I’m not your average strength coach. I’m a product of discipline, deep life experience, and a bit of beautiful chaos.

I picked up my first York dumbbells at 12 and never stopped lifting. Not just weights, but people. Over the past 25 years, I’ve coached CEOs, professional footballers, Olympic athletes, endurance enthusiasts, overworked parents, and anyone else ready to take control of their body and mind. I meet people where they are. No fluff, no gimmicks, just results and real talk.

My journey started with martial arts and evolved through bodybuilding, then CrossFit, and eventually led me back to non-conventional strength practices inspired by ancient Indo-Iranian and Japanese systems. Now it’s a blend of modern science, ancient practice, and a hint of art. It’s not just about building muscle. It’s about building resilience. Mind over muscle. Strength with purpose.

Whether we train in your home, in a private studio in Leeds, or work remotely online, I keep things focused and tailored. You won’t find branded cars or Insta-perfect nonsense. Just honest coaching that works.

For over a decade I ran RAWFIT, a fitness equipment brand that built a strong reputation before it folded in 2019. It was a tough end, but part of the journey. Now I’m building a men’s strength and resilience retreat for those over 40. A space to reconnect with strength, brotherhood, and self. It carries everything I’ve learned along the way.

I’m a father. A thinker. A man who has walked through personal loss and still shows up with strength and compassion. I’ve carried heavy things, in and out of the gym, and I’m still standing. Still lifting. Still helping others rise.

Built by life. Powered by purpose. Always lifting
