I have been a Personal Trainer for 8 years with over 12000 hours of training sessions delivered. In that time it has been my pleasure to work with a variety of individuals; successfully supporting and helping clients with life saving weight loss, rehabilitation from cancer all the way through to training a two time British Powerlifting champion.

My own training background is just as varied; I was a middle distance runner at school before taking up bodybuilding in my early 20s. By my 30s I had returned back to running, this time specialising in 10k and Obstacle Course Racing.

In 2013 I was 'spotted' by the head physio of Team GB and encouraged to try out at Loughborough University, where I was classified as an F46 athlete. The coaches there steered me towards throwing and since then I have specialised in Javelin and have recently started doing discus too. It is my hope to one day represent my country as I work towards the required standards.

On a personal note; I live in Tamworth with my wife Carmen, stepdaughter Taylor and our son Albie.

I have three main areas of expertise; firstly in helping clients overcome the lifestyle and psychological barriers preventing them from reaching their goals. Many clients come to me lacking self belief and self esteem so their confidence in their own abilities is diminished. Helping a client to realise what they are truly capable of is as eye opening for them as it is enjoyable to me!

Secondly comes strength. As mental strength increases, physical strength inevitably follows. And getting stronger is at the cornerstone of physical health (yes, even if you want to run 10k-in fact it's even more vital!) Once we train the body to become stronger, every goal, be it fat loss, muscle gain, endurance, power or just wanting to look good naked! will also be achieved as a result.

Third is nutrition. I have spent my entire career (and much of my life!) filtering through misinformation, half truths and general confusion regarding nutrition. What I found is this; most 'experts' on nutrition have a book or idea to sell. I have no books or affiliations so the nutritional advice I give is based on personal circumstances, goals, experience, and most importantly, my honest reasoning.
