Meet the Team

Seán Hincks

Joined Careys Manor Hotel in 1997

I have always enjoyed sport and participated in athletics and cross country at school. At Chichester University I gained a Sports Science degree and in 1997 I joined Careys Manor’s Carat Club (the hotel’s health club before SenSpa was created) as a Fitness Instructor and progressed to Spa Manager.

I have run the London Marathon twice whilst at university and a host of ½’s and 10K’s. I converted to triathlon when an overtraining injury prevented me from running for 4 months and even progressed to national level, representing Ireland in a European Cup race, but bowed out afterwards when I realised I would need to give up work, find a sponsor and train full time if I wanted to take it any further.

I also love SCUBA diving which I started aged 5 and have been for some time an Open Water Instructor.  I started surfing whilst at university to stay in the water whilst there was no diving.

I am never happier than when outside doing something that pushes my body or nerves to the edge and then a bit further just for the hell of it. At SenSpa, I teach Body Pump, Body Balance, Circuits and Aqua. I will coach anyone but really enjoy helping people who have an end goal they are looking to accomplish and are prepared to work hard to achieve it.

Coming from a very sporty and active family, I have always enjoyed a variety of sports/activities, and trying out new adventures and challenges such as climbing, skiing and snowboarding.

From enjoying ballet and gymnastics at a very young age, then moving onto badminton in which I played in the Dorset County Team for a number of years, to being a synchronised swimmer for 6 years, competing to a high standard.

After 6th form I ventured out to work in Wisconsin, America on a summer camp as an activity leader then completed my travels by touring round America for a further 4 months.

After completing Premier’s level 3 Diploma in personal training and sports massage therapy I set up my own business, then seizing the opportunity to gain great experience and work for a world class spa I finally arrived at SenSpa in April 2002.

I am a very sociable person therefore enjoy meeting and listening to new people. As I lead a healthy and active lifestyle I find it rewarding to advise and help other people in achieving their goals. Whether it is as a personal trainer in the gym or bringing them to our variety of classes.

I enjoy teaching bodypump, bodybalance, circuit training, fitball conditioning and Aqua.

I have always been dedicated to taking part in sport, ever since I can remember! I enjoy intensive training such as- cycling, running, weight training & my favourite discipline is MMA (Mixed martial arts)

I qualified as an instructor through Lifetime Fitness Academy & I have been a personal trainer at Careys Manor hotel & Senspa ever since.
I am a very sociable person and I like to think that the members consider me as being very approachable; when it comes to my personal training sessions, I can be very strict and like to push my clients & myself in order to reach their short-term as well as long-term goals.

I enjoy teaching classes at SenSpa, including: BodyPump(lesmills), BodyBalance(lesmills), Boxing, Aqua Aerobics, Fitball Conditioning & Circuit Training
