WHY ARE YOU A FITNESS COACH?
I started off as a coach because my father believed I could help people, I had only just completed my tour in the Army so I was a little lost with what I wanted to do with my life. I took on my old man’s advice and also found that I had a knack for the business/growth side of this industry so here I am today.
HOW HAS CCP SHAPED YOUR COACHING PRACTICE?
It has completely reshaped how I approach the way I assess and understand individuals. Because my demographics are made up of execs and stay at home individuals, it is imperative that I work with these people within their (physical) means and OPEX has showed me precisely how to do this (although I am constantly learning).
WHAT IS YOUR ULTIMATE TRAINING SESSION? I don’t enjoy feeling wrecked from training sessions, therefore the ultimate session(S) for me would be the ones that allow me to train sustainably and frequently.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE NOURISHING MEAL?
Steak and rice with a good portion of greens!
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE HOBBY OUTSIDE OF THE GYM?
