About us

I had a very loving childhood and a strong brotherhood with my siblings, I always prided myself on always trying to look out for them. My earliest SE (significant event) was when I started playing football for a club in my teenage years, with me being naturally introverted I found football helped me express my more competitive side and I felt like started progressing very well. 

The next SE however, robbed me of any more progress in my footballing dreams, as when I was 15 years old, I got stabbed in my leg during a street fight that coincidently caused a potentially fatal blood clot in the artery. 

During my operation to seal the artery, surgeons unfortunately also affected the nerve that helped flex my foot, so in essence I could no longer play the sport I loved so much and only truly just begun. I was so floored that instead on trying to accept it and find a healthy way to cope with it, I instead coped with it with drugs and alcohol, and I kept on this trend well into my early twenties. 

It certainly didn’t help that my next SE floored me even further than I thought was possible after not being able to play football again, the event being the death of my father. This hit me particularly hard as I held hard feelings towards him before his death, so I carried a lot of guilt for not being able to help him when he was struggling as a man and was crying out for it. In hindsight, this caused my reckless behaviour turn to reckless decision making and I ended up burning a lot of bridges and making some detrimental financial mistakes to appease others. 

My next SE was whilst in a highly toxic relationship, I found myself diagnosed with stomach cancer but due to being so depressed and consumed with how my life felt like it was falling apart around me, I never told anyone and tried to keep it hidden from everyone. Fortunately, I caught the cancer early, so I undertook a routine operation to remove the tumours, however this didn’t cure my depression and after my relationship at the time broke down this then led to my next SE where I tried to overdose on medication. 

Onto my following chapter that has brought us to a huge SE that seemed like the first ray of light in my life in forever and that was meeting my now partner for life, without her presence in my darkest hour, I don’t know where I would be today. 

There I was, a shrivelled pathetic man in over £20,000 of debt, living in a shared house in a single room with my dog but yet she saw something in me where she moved in and gave me reason to live again. I taught myself on what was the most effective way to get out of debt and started trying to get my life back on track, I found myself a job I could sustain again and started make some serious progress. 

Don’t get me wrong, not everything was smooth sailing as I still had moments of darkness where depression still had its grip on me, and it didn’t always help our relationship. 

The next SE event to occur to which gave me another positive boost though was that I had managed to clear all my corporate debt within 3 years, so no more credit card debts, no more payday loans, no more bailiffs. I taught myself how important managing my money in the coming future is based on the mistakes I made and gained so much trust in myself for doing so. 

With this newfound confidence I then decided that now I put my own financial orders in place, it was time to put my physical and mental health first along with broadening my education so to progress further in a better career. 

This led to me getting myself out there more with hiking trips and partaking in more exercise, I also enrolled onto an online university course to obtain a Bachelor’s degree in Strength and Conditioning Coaching. 

I was able to start booking holidays and I began to gain valuable experience by exploring different cultures and lifestyles, a huge SE for me was going abroad for the first time as an adult at the age of 29 to Greece, that opened up my eyes to what the world truly has to offer and not just feel like the world is the bottom of my road. The end of 2022 seemed like nothing could bring me back down. 

Even though it was somewhat expected, we were rocked with the loss of our matriarch of our family with that being my Nan in January, the decline was rapid as she fought terminal lung cancer, but she fought until the very end. Me and my brothers share her same strong spirit. I think I expected myself to be more of a wreck than I actually was after my Nan’s funeral, but I felt at peace with this one that she went knowing we all loved her unconditionally and it almost helped me forgive myself for my father’s death by letting go of the guilt I held on for so long. 

What really drove that message home was when my loving dog Bruno sadly passed away a matter of months afterwards, he was my best friend who stayed by my side for 13 loyal years, and he will be forever remembered as he sits next to my Nan and Dad up there.

Looking back at it now, this was the birthplace of the first idea of me opening my own training facility to where people can come to learn how to improve themselves in all aspects of their lives.

This was by far the most impactful and significant event that has happened in my life so far, this was when I began buying gym equipment to build my own ideal home gym that I could then later use to provide 1-2-1 ‘Strength and conditioning’ sessions and offer other aspects of coaching.

To live in memory of my dearest Nan, I booked fairytale holidays that I will only be able to do once in this lifetime, like going to Iceland and Geneva, even renting a motorhome to do a road trip around the UK, all of which were unforgettable! This unlocked potential has again enabled me to build so much more trust in myself that I have finally found my own personal path to my own fulfilment and what I have planned for this 2024 and the coming years after will only add to that.
