When you're boxing nothing else matters. I got hooked on the adrenaline, there is nothing like it!
As a kid I used to watch boxing with the family on TV. I loved it and wanted to take it up. Perhaps not surprisingly I was told nobody plays at the sport of boxing! It’s too dangerous! What if you get hurt?
Instead I played just about every sport in the following years. In some I easily reached national level, in others I had to persevere just to keep going without much progress. Back then as a kid it seemed easier to keep fit and find time for myself.
Fast forward a few years. After working in the city for a number of years and with family commitments I understood when people say life takes over! I had put on a lot of weight and I was not doing as much fitness training as I wanted. I knew I had to spend time on myself to continue to be successful but I didn't want to go to another boring gym, or on a treadmill for the next 6 months to achieve little progress.
I had to find something stimulating, exciting, new and challenging.....
And so at the age of 27 I returned to my original path, my passion....BOXING
The rest is history. Four years later I was British Kickboxing Champion.
I was lucky enough to learn in a place that was engaging, challenging and I didn't have to lose my front teeth to improve. Yes, it is possible!
I have trained with some great fighters and great coaches and have gained invaluable insights and knowledge along the way. I can now pass that knowledge and experience on to you.
I'm a fully qualified and insured Level 3 Personal Trainer - I'm the person who can give you the motivation to achieve your goals. Train with someone who has been British champion, taught fighters and trained highly successful people to reach their goals. I've been there and done it.
