I am a no BS kind of guy that thrives on the success of all my clients. I use a blend of group and one-one coaching online and offline.

When I took on the gym owner role nearly two years ago.

I had no idea what it would feel like to build a community from scratch.

I just knew I wanted somewhere people could train hard, have a laugh, and feel like they belonged.

Last night hit differently.

Seeing everyone dressed up instead of in gym kit.

Laughing together without trying to catch our breath.

It made me realise just how far we’ve come.

We’re not just showing up to train anymore we show up for each other.

And there’s someone who embodies that better than most.

Lou, our True Grit Award winner.

From the moment she walked through the door, she’s been all in.

Every challenge, every charity event, every crazy thing we dream up she’s there.

No drama.

No excuses.

Just pure heart.

She’s fought through more than many ever see, yet she’s the one lifting everyone else up.

She’s the first to cheer, the loudest to support, and the last to give up.

Lou thank you.

You are U21 through and through.

Here’s to more nights like last night.

More connection.

More belly laughs.

More memories made outside the gym walls.

What a way to close out the year.

This is the way.

This morning wasn’t about looking good.

It wasn’t about fancy kit or perfect reps.

It was 4 teams stepping into the fire.

7 events designed to test who keeps moving when it hurts.

Scores were on the board.

But what really counted was the graft.

We saw people hit that moment where the body says “stop”

And the mind says “one more.”

That’s U-GRIT.

No shortcuts.

No hiding.

Just hard work, heavy breathing, and teammates who refuse to let you quit.

If you were on the floor today.

Respect.

You showed what you’re made of.

We’ll do it again.

And we’ll raise the bar.

Because here, we don’t back down.

This is the way.

Thursday night session 🦾

02/12/2025

A few weeks ago, our U21 community powered through 900km.

Made up of 10km challenges on the SkiErg, BikeErg, and RowErg.

An incredible collective effort with everyone stepping up and pushing their limits.

A huge thanks to our event sponsors.

Danny J from .ltd International Logistics and Jez Westcott of .

Your support made this challenge even more special.

And a massive shout-out to Astles for providing the vouchers!

There were some seriously impressive performances across the board, but one athlete stood out.

Jake Withey fastest times on ALL THREE events.

An absolute clean sweep.

Well done to every single one of you who jumped in.

This community keeps raising the bar and we’re just getting started.

The last time I properly laughed out loud?

Disneyland Paris.

We didn’t even know there was an Avengers park.

And me being a massive comic book nerd.

Let’s just say I nearly wet myself with excitement.

We smashed the Spider-Man ride first.

Honestly, unreal.

I’m thinking, “Yep, every ride is going to be like this.

Elite.”

Then me and Poppy jumped on the next one.

I’m expecting another superhero simulator.

No.

Absolutely not.

This thing launches like a rocket.

0–60 instantly.

Poppy was traumatised.

I was howling.

Couldn’t stop.

Which made her laugh.

But only because apparently I’m embarrassing when I’m having the best time of my life.

When was yours?

25/11/2025

Three years ago we flew out to Tenerife for what turned out to be a special moment in our family’s journey.

The reason for the trip was simple.

I wanted to head over to La Gomera to see the Talaska Whiskey Challenge launch.

I’d been working with a client for two years to get him ready to row the Atlantic.

And it felt important to be there before he pushed off.

But it became much more than that.

It was our first time travelling abroad as a family.

No schedules.

No rushing from A to B.

No distractions.

Just us.

And honestly.

I loved every second.

There’s something powerful about stepping away from the world and giving your full attention to the people you love.

The laughing-out-loud moments.

The silliness.

The conversations you don’t normally get time for.

The way your shoulders drop when life isn’t pulling you in ten different directions.

That trip reminded me how easy it is to get caught up in everything else.

Work, responsibilities, noise.

And how important it is to switch all of that off sometimes.

Because when you tune out the world, you tune into your family.

And those moments become the memories you carry for life.

In a world where everything is becoming so expensive.

🇬🇧 still have great prices.

Just bought my lunches for the week £12.

By the way, this isn’t a paid ad 😂😂😂

UNITED

Yesterday at U21 we kicked off something I’ve wanted to create for a long time.

United, a men’s fitness session built around strength, honesty, and good will.

We trained hard, but what struck me most wasn’t the workout.

It was the way the lads showed up for each other.

Shoulder to shoulder.

No fronts.

No ego.

Just men being men together.

There’s a verse that captures this perfectly.

“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.”

(Proverbs 27:17)

That’s what I saw in the room.

Men sharpening men, in the simplest and most powerful ways.

Aword of encouragement, a shared laugh, pushing through one more rep.

And honestly.

Unity like that is rare.

“How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity.”

(Psalm 133:1)

When you see it, you feel it.

It’s the kind of unity that lifts the pressure off your shoulders, even if only for an hour.

The truth is, I’ve lost friends to su***de over the years, and that sits heavy on my heart.

Good men who carried too much, alone.

And it’s made me realise how deeply we need each other.

“Two are better than one… if either of them falls, one can help the other up.”

(Ecclesiastes 4:9–10)

That’s not just poetry that’s real life.

That’s why United exists.

We finished the session with a prayer.

Not to tick a box, but to stand as brothers for a moment.

To acknowledge that none of us are bulletproof, and that showing up for each other is one of the greatest acts of love we can offer.

Jesus said.

“Love each other as I have loved you… greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”

(John 15:12–13)

Sometimes laying your life down looks big and dramatic.

Sometimes it looks like turning up to train, listening, lifting a man’s spirits, or admitting you’re struggling.

And as we move forward with United, that’s the heart behind it.

To keep showing up.

To keep encouraging.

To keep building one another into stronger, more grounded men.

“Let us consider how to spur one another on… encouraging one another.”

(Hebrews 10:24–25)

Because when men come together with purpose, honesty, and heart.

Lives change.

This is the way.

Last week was a rough one.

I found out I’ve done some real damage to my back.

A decent-sized disc protrusion that’s caused drop foot and loss of function down my right side.

The plan is to manage it conservatively and let the body do what it does.

Nerves heal about an inch a month, so this isn’t a quick fix.

The weird part is.

I don’t even know how it happened.

Woke up one morning and my foot just didn’t work.

That instability flared up an old knee injury and suddenly I was in a bit of a mess.

MRI within three days, results in ten.

All very dramatic.

And even though I work in exercise rehab, I’m honestly a terrible patient.

There’s only one physio team I’d trust with this in Portsmouth, and that’s Southcoast Rx.

Run by my good friends Cameron and Dan.

Today Cameron was outstanding.

Professional, calm, reassuring.

Exactly what I needed.

He didn’t just go through the motions or chuck exercises at me.

He listened.

He backed up what I was already thinking.

He gave me confidence again.

Practitioners forget sometimes that this is just as important as the rehab itself.

Grateful for you today, brother.

And if you’re in Pompey and need proper physio support, I’d recommend these boys all day long.

11/11/2025

Today, I’m remembering what the services gave me.

As much as we pause to remember our fallen and those still carrying their battles.

Today, I’m taking a moment to remember what the Services gave me.

From an 18-year-old boy full of uncertainty
to a 31-year-old man with purpose.

It gave me a chance to grow my knowledge.

It taught me discipline that would become the backbone of everything I do.

It gave me confidence when I had none.

And it gave me a way to make a living.

A career that set the foundations for the life I have today.

The military didn’t just shape my work ethic.

It helped me build my family, my resilience, and my values.

So while I’ll always honour those who sacrificed everything,
I also stand proud of what the Armed Forces still represent.

Duty, growth, and the chance to become something more than you were when you started.
