Why I Do What I Do

Why I Do What I Do

My story starts back from my teenage years. Being an overweight kid, I always struggled with confidence, pain, and grew up being bullied.

I remember a point at around the age of 19, fed up of looking at the person in the mirror looking back at me. I needed to do something about that.

I joined a local gym, scared, full of fear, didn't know what to expect. But I had to do something about my situation.

After a long two years, I managed to drop almost 8 stone from my tiny 5 foot 6 body. Felt completely in a different place. I was starting to enjoy wearing clothes and changing my body.

It wasn't up until around age 24, when I decided to go after personal training qualifications. If I could change myself then it would be an amazing achievement to help others.

After passing those qualifications, I started working in the same local gym and built up my experience. I was actually still working full time at a job which I hated, but it brought the money in at the time.

In 2011, my Mum passed away and this was the worst time in my life. My parents were always working and I saw how hard they worked. My Dad was very kind and gave me some money from selling the family home. Which enabled me to start my own business.

So here we are 12 years later, 2 children. William (4) Mylee (7) Living in Swadlincote with my Fiance Sarah. In that time I've owned 3 personal training studios. Gone on to study further in Strength & Conditioning and Human Movement Science.

The reason I do what I do is for those guys. I don't want to miss out on seeing my kids grow up and want to spend as much time as possible with them. Which my online business allows me to do.

I know life is too short with my Mum passing at 54 and I believe staying as healthy as possible can only help to cut those risks down later down the line.
