Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?

I’m 34 years old. Bristol born and bred. I have a real passion for health, fitness and sport. I play a lot of golf and enjoy weight training. I used to compete nationally as a men’s physique athlete/bodybuilder. I’m also a father to an amazing little girl.

What made you get into Personal Training and what do you like about it?

I’ve always loved training and love helping people so it was a perfect fit. I started working at UWE aged 19 as a part time recreation assistant but spent most of my time in the gym when I should have been setting up badminton courts! My manager at the time arranged for me to do my level 2 fitness instructor qualification and the rest is history.
