning my undergraduate degree, I started my career in the Health & Fitness industry, working firstly as a fitness instructor at a local gym before running my previous Personal Training business.

My strengths are my dedication to my profession, a broad knowledge base in training & nutrition, my personable nature and my ability to teach my clients the necessary techniques to reach their best self. I believe in hard work, commitment and personal accountability – and that you can have results or excuses…but not both!

CHRIS STEWART

Hi, my name is Chris Stewart and I am the co-owner of Ignite Performance.

I have been involved in sport and fitness for most of my life and I have been actively coaching for the last eight years, evolving through working in gyms to working with local GP’s on referral clients and over the last five years, working with one-to-one clients with my former business.

I put my success with clients down to one thing – I care. I care about providing the best service that I can for my clients and this is shown in the results that I produce and the business that we operate.

My passion for health and fitness has seen me invest greatly in my personal development. This has seen me travelling frequently to attend seminars of industry leaders such as Alan Aragon. Among the many certifications I have undertaken in my career I am a Precision Nutrition Practitioner, Obesity and Diabetes Weight Management Specialist and a Certified Strength and Conditioning coach.

Scientific principles with a logical practical application are at the heart of my approach.
