I’ve always dreamt of owning my own gym so I made it my life’s ambition to make it a reality. Now here I am writing the web content for my gym’s website so dreams can come true!

I had a vision of my gym being the place clients come to become educated about the reality of what it takes to achieve results in the health and fitness world – through appropriate exercise and nutrition – and for inspiration to help accomplish their dreams, and, in so doing, sparing them the misleading *BS* most of the industry has to offer.

Sport and exercise have been my lifelong passion, so I am one of the lucky ones making a living from what I love doing.

Football was my first passion as a kid and still is. Even though I’m retired from playing, I still like to watch it and follow my team. I played throughout my younger years and teens, as well as rugby, and tried various martial arts; however, discovering bodybuilding in my early teens was certainly the biggest life changer for me. Bodybuilding became a huge and positive influence in my life: it got me out of trouble and taught me how to be disciplined, set goals and live healthily. It led me to nutrition and many other areas of training which I have since spent my life studying and practising; in particular, powerlifting, Olympic weightlifting and my biggest love of all, Muay Thai Boxing.

I’ve run my personal training business for nearly 15 years (written 2018) and before that I worked for the NHS as a Physio for 4 years. I worked in the bar and nightclub security industry for over 10 years and throughout that time, always worked my other job. Dreaming of running my own gym was the reason for having two full-time jobs and another area in my life that taught me how hard work and perseverance always pay off.
