What a few days. ❤️

To say I’m proud just doesn’t do it justice. Watching Thomas succeed through sheer determination, courage and hard work has been incredible.

I have read talent can only take you so far. But when you combine talent with resilience and work ethic, it can become unstoppable.

He deserves every bit of praise and every bit of credit coming his way. Not just for the result, but for all the hours, sacrifices and hard work that nobody sees behind the scenes.

I couldn’t be prouder. ❤️

And the journey continues…

Next stop: the World Championships. 🌎

As the CrossFit Quarter finals start, I found this letter.

Back in 2016, I was told I had osteoarthritis in both hips. The outlook? Manage the pain, avoid running and any thing that caused pain, and prepare for the possibility of major surgery and being told I would have this before I was 40.

At the time, that felt heavy. Limiting. Final.

Fast forward to today — I’m 44, and things look very different.

Instead of accepting that path, I committed to rehabbing, training smarter, harder and strengthening my legs. Slowly, consistently, I built strength, stability, and the pain reduced.

Now I have no pain, I have the freedom and believe they can do what ever I want them to.

This wasn’t about ignoring medical advice — it’s about what can happen when I decided take action and believed I could fix it, I have stayed consistent, and focus on the boring stuff, rehab, recovery, strength work and mobilising.

The goal is never about what you do in the gym, it’s to create a body that can do anything I want and need it too. The training is simply gets better because of this.

Here’s the sports journey that lead me to

I have been asked what I did before doing CrossFit and opening SaolFit, so here is a little bit of what I did before.

I played Rugby Union for 18 years 🏉

Representing:
INSTONIANS
University of Central Lancashire
Fylde Rugby Club
Preston Grasshoppers
Blackburn

Only stopping when my first kid was born.

But alongside playing, I’ve always been coaching.

I started volunteering at 16, which led to working professionally as a Community Coach and Coach Educator with England Rugby for 10 years. That journey gave me the opportunity to learn from — and coach alongside — some incredible people.

About 10 years ago, that path introduced me to CrossFit.
What started part-time alongside England Rugby turned into a full career change — becoming a full-time coach and personal trainer.

20+ years of coaching experience has led to where we are now… SaolFit Gym still coaching still loving it 💪
