I have always been into fitness and from the age of 14 to 21 I was an international athlete. I represented England in the Javelin and Long Jump, before turning to sprint hurdles where I competed for Great Britain at both Junior and Senior Level. ​

​

I graduated in 1986 with a Joint honours degree in Sports Science and Biology, and immediately started work in the fitness industry. I worked in a wide range of private fitness clubs from Five Star Hotels, to trendy Central London Gyms and niche community facilities. Even before it was known as personal training I was literally dragging people out of bed to run round Regents Park in the mornings.

 

In 1998 I established Body Solutions, a health and fitness consultancy business, training fitness staff and sales teams, as well as training and coaching people 1:2:1.

​

Since 1993 I have been involved in patient referrals from the NHS and in 2004 I helped establish what was the first private gym in the UK at the James Paget Hospital, and a specialist fitness suite at a Surgery in Gorleston.

​

Whilst working with respiratory patients I developed a way of helping people with COPD make their first steps into exercise easy ones. In 2018 I published a book about my experience. The book is called ‘COPD Innovative Breathing Techniques.’ This book is available on Amazon and in other online bookshops.

​

Throughout my career, my one true passion has been working 1:2:1 with clients.

 

I am blessed to have the ideal job that I love.
