Personal training for people making their health a priority

Helping people get fit and healthy by training smarter, not harder. Safe, qualified, supportive and engaging.

I mostly work with professionals in their 40s and 50s who want to balance fitness, family, and work.

Let’s train together

I provide personal training that teaches you how to move well. Together we’ll nourish your body, build strength, and train in an effective and enjoyable way that fits around your busy lifestyle.

Your programme is designed around you, helping you actually do your exercise, and therefore reclaim your natural energy and confidence. This is about instilling daily habits that last, and letting exercise become a natural part of your life.

Whether you’re new to all this, returning to exercise after a break, or looking for improvements in your training; I am here to guide you on each step.

Men’s lives transformed

You’re busy, I get it. Yet you also know how important your health is. Balancing family, work, and fitness is no mean feat.

This is for you if you:

  • want all round health that permeates out into your life, your business, your relationships, and your family

  • appreciate how essential a healthy body is for your enjoyment and fulfilment in life and love

  • want great technical guidance on workouts alongside support with mindset and behaviour change

  • want fitness and health but feel the ‘Gym Bro’ environment isn’t for you.

Let’s train together in a way that brings more movement, balance, and joy back into your life.

I’m passionate about two things; men’s mental health, and trail running

I’ve supported 100s of men through turbulent and challenging times during men’s work retreats. I know the challenges we face and can support you through them.

Personal training unlocks your hips, engages your heart, puts you back in control enabling you to get all the mood boosting benefits of hitting those trails.

  • Expert coaching to your personal needs

  • performance tracking made simple and easy

  • custom workouts that fit around busy schedules

I teach a holistic approach to training and running; it’s not just about physical movements, it’s also mindset, emotional engagement, and even a spiritual connection to the land you’re running through.

Run faster, longer, injury free.

A personal story

For nearly 15 years I've worked in corporate wellness, mens health, and personal coaching. I understand the importance of a healthy body and mind, and how this impacts performance across professional, romantic, personal, and family life.

I also know what it’s like to struggle with depression, and to use exercise to support mental health. I’ve written about this on my Substack. I’ve faced mental health challenges when going through failed IVF and infertility, divorce, and the suicide of a family member.

I’ve worked with 100s of men supporting them through some of the toughest transitions of their lives. Exercise has been an essential ingredient in their successful transformation, as it has been in mine.

I believe a healthy body and mind is your natural birthright. Together we can develop an approach to exercise that works for you because it encompasses three key pillars:
  • consistency
  • simplicity
  • longevity
