1. Should I still workout if I’m sick?
Listen to your body! When you’re feeling unwell, whether it’s cold, fever or feeling like your guts are coming up, it’s your body’s time to rest. For the body to heal during sickness it needs hydration, nutrition and importantly sleep/rest to optimise recovery. Going to the gym can not only make you feel worse but also put other people at risk of getting whatever you’ve caught. So take a break and relax🧘

2. Should I still workout if my muscles are sore?
DOMS…delayed onset muscle soreness. If you’re new to the gym, it’ll be a shock when you wake up the day after a workout and feel like you can’t lift your arms. Do not worry. DOMS are a normal inflammatory response to torn muscle tissue which occurs during exercise and is a necessary part of the recovery/healing process for adequate muscle repair. If pain is excruciating and bothering you at night, could be a sign of something pulled or torn in which case rest and seek further medical advice. If your muscles are just feeling very sore that is normal, respond with rest, spread your training days to focus on different muscle groups to allow for recovery, up the protein intake and importantly don’t stop moving🏃

3. Should I still workout if I’m tired?
Tiredness can be relative. Know your limits and your own body. If you’re experiencing true burnout, which occurs at every level of training, a step back can be useful. Recovery is key for progression in the gym and that includes taking a step back sometimes. However, if it’s tired due to work or just feeling a bit lazy, everyone has those days, work still needs to be done. Get in the gym if you can and put the work in. Accountability for your training and lifestyle helps provide discipline, with no discipline, results don’t show💪

Now for the bread and butter… boxing has been a massive part of my life for years now. As soon as I started I fell in love with the sport and specifically the technicality and science behind the art. That’s exactly why I took the time to learn as much as I could and will carry on to do so for the foreseeable future.

The best part about it? Being able to pass this knowledge and experience onto my clients. I have coached people who have never boxed before all the way up to seasoned competitors in the field.

Boxing is a great sport that caters not just to competitive fighting but to fat loss, cardiovascular endurance, strengthening and muscle growth and improved mental health.

I can offer 1:1 sessions, 2:1 sessions, group sessions, controlled sparring, and fight camp preparation. Open to all ages and levels of ability and experience.

Having run a successful coaching community back in the Midlands it only seemed right that we run it back for London as well. Get booked in and get boxing🥊

Alongside my boxing coaching I can also offer 1:1 gym based sessions focusing on anything and everything you aim to achieve on your fitness journey. This will include workout and diet plans and individualised 1:1 coaching that has been precisely orchestrated to suit your goals. Whether that be fat loss, muscle growth, sport focused training or strength training. With a solid gym background and experience results with my previous clients have spoke for themselves, time to show London what this is about💪🏾

Alongside my boxing coaching, I also offer gym focused sessions that are individualised to each client and their goals. In these sessions we can focus on muscle growth, fat loss, sport specific training or even injury rehab. Each session will be precisely strung together by myself to make sure you are optimising your training in the gym to reach your goals in the most efficient way💪🏾
