2023 Wrapped Up 🗓️
To say it was a tall order to showcase a full year in just 10 slides is an understatement! This year has undoubtedly been the best year of my life and I am beyond grateful for everything that has happened, everyone that has helped along the way and those that are closest to me!
So, 12 photos, let’s go!
1 - My favourite physique image of the year, huge shoutout to Ed for capturing my efforts on this shoot!
2) Where the year began, January, I launched my own business JD Coaching and embarked on my journey as a PT and Online Coach where in my first year I’ve worked with over 20 clients!
3) January also saw me hire to get me into shape for my first ever photoshoot and I think it’s fair to say he did a half decent job 😉
4) Me and Lea took a trip to Paris for her birthday where I ate AAALLLLL the croissants 🥐 🤤 it’s fine though, I definitely burnt them off walking 30k steps a day whilst trying to cram all the sights into two days.
5) As well as being on photoshoot prep myself, tasked me with getting her photoshoot and holiday ready 📸 ☀️ She looked amazing!
6) Recorded many a workout and fitness tip throughout the year but my favourite was this His and Hers leg day!
7&8) Peak Week! Depleted down, dehydrated and lathered in fake tan, after 12 weeks of dieting we got in-front of the camera and overcame some major self confidence issues, posing topless in a crowded gym full of bodybuilders much bigger and more experienced than I 😬
9&10) Brand work - I’m the furthest thing from an influencer but to be able to work alongside my favourite supplement brand and the guys over at is a privilege.
11) Broke so many PB’s but the three that meant the most and ones I didn’t expect this year, my first 2 plate bench press (100kg) my first 3 plate squat (140kg) and my first 4 plate deadlift (180kg) topped with a 190kg PB!
12) Last but certainly not least, the highlight of the year, the proudest moment of my life and my biggest achievement! Me and Lea bought our first house together and just in time for Christmas!
Well that was 2023! 2024, I’m ready!!
