Steve Ward
Director / Trainer
Steve Ward has a degree in Physical Education and Outdoor Education and years of experience assisting people, from first timers to Olympians, attain their goals in health, fitness and well-being. Establishing Mansfield Health and Fitness Centre has provided an opportunity to use and share knowledge gained through 20+ years of teaching PE. This has resulted in a special interest in functional movement, which includes developing programs for young athletes, maintenance and rehabilitation following injury. Having been fortunate to be involved in a wide variety of sporting pursuits, Steve is acutely aware of the need to maintain strength and mobility as we "mature".
