Stu Hughes
Coach at CrossFit Shropshire

Built on Elite Service. Dedicated to Local Community. When it comes to discipline, mental toughness, and knowing how to perform under pressure, Coach Stu Hughes operates at the highest level. Stu spent his formative years serving as a Royal Marine from age 18 to 24, developing an elite understanding of physical fitness and resilience. After his military service, he transitioned into saving lives closer to home, joining Shropshire Fire and Rescue alongside our founder, Graham. Today, Stu serves our local community as a full-time firefighter, bringing that same passion for safety, teamwork, and peak performance onto the gym floor as a part-time coach. Stu lives and breathes physical fitness. Because of his background, he knows exactly how to help you break through mental barriers, scale movements safely, and build a body that is truly useful in the real world. Despite his high-octane background, Stu is one of the most approachable, grounded guys you will ever meet. When he isn’t at the fire station or coaching on the gym floor, Stu loves nothing more than spending quality time with his wife, Kelly, and taking their two beautiful Siberian Huskies out for adventures. He is here to show you that with the right mindset, no obstacle is too big to overcome.
