About Me

As a child growing up I struggled with my weight and my confidence. From as far back as I can remember I was overweight causing me to be anxious and depressed.

I ate because I was unhappy and unhappy because I ate (Austin powers quote but true nonetheless). This led me to try everything to lose weight such as starting smoking which was recommended to me by a family member as I would buy cigarettes instead of spending my pocket money on sweets, crisps and juice. I also tried starving myself by simply not eating or if I did eat it was fruit or very low calorie Foods.

When it came to clothes I would wear very baggy hooded tops and big enough jeans or jogging bottoms to try and hide my love handles, belly, chest and arms, even on a scorching day I would wear this as it made me feel that little bit less self conscious. Even sitting comfortably watching TV with my Dad I would still hold a pillow over my belly and I still do that to this day even though I’m not that same person, some things never leave you.

This type of behaviour resulted in me staying in a lot more, not going to school and not going out at all leading to more weight gain and by the time I was 19 years old I weighed 18st 10lb.

From the moment I weighed in at 18st 10lb I knew I needed to do something with my life as I left school with no qualifications, suffered from anxiety and depression and was very unhappy with my Life, I can’t tell you how it happened but a switch in my head just clicked.

I went home and applied for an access course to Sports and exercise at college which never began for another 6 months so this gave me motivation to lose some weight before it started.

I managed to lose 3 stone all the wrong ways but this gave me enough confidence to actually turn up on the first day. From here and over the years whilst still at college I learned about body types, hormones, exercise, fat loss, gaining muscle, nutrition, sleep, human physiology, goals, hydration and much more.

I went on to complete my access course, NQ, HNC and Personal training Diploma and became a qualified Personal trainer in 2013 and I have been helping people hit their goals ever since.

If I can do it, you can do it.
