The perception of what people think I do in my job versus the reality of what I actually do in my job is very different. Think of the title “personal trainer” and you may be forgiven for automatically thinking of boot camp screaming workouts, strict diet plans, perfectionism and cringe-worthy latex clothing. But if you’ve gotten this far down on the page I’m hoping you’ve already concluded that it couldn’t be much further off the mark here.
You see the thing is, I joined the fitness industry to help people. And none of the above help, they actually do the opposite. My experiences through working with hundreds of clients, and background in studying psychology, has taught me that I can work way smarter.

My interests in helping clients reach their goals lie much deeper than just moving more and eating less. It’s about affecting permanent behavior change, stress levels, sanity around food, exercise habits, self-acceptance, self-confidence and more.

The very industry I work in is guilty of pushing “body perfectionism’ on to us all but I’d encourage you to look the other way.
If many of us were to re-align the goalposts in our psyche from “perfect” to “better”, we’d find ourselves much happier with the body we’re in and the life we lead.

Outside of the coaching world there’s a number of things which keep me smiling and wanting to get out of bed each morning. My family, travelling and meeting new faces are all particular motivators. Though indulging in banoffee pie and spending nights out with dark rum and friends are often high on the agenda too! Stories of your adventures abroad or embarrassing nights out are most welcome and is something we should definitely chat and compare.

Personally, my favourite kind of exercise is the kind I can fit into my life that month, week or day – be it a home workout, a long walk, a gym workout or anything else that keeps me moving. Attempting to follow a rigid diet and exercise plan no longer dominates my life as it only provides me with higher levels of stress and boredom than any kind of positive results!

Currently living in Darlington (North East England) I run this site not from the perspective of a fitness model or self-proclaimed guru, but as a normal, regular guy wanting to help you improve your mind, body and life through my work.
