What’s your background and how did you get started in the fitness industry?
Having played football and competed in martial arts from a very young age, I’ve always enjoyed the benefits of being active and the discipline that comes with physical training and learning new skills.
I went on to complete my degree in Sport and Exercise Science in 2013, where I discovered a passion for strength and conditioning. Since then, I’ve worked as a personal trainer in high-end fitness studios, helping clients of all ages and backgrounds achieve their health and fitness goals.
How would you describe your coaching style?
I’d describe my coaching style as educational, holistic, supportive and encouraging. I believe everyone can make positive changes to their health and fitness, regardless of their starting point.
For me, consistent habits over time will always beat short bursts of intensity. I aim to meet clients where they are, give them the knowledge and support to make progress, and push them when they need it.
What about being a PT inspires or interests you the most?
Exercise and nutrition are two of the most powerful tools we have for getting the most out of life; helping us stay healthy, capable and independent for as long as possible. Being able to give people the knowledge and confidence to do that for themselves is what inspires me most about being a PT.
What achievement as a PT are you most proud of?
I’ve worked with several clients through long-standing injuries and some pretty difficult periods, both physically and mentally. Seeing their perseverance and helping them get back to doing the things they love has been incredibly rewarding.
I’m also proud of the PTs I’ve helped develop over the years and seeing them go on to become successful coaches in their own right.
