I was always an active child and was constantly obsessed with some sport or Physical activity. my activities included; Parkour, boxing, running, skatebording, BMX'ing, American football, Roller Hockey, Inline skating, mountain biking, basketball and taekwondo. But things didn't really get serious until the age of 18 when; disillusioned by my apprenticeship and the prospect of a life as a welder and metalworker, I decided to join Her Majesty's Royal Marines Commandos.

My impulsive nature meant that when I saw an ad online I signed up there and then, Quit my Apprenticeship and my job. all without talking to my parents or long term girlfriend at the time.

I had no idea what I was doing but what I did have is 100% commitment to my goal, no plan B.

I put everything into becoming a Royal Marine, I worked out in the Gym for 4-5 hours a day 5 days a week, I ran 8-12 miles, 3 times a week and squeezed in press ups and pull ups anywhere I could.

when I made it past; the screening, pre-requisite physical tests and mental challenges. I joined the 8 month basic training and the challenges really began. It was not a smooth ride by any stretch of the imagination; I was back trooped once for a minor injury and twice for failing assessments, I had to take 2 weeks welfare leave to visit my mother in a mental hospital after she attempted to commit suicide and amongst numerous other challenges along the way, finally I broke my foot 2 weeks before my Commando tests (I kept this quiet for fear of being backtrooped again and facing up to 6 months in the rehab company)

finally after almost exactly one year, I passed out as a Royal Marines Commando and realised I had achieved what the 99.9% who "need not apply" couldn't.

I went on to have an career of around 7 1/2 years and then chose to leave and pursue a more family oriented lifestyle.

After leaving the Marines I gained qualifications in Personal Training, Nutrition, strength and conditioning and others and then went out to seek a career as a PT. I worked in several Gyms, working long hours and making what equated to much less than minimum wage and when it came time to pay my gym rent, I never had the money so eventually I gave up on the traditional methods of being a personal trainer and decided to build my own gym in my garage and focus on clients that I truly wanted to work with instead of begging for any clients just to keep the lights on.

And this is how I operate today. 

My main mission is to help others in anyway I can through my story, experience, and knowledge, to me that means pushing out free content and that is what I try to do.
