Richard Elston (Professional)

Richard, a self proclaimed fitness fanatic, has been training at the highest level since the age of 13 and has dedicated his time and effort to building an outstanding physique. Football was Richard’s number one sport in which he managed to reach semi-professional level before suffering a knee injury which ended his football career. Yearning to succeed in a sports related field, he completed a 3yr program at Sutton Coldfield College to become a sports coach, advanced football coach and personal trainer. He used his skills, knowledge and playing ability to coach an under 15s football team during his college years before joining David Lloyd leisure as a personal fitness trainer. 


Gaining experience working for a major health club brand, Richard progressed and secured a role at Tropicana Health & Fitness where his knowledge on sport supplementation and nutrition grew thanks to his mentor Mark Gilbert, one of the leading sports and supplement nutritionists in the world, and a very familiar face on fitnessinventor.com, being the Editor-in-Chief.


Richard is now a recognised N.A.S.M. certified personal trainer and an up and coming fitness athlete/model. With pure determination and hard work, Richard was signed by the supplement company Grenade and has been featured in Mens Fitness, MuscleMag, Healthy Men, many supplement company websites, and has enjoyed appearances in various store promotions and fitness events. Dedicating himself to training hard and working hard, Richard has built a solid reputation for himself.
