I’ve been a Personal Trainer for 20 years. I’ve committed thousands of hours towards studying all aspects of health, exercise, coaching and nutrition. I continually strive to improve the service that I deliver. 

I genuinely care about my clients, and you will find me actively engaged throughout our sessions. I always strive to exceed expectations with the service that I deliver. 

Contrary to what you may see with some stereotypes, there will be no idle texting, leading against the wall looking bored or browsing social media during our sessions. I find this behavior completely unacceptable & unprofessional. 

I want to deliver the service I would expect if I was hiring a personal trainer. 

As a testament to this, a number of my long-term clients have worked with me for many years, some for over a decade!

I’ve worked with people from all walks of life and ages. Primarily, I work with busy professionals, 25-70 years old from industries such as Tech, Law, Finance and Medicine. In addition, I have a lot of experience cooperating with Physiotherapists & Osteopaths to facilitate rehabilitation from injuries.

I understand that stepping into a gym is often confusing and intimidating for a beginner. My goal is to deliver safe and effective personal training.

I come from a family who are mostly obese and in poor health. My father died at the age of 63 from a heart attack when I was 14. His health conditions can largely be attributed to his lifestyle.

I was active as a child of the 80’s was but never athletically gifted and never picked in preference for sports team. As as a teenager I became sedentary and became overweight myself.

I’ve always had to work very hard and smartly to make progress with my own physical pursuits. Nothing has come easily to me, i’m certainly not what you’d call physically gifted. I feel this better equips me to relate to the average clients needs and thier starting point.

At every gym I have worked at I have quickly gained a strong reputation for my professionalism and ability to deliver results.

I previously worked as a Senior Trainer at Ultimate Performance London City for 4 1/2 years, quickly gaining a reputation for my clients transformation successes including being the head of the online training department.

Previous to this I have experience working for Fitness First, Fitness Exchange, Virgin Active & Holmes Place.

I have attended courses with Charles Poliquin, Ido Portal, Dr Andreo Spina of Functional Range Conditioning (FRC) Gary Ward of Anatomy in Motion (AiM) and various handstand masters.

I studied for two terms at the National Centre of Circus Arts covering handstands, tumbling and acrobalance.

I am currently studying The Feldenkrais Method and I am in my third of four years of studies. I will look to incorporate more elements of this approach to the sessions I deliver as my knowledge increases.

I currently compete in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu as a Purple Belt, regularly do bouldering, have previous experience competing in natural bodybuilding to a competitive national level and have practiced Yoga for a decade. I have also ran several 5 & 10k races.

I approach my own exercising as an ongoing journey of discovery on learning how to make the body work more efficiently and effectively. I learn keen insights from these hobbies that further improve how I help my clients.

My ethos is to find exercise that you enjoy and can incorporate into a lifestyle in a fun and sustainable way. The gym should help enhance your experience of life and should not be the sole focus of it.

There are few people in the fitness industry who have as much experience of coaching and even fewer who really practice what they preach to the degree that I do.

Whether your goal is Fat Loss, Muscle Gain, Improved Flexibility, Better Health or Sports Specific I will be able to help to optimise your efforts in the gym.
