My story

I have a very long history in the fitness and sports industry. Most of my own training has involved martial arts of various kinds, particularly Chinese martial arts. I was lucky enough to represent the UK in various compeititons over the years. I also enjoy training with kettebells.

I have now turned my attention to helping my clients achieve their health and fitness goals. I am fully qualified as a Personal Trainer, and as an older trainer myself, I believe I can be of great value to older clients.

How I can help

Through my Exercise Referral Specialist (L3) training I am able to help clients manage the following conditions through exercise:

Hypertension

Hypercholesterolaemia

COPD

Asthma

Obesity

Diabetes

Arthritis

Osteoporosis

Depression

Anxiety and stress

Non-specific lower back pain

However, no GP referral is required, but I recommend getting GP clearance if you do have any of the above conditions.

If you have any of the above and they are getting worse please see a GP and get a referral to me. Once they are under control, I can help manage them.
