Over 10 years in the health & fitness industry working with clients for fat loss, muscle gain, strength and fitness. I've been fortunate enough to be part of some amazing transformations and continue to be inspired by what the human body is capable of given the right environment.
Complimentary to my role as a freelance personal trainer, I am also a dedicated and passionate healthcare professional with a strong background in musculoskeletal rehabilitation and patient-centred care, previously operating as Physiotherapy Assistant at Colchester General Hospital and a Musculoskeletal Technical Instructor at Mill Road Therapy Centre.
With hands-on experience across Respiratory, Stroke, Orthopaedics, Medical, Care of the Elderly, and Surgical wards, I have also developed a comprehensive understanding of rehabilitation, multidisciplinary teamwork, and safe patient discharge to return to activities of daily living. This role involved leading exercise classes, conducting one-to-one rehabilitation, and empowering patients to achieve maximum independence, supported by my qualifications as a Level 4 Personal Trainer and Strength & Conditioning Coach.
Committed to continuous professional development, I have completed the NHS Care Certificate and actively seek opportunities to expand my expertise. My proven ability to rehabilitate patients post-ACL repair, hip and knee replacements, frozen shoulder and other musculoskeletal conditions, alongside guiding a client to a transformative 108kg weight loss, highlights my dedication to improving quality of life.
With a solid foundation in anatomy, physiology, and exercise science, contributing to a dynamic physiotherapy team, I bring a proactive, compassionate, and evidence-based approach to client care.
My entrance in to the health & fitness industry began 2012 working in a functional fitness gym organising boot camps, circuit training, activity challenges, etc; stemming back to my days as a mid-distance runner growing up.
My journey took a deep dive down this path upon realisation I was unhappy with my mentality and physique, but willing to do whatever it took to transform. This unknowingly led to a fascination of what is achievable by optimising training, nutritional and lifestyle as a tri-factor.
Following experience working with local sports clubs, army squadrons and individuals looking to enhance their athleticism, I began working at Bannatyne Health Club, qualifying as a class instructor for: Les Mills Grit Series, Metafit, Spin and Aquacise; accompanied by running bootcamps, core classes, conditioning circuits, etc.
This was also the stepping stone in to one-to-one Personal Training developing workout regimes and nutritional programs tailored to clients lifestyle factors.
Practicing what I preach has maintained a solid ethic, so observing clients on their fat loss journeys prompted my desire for a deeper understanding of their baseline and hardships outside of pure literature. This prompted a 12 month self-experiment to significantly increase my body fat and weight by ~30kg to almost 120kg. Before planning and conducting the return surpassing my baseline to 5.5% bodyfat at 83kg (~5 stone weight loss).
This helped elevate my understanding of the physical and mental barriers clients face, providing an invaluable wealth of experience to aid those tackling this journey.
I can honestly say I've experienced first hand what it takes to enforce drastic physique transformations in both myself and clients. Which lead me to realise science is key, but individualisation is paramount.
