About

With a degree in Sport & Exercise science and over 5yrs experience as a PT/endurance athlete, I use my knowledge and my own personal experiences to get the most out of my clients.

Through my experience as a PT, I believe the way to get the best results from my clients is by teaching the basics but also educating and influencing them towards a healthier lifestyle.

The sessions need to be progressive and goal focused with the emphasis on moving correctly in the way our bodies are designed to move. This means firing the right muscles in the right sequence, with a good range of motion and mobility thereby reducing the risk of getting injured.

There is only so much we can do in a session so this is why it super important for me to influence your lifestyle, slowly and progressively to become healthier. This can be achieved by making small, progressive changes to your diet and activity levels.

With my endurance/science background I have developed an extensive knowledge of how best to prepare for, compete in, and recover from a number of different endurance events. This involves training, conditioning, nutrition, hydration, injury prevention, psychology and biomechanics.

I have competed in a number of different endurance events, must notably the Ultra GB, which is a 200-mile run across the Trans Pennine Trail, the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc, which is a 170-km trail run across the Alps (the pinnacle of trail running), and a 3000-mile cycle ride from the UK to Istanbul.
