I wanted to become a personal trainer after experiencing my first few sessions at the gym when I was just 15. I was instantly hooked. I’ve always had a lot of energy so a job where I could be on my feet, being energetic, seemed a great idea.
I initially got into fitness to help improve my golf. I identified in myself that I needed to become stronger and more flexible to compete against better golfers. Improving my fitness would allow me to practice every day without tiring. Once I became fitter and stronger, I noticed I was still experiencing back pains and issues with tension in my legs. I realised that although I was training hard, my knowledge of fitness still had a long way to go.
I decided to research posture in more detail, particularly the benefits of less intense and more focused workouts for specific muscles groups and movement patterns. Once I completed my postural analysis training and identified the exercises I required, the benefits were immediately noticeable. In the space of 6 months, I managed to move my handicap from 5 down to +2. This style of training enabled me to become one of the best amateur golfers in the Midlands. After turning pro, I managed to get to 1600th in the world.
I quickly realised this knowledge could benefit others and provide a great platform for personal training sessions. I have been incorporating the techniques ever since. My competitive nature still shines through, I expect nothing less than the best results for anyone training with me
