Rob Docherty has had a many-pathed working life. From 12 years of Military service with the British Army, to working in administration, being a cabaret performer, art tutor, life model and dance teacher.

The seeds of Docherty Wellbeing were planted in 2015, when Rob began his journey into the fitness industry after leaving a 9-5 office life.

Starting with "Rob Docherty Fitness" in 2015 and working as a fitness instructor and personal trainer for various groups (including British Military Fitness and Kirklees Active Leisure), Rob added massage to his repertoire of skills (starting with Sports Massage, but quickly diversifying to meet his clients' needs) and founded "Rob Docherty Massage" in 2018 to run alongside his fitness business.

In July 2024, Rob graduated from Leeds Trinity University with a Bachelor's Degree in Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation (First Class Honours). In preparation for this, Rob Docherty Fitness and Rob Docherty Massage were brought to an end on 31st December 2023, and Docherty Wellbeing was born on 1st January 2024, with a brand new logo, new colour scheme and new premises.

When not putting people through their paces as a PT, fixing them as a Sports Therapist or relaxing them with Massage, you can find Rob either knee deep in mud on an obstacle course, on a dance floor at a Blues and Smooth event, or painting his little toy soldiers (Warhammer 40k for preference).
