Who?
Who am I?
I am a Personal Trainer that has been where you are and one that practices what I preach.
Having trained for the past 30 years I myself have struggled with the gym environment, my fitness and my weight
so I know what it takes to reach those goals you are looking for.
I'm a qualified level 3 Personal Trainer and level 4 Strength & Conditioning coach
with additional mental health training covering aspects of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
I can help you build the confidence you need to enter the gym space
and work with you throughout your fitness journey via accountability, support and daily contact.
How did I end up doing this?
Although I had been training on and off for 12 years or more, I never really stuck to plan
and just seemed to chop and change, as many of us do, using free available workouts, online plans
and effectively wandering around the gym space without any real changes or gains.
I then employed the services of my first PT and within 12 weeks noticed
a huge difference in my physique, strength and overall fitness.
However, as is the case for many of us, life got in the way and I spent too much time working and not enough time on myself,
I was still at the gym several times a week but without a plan in place I started to falter.
Then I decided to compete in events such as the Spartan Race and Bear Grylls.
This focus helped me plan my training better, as it had an end goal. For me this was relatively successful,
however I didn't realise some of the obstacles would trigger my fear of height, but thats another story.
Following this I turned my attention to strongman in 2018 and worked with England’s & UK's Strongest Man Paul Smith,
unfortunately I tore my meniscus in November 2020 which was so severe it halted my progress just as COVID hit
and sent my training completely backwards mentally.
I continued to push in the strongman direction, but the injury was such that I couldn't continue
and it was in July 2023 that I changed direction completely.
9 Months of pure discipline and dedication ended up in the results you see above . . . and this is only the start of my journey.
