Profile

A fully qualified Personal Trainer with over 20 years sport and fitness experience. I have now decided to use my vast experience to help others achieve a sustainable, healthy balanced lifestyle.

I believe in a holistic approach to fitness which goes way beyond going through the motions of a weekly workout.
: Eat Well
: Move Well
: Think Well

When you understand fitness in this context it becomes a way-of-life instead of something you see as a chore.
This approach seeps into other areas of your life and you create the energy and mentality to eat well, exercise, deal with stress, and get things done. Lifelong, sustainable habits replace the yo-yo syndrome.
Through a customised programme that will encourage a healthy lifestyle and attitude you will gain a genuine motivation to look at fitness as a positive element in your life and build the foundation for success.

Advise for beginners

A large portion of the general population has a tendency to equate “complex” with “effective.”
When all is said and done, the basics - be it in weight training, dieting and lifestyle - will almost always yield the greatest results.
Keep it simple.

Favourite exercise

Burpee with Push-Up - A great way to instill fear and control an unruly client.
A massive challenge for the cardiovascular system and all the major muscle groups (either as stabilisers or dynamically) in a full-body integrated movement

Favourite class

Circuit training is a combination of different exercises that are performed one after the other with little or no rest in between them.
You get the benefits of muscle building and fat loss along with an intense cardio workout.
One of the major benefits of circuit training is the enjoyment of exercising with friends. Circuit training is a group exercise activity, there is no reason to be shy or attend a session alone and feel excluded from the group.
