Craig Sohail
Qualified Personal Trainer. Kickboxing specialist. Strength and fat loss expert. With decades of experience training people from every background imaginable, Craig brings a depth of knowledge and genuine care that sets Renu Active apart.
Based at Renu in Bourne, Lincolnshire, Craig founded Renu Active to offer a premium, personalised training experience that goes beyond the typical gym session.
Background
Decades of Real-World Experience
Craig's journey in fitness began long before personal training became mainstream. With a deep passion for martial arts, he immersed himself in kickboxing, developing not just physical skill but an understanding of how disciplined training transforms both body and mind.
Over the decades, Craig has worked with an extraordinary range of clients — from young professionals looking to lose weight, to older adults rebuilding strength after injury, to athletes seeking a competitive edge. This breadth of experience means he's encountered virtually every challenge and knows how to adapt his approach accordingly.
His expertise in fat loss goes beyond simple calorie counting. Craig understands the hormonal, psychological, and lifestyle factors that influence body composition, and he designs programmes that address all of these elements for sustainable, long-term results.
As co-owner of Renu — Bourne's premier health, beauty, and fitness studios — Craig has built a reputation for delivering premium experiences. Renu Active is the natural evolution of that commitment: personal training that's as thoughtful and refined as it is effective.
Approach
Training Philosophy
Listen First
Every client is different. Before writing a single programme, I take the time to understand your history, your challenges, and what truly motivates you.
Build Foundations
Whether you're a complete beginner or returning after years away, we start with solid movement patterns. Rushing leads to injury; patience leads to lasting results.
Progressive Challenge
Your body adapts, so your training must evolve. I design programmes that progressively challenge you, keeping sessions engaging and results consistent.
Holistic Wellbeing
Training is only part of the picture. As part of the Renu family, I take a whole-person approach — considering nutrition, recovery, stress, and lifestyle.
