About Me
Strength that adapts, training that doesn't go on autopilot
I believe training should keep working for you — not just your body, but your brain and nervous system too. My sessions are built to develop the kind of strength that holds up under real-world conditions: adaptable, responsive, and capable of handling whatever comes next.
What Can I Do For You?
I coach clients on a consistent weekly basis by design, because regular rhythm builds the habits that stick — and real results come from us both taking ownership. My approach is grounded in evidence, but never dull: I bring genuine curiosity and playful energy to our sessions, always checking technique and encouraging you along the way.
In more than 25 years immersed in fitness, health, and sport, I've built on that foundation with further qualifications and experience along the way. I have a special interest in strength training for endurance sports, and I'm a published author and speaker — but coaching one-to-one remains my favourite work: helping people become genuinely strong, confident, and self-reliant for life.
I work from 3 gym locations, 'Define Fitness' in Beckenham near where I live on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 'The Vault Gym' in Shoreditch on Mondays, and 'PT Workspace' in Islington on Wednesdays.

Testimonials
“You make me take more responsibility for myself (though that’s tough to swallow). You work on specifics - the small stuff that makes a big difference.” (James)
“You provide a stable point in my week, an anchor point. And my session is adapted depending on how I’m feeling. You notice things. There’s someone outside me noticing” (Emma)
“You’re less vanilla than other trainers might be. Interested in injuries and performance and willing and able to go into some depth for research. You’re willing to look at things beyond the general aches and pains.” (Mark)
Where I Train

Equipment
Our sessions will rarely feel repetitive. I work across the full toolkit of functional strength equipment — barbells, dumbbells, cables, and instability tools — progressively layering load, variety, and complexity as your movement vocabulary develops. The goal isn't work for its own sake — it's to build a body and a mind that can keep problem-solving.
