At Phoenix, fitness is considered the cornerstone of personal development. If players want to reach their potential, being physically fit is crucial.
Through our professional fitness coach, Lucy, we have a partnership with FORGE GYM, which players have the opportunity to utilise for their personal gain.
Standard training sessions also have a strong emphasis on fitness, with both group and personalised sessions to suit the needs of the players.
The Phoenix coaches recognise the growing trend of female football players suffering injuries, including ACL. As a consequence fitness sessions are designed to build core strength to reduce injuries. Close and honest communication with players and parents is vital and time is spent to understand each players personal fitness and wellbeing journey. When rest is needed, rest is given as our players wellbeing is an absolute priority!
Lucy joined Phoenix in the 25/26 seasons. She is a fitness coach based in Bedford running Shift Worker Coaches & The Forge Hydrox Gym.
Lucy has been training since her late teens and brings over 20 years of lived experience balancing strength, discipline and the realities of shift work. She knows exactly what it takes to stay fit, fuel well and build healthy habits, and she coaches with that same honesty and grit.
Her love of CrossFit and competing pushed her to qualify as a PT, driving a career built on continuous growth and high standards. Lucy's coaching style is direct, empowering and confidence building. She helps people trust their abilities, push past limits and make progress that actually sticks.
She’s equally passionate about shaping the next generation. As a youth girl's football coach, Luce focuses on confidence, movement quality and strong lifestyle foundations giving young athletes the tools to grow into resilient, capable adults.
Lucy stands for progress, empowerment and community. Whether supporting a shift worker rebuilding routine, a first time lifter finding their feet or a young athlete discovering their strength, she brings energy, belief and a relentless commitment to helping people become their strongest versions.
