Profile

My sporting career has seen me representing Great Britain for white water canoe racing and playing cricket at county level. I’m currently playing rugby, jujitsu and canoeing … and love to have a go at anything new that comes along!

My study of the body started at Glasgow University with a degree in Physiology - which included a good portion specific to sport and exercise. Whilst training and competing in my sport (white water canoeing) I studied to be a Personal Trainer and Sports Therapist. Since 2002 I've worked in several top health clubs around London and ran a Sports Injury clinic in Surrey.

Why Personal Training

I'm passionate about exercise and the huge benefits that an active life provides. The body is a dynamic machine that is built to move - I like to train people to be functionally fit by concentrating on integrating the entire system.

I see my job as a combination of several key points:

• designing specific programmes to meet your individual goals.
• passing my knowledge on to you so you can learn about your body and design your training in the future.
• passing my enthusiasm on to you and helping to motivate you through those sticking points that we all have.
• having a blast and making training fun.
