From training and playing in some of the top football facilities in the UK with elite athletes, to creating a gym in my garden out of makeshift parts during lockdown, fitness to me has always been about doing what you can with what you have.

I have been a PT and coach for a little over a decade now helping everyone from athletes with sport specific strength and conditioning to 80+year olds seeking a pain free every day life through general movement.

No matter the individual I coach, applying better movement mechanics will always be the main driver to long lasting results, as like myself, a healthy and happy life free of injury is and will always be the end goal.

The development and achievements of individuals I work with is a massive part of why I do what I do, but above all, experiencing the journey with them is all the more rewarding.

From my younger years playing professional football up until my early 20s, performance was the main driver for me, enjoyment was always second, however as I have matured through my fitness journey I have been able to learn to apply both with equal intention.

I still compete and have been for a good few years now. CrossFit (I’m not sure if we can say CrossFit) has played a large part in my performance journey until now and will continue to do so into the future. A blend of all things weightlifting, gymnastics and functional fitness was something that spoke to me because it looked extremely hard, and I’ve always been up to the challenge.

I pride myself on being approachable, I’m always up for a good chat and a laugh, I’m professional but as silly as they come when you get to know me, that’s why Danbury Fitness feels like a second home for me, we get to work but we have a blast whilst doing it!
