About me
My Philosophy
When I was young there was nothing more that I wanted than to be a Professional Footballer. I was lucky enough to achieve that and for 20 years I fulfilled my childhood dream. I won leagues and cups and represented my country at Under 21 level. The most important thing I did was listen to coaches about doing the right things, whether that was training hard or eating correctly. I have seen so many not achieving their dream because they didn't have the discipline.
I knew that every footballer has to hang up the boots or in my case the gloves at some point. After suffering a career ending injury in 2006 I decided I wanted to be that coach to inspire and help others achieve their goals. I got my qualifications in fitness and personal training and have loved helping people since.
I managed to get myself fit and went back to football for another 5 years. I also started raining people part time until finally I said enough is enough and went into Personal Training full time. Since then I have worked for Esporta, Virgin Active and David Lloyd doing Personal Training and Group Exercise.
Then the global Pandemic hit us in 2020.
For me going from 35 hrs a week to be told I was in the shielding category and I had to stay in the house. Gyms were shut and the Fitness Industry was about to go through the biggest shift in how it was going to attract members and clients.
I also saw the effects of big business taking advantage of employees and using covid as an excuse to cut wages and staff.
For me it was time to start a new chapter and move my business and be my own boss again.
I have always been a big advocate of group exercise and the benefits of being in a group, something we have all missed this year. Its also a cheaper alternative to Personal Training and for a lot of people it is a great way to start your journey.
