Who am i?

In 2013/4 I took the leap into full time personal training, leaving my previous career behind and I have never looked back! Helping people to improve their health, physique and confidence is what makes me tick and it is a pleasure to be able to do it every day!

My passion for fitness started at a very young age and has stayed with me throughout my life (give or take a couple of ‘party’ years in my early 20’s!!). Having fallen into another career path, I decided in 2010 to make a change and follow my passion. This led to me gaining my personal training qualifications. From there I set up outdoor bootcamp and indoor circuit classes, as well as training people 1-to-1 in the evenings and weekends.

I am a Dad to 2 amazing boys and a husband to an equally amazing wife. My passions & interests include St Mirren FC, 90’s indie music, the odd bottle of red wine, food, coffee and reading pretty much anything I can get my hands on! I spend most of my spare time coaching football, watching my kids play football, playing football with my 2 boys and watching football in person or on TV. And of course I spend plenty of time training hard in and out of the gym!!
