Meet the Team
Kevin Marshall set up Positive Steps in 2011, offering personal training services in the Bury St. Edmunds area.
Since then, the business has grown to include and specialise in both Nordic Walking and putting on challenge events on the trails and in the forests around East Anglia.
Kevin Marshall
Biography
I had a career in housing nearly 30 years before deciding on a new challenge!
Alongside this I have always been a passionate endurance athlete.
I believe in chasing dreams; no way am I going to get 'old' and wish I had done that....
I enjoy empowering other people to make changes that have a positive impact on their lives, improving their fitness and wellbeing.
