~ 3x Gold Medalist in Grappling Industries Masters Category (Gi and No-Gi) - 2024I have two decades of practical experience across a range of disciplines. I started out playing sports and competing in school athletics, eventually pursuing a career in bodybuilding as a young adult before realizing that it wasn't a sustainable practice for me. This led me to an intermittent but ongoing yoga practice, which continues to this day. After leaving the world of bodybuilding, I was drawn to endurance sports such as long-distance running and martial arts like Muay Thai, Sambo, and Aikido.
Now, at the age of 32, I'm more dedicated to training than ever before. I train every day, focusing on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu while maintaining my gym practice and general physical preparedness. For me, this means achieving a balance of strength, flexibility/mobility, and cardiovascular fitness.What types of training programs do you offer?
Programs can be customized to fit your individual goals and needs.
Typically I offer two types of training programs. The first type is a specialised program focusing on individual aspects of training such as strength, flexibility/mobility, cardiovascular fitness, weight loss and hypertrophy.
The second type of program is a more generalised approach, in line with the principles of "General Physical Preparedness", the concept associated with legendary strength coach Pavel Tsatsouline and the Russian military.How do I get started with personal training?
