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. 

​

My very first venture into coaching was very early on. It was in the school holiday before I started University, I approached my local council to allow me to set up a summer holiday athletics camp at the local track. They employed me for 5 weeks training children in the athletic events. It is odd to look back and see that is where I found my passion for coaching others.

​

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 Hotel and Destination Spa's, to trendy Central London Gyms and niche community gyms. 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 an innovative fitness suite at the Central Surgery in Gorleston.

​

Whilst working with respiratory patients I found an innovative way of helping people with COPD make their first steps into exercise easy ones. I developed this into a programme which I call the Brice Method. 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 all the major online bookshops.

​

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

 

I now have the ideal job that I love.
