Having always had an interest is exercise and nutrition from an early age I decided to get qualified back in 2001 and turn my passion for wellbeing into my profession.

I graduated through Premier Global as a Master Trainer and quickly built a client base in the West Midlands operating out of what was once Fitness First (Telford).

After 6 months or so, I decided to relocate to London where the industry was more buoyant and I spent the next 5 years truly learning and evolving my skills as a trainer and coach, as I worked with some of the best trainers in the business in the High Street Kensington area, before switching sectors to corporate personal training in Canary Wharf.

Over the last 12 years I have seen some radical changes in the industry, in both the types/ methods of training that have emerged, but more importantly in peoples perception of Exercise and Nutrition and the importance of what good Personal Trainers can do.

I believe people are more aware now than ever before of the importance of good nutrition and exercise and the positive impact it can have on their wellbeing.

My aim is to educate people and help them to realise that exercise can be enjoyable and that it doesn't have to be a chore and my goal is to constantly motivate and coach people to help them believe that they can achieve their goals, whether that be to lose those extra few lbs or increase their general fitness and improve their way of life.

I believe here at the body barn we have created the right blend of Innovative Training, in an Inspiring Environment, to help our bodybarner's get the most out of their training.
