We will provide you with the tools you need to get in shape physically and mentally and we will be there for you every step of the journey. Research has shown that regular physical exercise can have a profoundly positive impact on mental health by reducing anxiety, depression, and negative mood and by improving self-esteem and cognitive function. It also relieves stress, improves memory, helps you sleep better, and boosts your overall mood.

About Me
My Fitness Journey
Q: What's the difference between these 2 photos? Going to the gym? Exercise? Junk food?
A: Knowledge - Knowing how to train, what to eat, how much to eat, etc.
At the time the photo on the left was taken I was working out 5-6 days a week, with resistance training and a bunch of cardio. But I was a victim of the mis-information minefield that exists in todays society. I wasn't training effectively. I was overtraining, overeating and not resting enough.
So I began to educate myself. I learnt about the importance of macros, exercise selection, and calorie surplus/deficit. Almost overnight it all clicked into place - I had more energy, I was working out less but with more focus, I was calculating my macros and eating well. Naturally, the gains really hit and lost about 3 stone in around 6 months and I felt (and looked) amazing. This was fantastic. It was like finding the elixir of youth. Now, if only I could share this feeling and help others to feel like this. I have always offered advice on fitness and health to friends and people but it just wasn't enough so I decided to enrol and become a qualified personal trainer.
Too often I had seen people unhappy with themselves, quitting "diets", beating themselves up over nutrition mistakes. I needed to help these people and show them that there is a way forward. A way to feel great, to eat well and to have a feeling of confidence that cannot be put into words. Helping people to help themselves is a truly magical experience. When a client achieves a goal that they had set a few weeks/months previously is a wonderful moment (e.g. losing excess weight, improving their bench press or sprint time) and that’s the payday for me. Like a proud dad. My mantra is that personal training is not about lifting weights, it’s about lifting people.
Next, I need some qualifications to back up my hands-on experience so I enrolled on a few courses and gained my Level 2 Gym Instructor, qualification, level 3 Personal Trainer qualification and my Fitness Nutrition Specialist qualification. I now have the qualifications to match my 20+ years of exercise and gym experience and my 40+ years of life experience and I am in a great position to help people feel good about themselves and to make some positive changes in a world that can too often be full of negativity.
