INJURY REHAB, ANCIENT STRENGTH AND PRIDE IN STRENGTH COACH

Let’s face it, you clicked on my profile pic because you like the idea of training with THE best looking coach around :D in all seriousness though, I can guarantee you won’t find another individual that brings such a heavy dose of sparkle to training sessions.

Life’s too short to be hung up on silly worries. Your journey at the Commando Temple will help you to realise you’re far more capable than you thought. I’d be delighted to be the individual to get you there! Along with a bucket load of giggles you’ll feel more confident, empowered and absolutely delicious.

I help clients with injury rehab, and I train in ancient strength tools like clubs, meels and shields. All the unusual wooden toys at the Temple. The kinds of things that make you look like you’ve been in an accident at B&Q if you get it wrong :-) . They’re very technical but so much fun and they challenge your body and movement precision in such a different way to usual strength tools. I work with clients 121 on these, and I run workshops and courses on them as well as using them myself pretty much every day.

I’m passionate about yoga, attending regular classes and utilising poses and flows to help clients. I really enjoy Bulgarian bags too. These are the weird leather croissants you see at the gym. Like clubs, meels and shields they challenge you in various planes of motion so very beneficial for strength and movement. A lot of these things probably just sound like random words strung together at the moment. You need to come in and see them!

I’m bisexual and I run the queer strongman workshops and competitions at the gym! Pride in Strength and Queerstrong. Both are growing and there’s a wonderful, thriving community here at the gym! Workshops are every 5/6 weeks. The comps are annually. Absolutely magical.

Sessions with me are not only juicier than a tin of beans, they will get you moving sleek and strong like a hench lizard! My emphasis is on mobility as well as strength, flexibility and conditioning. I assess client movement patterns and postures and then decipher the best ways to get them to their strength and fitness goals whilst developing resilience and keeping them moving well. All with a big smile!
