I have recently sold my very successful printing business, so I can pursue a career in fitness and personal training. I have been coaching in running and athletic clubs since 1999.
In February 2022 I had an heart attack and had 2 stents fitted, and after a week hospital did the 8 week cardio rehab course, so I have big interest in rehabilitation and GP referrals. Within a few weeks I was back running and training in the gym. I ran a half marathon just 3 months after the heart attack and a full hilly off road marathon after 8 months. Since then I have gone back to competing in road running and cross country leagues for my club and in 2023 did a 33mile Ultra Marathon.
I was told in April 2023 that my heart was back to normal.
I have been competitively running and cycling since 1990 and competed in ironman triathlon's in many countries. I have also been an instructor for strength and circuit training classes at Ivanhoe college in Ashby de la Zouch.
I feel I am in a very good position to help clients over 40 in the gym, as I can empathise with there situation. I have completed a Level 2 in gym instructing and I am currently finishing my level 3 personal taring course and have paid for another 10 CPD courses.
I have a passion for fitness and I can comfortably talk and mix with all people of all ages and backgrounds. I have experience in first aid and I am DBS checked.
