From a young age I have always been into sports and fitness. I am passionate about keeping fitness levels up and concentrating on nutrition. I do a lot of running outside of work, as well as cycling and training muscle groups in the gym. Circuit training is a massive hobby for me; I love taking part in high intensity circuits and also coaching them.

I enjoy being with my children, exploring in the woods, going for bike rides and swimming. To keep myself fit I really enjoy the gym, body balance and Pilates. I used to be a competitive swimmer and spent many hours mainly in the pool. I have run countless 10k and half of my greatest sporting achievements were running the London marathon. I spent many hours pounding the streets during six months of dedicated training!

Being a competitive swimmer as a teenager, I’ve always had a keen eye on fitness.  Fast-forward to the age of 19 and a friend took me to the weights room, from there swimming took a back seat and weight training blossomed.  In my mid 20’s I myself employed the services of a PT, who duly pushed me to my maximum, achieving lifts that most wouldn’t believe possible. 

Now today due to a spinal injury 24months ago, I have had to build myself back up slowly to hitting the heights of my 20’s, kilogram by kilogram I’m getting there.  That same injury caused my 15 years as a Police Constable to be unmanageable through various professional reasons. Rather than dwell, I retrained in a field I’ve always held passion for, Fitness – my personal circumstances cause me to focus very much on technique/ form, firstly to avoid wherever possible injury, and a secondary benefit is maximum power going into that exercise.  

I work on a basis that everyone is unique, so with that everyone has strengths and weaknesses and no exercise fits everyone – however saying that I also believe there is no hurdle to stop any single person doing some form of exercise.  So whatever your GOAL, whatever your hurdle, together we can overcome it.
