I've been in the fitness industry for over 20 years, fitness has always been a passion of mine having competed at judo as a child to Thai boxing as a teenager and had trials at Stockport County FC when I left school. When that didn't work out I got into working in the leisure/fitness industry.

I have worked with many people over the years from young to old, beginners to British athletes who have competed at the Commonwealth Games. I'm currently enjoying running and will be taking part in a marathon in October, I understand what it feels like to be unmotivated and would love to help people through their journey at Places Gym.
