I am 28 years old and have always been passionate about sport. As a child and teenager I enjoyed playing football and always had an interest in Boxing, it was the only things that momentarily kept me on the straight and narrow sometimes. At the age of 21 years I became a father which for me was the most profound and life changing moment. 3 years ago I took part in a boxing match to raise money for
Cancer Research in honour of my Nan and fulfil a promise I made to her to be the best I could be. From this I progressed to attending the gym on a semi regular basis and found it was the place I found my most peace. 2 years ago, determined after so many disappointments in finding the right job to fit in with the demands of being a single Dad and to fit in with my daughters educational timetable, I embarked on getting myself fit whilst I was looking for work, this was to boost my mental and physical health because the ups and downs of life had started to take its toll. As we often find in life, just when you are about to give up, an opportunity comes along and in 2023 I was recommended to take part in a programme which would train me to become a qualified Level 3 Personal Trainer. I just like everyone else has a story, I have had to find it in me from the bottom of my boots some days to keep going and striving to make ends meet, put others first, keep healthy and choose a better lifestyle than the one I was leading. I am passionate about personal health and wellbeing now - because I have lived experience of the highs and lows in life. I am also no natural muscle man! I spent all my adolescence feeling body conscious and had no confidence. It was through the encouragement and support of family and friends I learned to love myself again. For all these reasons I feel I have all it takes to support you in your journey with a personalised approach to becoming fitter and living a healthier and better life - I understand we are all different. I understand that this will be just the start for you and your personal interests and passions will lead you to so many wonderful opportunities in life to stay healthy. I really look forward to working with you and embarking on our journey "together".... because it's "better!"
