At a young age I had what you would politely call a ‘slightly larger’ build. At school I was given the nickname Teddy (I’ll let you guess why).

At a young age I had what you would politely call a ‘slightly larger’ build. At school I was given the nickname Teddy (I’ll let you guess why).
At college, whilst studying for a Diploma in Sport I started to understand that I needed to improve my nutrition for the best results in my fitness. Since then regular exercise and sporting activities, combined with a balanced healthy diet has had a huge impact on my self-confidence and my body.
Over the 10 years of playing rugby I have picked up more than my fair share of sport injuries including; ankle and knee ligament tears and a serious tear in one of my rotator cuffs. None of these come close to the injuries I sustained in October 2015 when I was involved in a road accident. The following 18 months or so consisted of 3 major knee surgeries and meniscus repairs with my return to competitive rugby coming in Sept 2017.
During the early stages of my PT career, I realised that the training blueprint used by the larger corporate gyms could not be adapted as a one-size fits all solution. Every client came with their own story, whether it was body image, identity issues, nutritional imbalance, mental health or stress management. I realised that for me to offer the best service to my clients I needed to emphasis the ‘Personal’ in Personal Trainer.
My own story, combined with the stories of the clients I have been working with since 2018 formed the basis of me starting WinFit; which you can read about in the Why Win-Fit? Section of this website.
