Strength changed my life.

Sounds like a bit of an overstatement but everything I am and everything I do today is thanks to me becoming passionate about strength.

I started as a very overweight and unfit kid - the one who got chosen last for the team in P.E. And this only got worse through my early twenties.

I have found StrongFirst (running under a different name at the time) in 2010 - and the principles they use, the attention to detail and the dedication to progress has blown me away.

I lost quite a bit of bodyweight - equivalent of The Beast - and got stronger, so I could qualify as a StrongFirst instructor in 2012.

This is why I say, strength changed my life: not only becasue that extra 48kg put quite a bit of pressure on my heart and if I continued living like that, it would risk my health, and ultimately, my life... But also because it drew my path for me.

I wanted to help people change their lives. Make strength and healthy living be part of who they are - just like it happened to me.

As soon as I had the chance, I opened StrengthLab - my personal training studio in Bristol where me and 3 of my fellow StrongFirst instructors help over 60 people get stronger and fitter every week.

We use the principles of StrongFirst, FMS, Ground Force Method and Flexible Steel in a unique personal training setting where 2-4 people train together: getting all the attention to detail they need from the trainer while being part of a strong tribe and enjoying a supportive community.

I am always happy to chat about strength training - so if you'd like to discuss anything, feel free to reach out to me.
