"Coach and spreadsheet extraordinaire"
I’m a big, friendly giant.
At first my only reason to train was to look good (I’m still working on it) but the improved confidence and sport performance that followed was contagious.
Now, I couldn’t imagine a life without exercise.
What inspired you to become a Personal Trainer?
I asked myself what I’d do if money wasn’t a worry, the answer was to coach people and it’s been a journey more fulfilling than I ever imagined.
Describe your personality in three words:
Enthusiastic, passionate, and fabulous.
What’s your earliest memory of fitness?
Playing under 6s football for Musselburgh Windsor – I was a lot smaller then but had the same enthusiasm.
What’s been your biggest achievement in fitness?
Silver at my first Jiu-Jistu competition. A brand new sport (that took 3 years of fence-sitting before starting) that was totally out of my comfort zone. I learned a lot, now I’m hungry for more.

Assist people achieve the results they want and see first hand how big an impact a healthy lifestyle can have.
