Confessions of a Personal Trainer
What I have learned from my years of coaching is that we all know what we 'should' be doing to get results but actually doing it is the hard part. I've worked with hundreds of people to help change their mindset and realise their potential. From quitting my corporate job, losing 8 stone, competing in a body building show and running a business, I share the highs, lows and reality of reaching a goal. My aim is to help as many people as I can find a love for fitness and enjoy their lives while getting results they want.
