A certified fitness coach of 5 years and have been training myself in for over 10.

In that time I have tried many different training methods with as many different goals and the constant in all of it has been effort, consistency and keeping your eye on the goal.

My mission is to not only help as many people as I can reach their goals but do it in a way that provides the knowledge and confidence to maintain what these achievements.

My Philosophy

First of all you need the exercise to make the progress and whatever you’re trying to achieve whether that’s more muscle mass or more endurance or more strength. Then you need to recover from the exercise to actually reap what you sow. Then you need good nutrition to both fuel your exercise and to aid in your recovery. Then to tie all three of those in together with consistency so to exercise consistently to recover consistently and to get the right nutrition consistently.

Around 80% of people don’t reach their fitness goals with the majority quitting their program within the first 3 to 6 months. What happens instead is there is usually a fitness program being followed.

Whether it comes from a coach, an influencer, or even a group fitness class most fitness programs are actually pretty good. The issue is not the program itself, the issue is that a program is often mistaken for a plan. This is even worse than if you have instructions on how to drive a car but don't have any navigation as achieving a fitness goal is much more complicated than a road trip. Just as you would end up on an endless journey without any navigation, if you have a program but no plan you end up on a perpetual "fitness journey'.

Once you have a plan, your focus can stay fixed on your goal and how quickly you achieve it depends entirely on how much effort you put in.

The total amount of calories you consume will determine whether you lose weight, gain muscle and your overall energy levels.

The ratio of carbohydrates, fat and protein will give you the fuel and help you recover.

All the while eating a balanced diet to ensure you get all of your vitamins & minerals and fibre maintain good health.

Probably most importantly is that you enjoy it!

We start with what's enjoyable and with a volume that you can maintain. Then as we go we increase volume, intensity and complexity also known as progressive overload. There's a balance that must be maintained. If we go too hard or "overload" too much You'll either be too fatigued to recover before your next session or just flat out hate training. On the flip side if we don't overload at all we won't see progression. So we must balance this in a kind of Goldie locks zone.

In terms of the training style I offer, I'm not dogmatic on any one way of doing things nor am I trying to re-invent the wheel.

For the plan to work you must to stick to it. Therefore the other 3 legs of the stool must be enjoyable and maintainable both physically and mentally.

Sleep, nutrition and just giving yourself time to relax is crucial to no only reach any fitness related goal but also to live a long happy life

Depending on your goal I set a calorie and macro target. The nature of nutrition in terms of the plan is different to the exercise as what you eat can impact others be it family, social settings or work. It's different to exercise too in the way that everyone is already eating and have been building dietary habits for their entire lives. So here we take a slower more add, remove and adjust approach where needed. If there are no barriers and you want to follow a meal plan then that's something we can definitely do initially but the understanding around food still needs to be built

I design a plan for you to reach your goal from scratch. This is based on many factors including how long you want your sessions go for, how often would you like to train and much more. This plan is not static and will evolve over time as you make progress.

There are four Pilars of training. Short change any of them and you will have a hard time. Without the exercise you have nothing, without the nutrition you won't be fuelled or recover correctly, if you don't recover correctly you won't be able to train effectively and see results and without consistency none of it works.
