About

We have trained teams and individuals with a variety of goals including post-natal mothers requiring fat loss to youth footballers aiming to improve acceleration speed and agility. We have also worked with clients suffering from Cerebral Palsy and other musculoskeletal/neurological disorders. A bespoke programme is created for every client, in order to achieve your specific goals.

I love to stay active and have competed/trained in many different sports including football, cricket, squash, mountain biking, cross country running, athletics, swimming and Thai boxing.

Most recently, I have been involved in Thai Boxing since 2007 through the World famous, Bad Company Gym in Leeds, as well as in Thailand in several gyms including Sinbi Muay Thai (Phuket), Tiger Muay Thai (Phuket) and Pinyo Gym (Koh Samui).
