What Does Fitness mean to you?
Fitness has been a huge part of my life, I started playing football at the age of five, was lucky enough to play in professional academies through to the age of 19, I have since played semi professional in two different countries across the world. So, fitness has always been my identity, and has allowed me to create incredible life skills which keep all aspects of my life in check. It is my way to develop mentally and set examples to my family and those around me.
I started my fitness journey at the age of 14, working with professional sport scientists since then before moving into the online coaching space in 2020. Ever since then I have been on a mission to help others improve their health fitness and mindset, as I have seen first hand the immense lessons and impact it can have on all aspects of life.

What is your advice for people starting on their fitness journey?
My advice to people starting out would be to invest in a coach, somebody who understands you and your goals, but not only that somebody who cares about you and your goals. Somebody who is passionate about you and your goals, this is going to save you years of frustration. Investing in yourself and learning is the best thing you can do., working with people who are in the position you aspire to be is the biggest hack to learning and implanting = success.

How important is routine to you?
Routine and Discipline is important to me as it is the very foundation life is built upon, everything I do is disciplined and with purpose, I have a routine to ensure that I get done what needs to be done. I wouldn’t be who or where I am today if I wasn’t disciplined.
Have you had any setbacks and how did you overcome them?
I have had many setbacks in training and in life, mainly within my career in sport you constantly face setbacks this allows you to grow and learn. It allows you to reflect and come back stronger, I would say the resilience I have built from setbacks is my greatest strength as a human being. In terms of injuries, I have injuries previously, this has allowed me to align my training to my goals and has given me an opportunity to try different methods of training and gauge a real understanding of what I enjoy.
