Two years ago, I faced a turning point. Sciatica had me stuck in bed for weeks, and I wasn’t looking after myself - I felt heavy carrying excess weight, tired all the time - both physically and mentally, and honestly, pretty low. I hit a point where I knew I had to turn things around.

 

I began training at the gym with modest goals - mainly to reduce the pain and drop a few kilos. What I didn’t expect was how that choice would lead to a complete transformation. It reshaped not just my body, but also my mindset, confidence, and overall approach to life.

 

At first, I thought I’d left it too late. Being in my late thirties, it felt like the window to make a real change had closed. But the more I learned about fitness, the science and literature behind it, and how the body works, the more I realised that’s not true. It’s never too late. Age, gender - none of that stops you from losing fat, building muscle, and completely reshaping your body at any stage of life.

 

Since shifting my mindset and committing to disciplined training and nutrition into my life, I’ve gone through the kind of transformation most people assume is only possible when you’re younger. I often hear that I look younger now - but more importantly, I feel it. Stronger, healthier, and more energised. That’s the kind of change I want to help others experience too.

 

My background isn’t in sports science, but I strongly believe in an evidence-based approach to training and nutrition. With a degree in Sociology and CIPD qualifications in HR, I’ve developed strong research and analytical skills — and I’ve used those to dive deep into fitness, training methods, and nutrition science. My knowledge isn’t just from a personal trainer course; it’s built on years of self-led study, practical application, and seeing real results with the people I’ve trained and advised.
