At 59 (picture left) I realized I had let myself go. Having been relatively fit most of my life, competing in dozens of triathlons and half marathons, I knew I had to do something pretty drastic.

My health was still good but I was not prepared to give in to old age. After doing some research, I made big changes to my diet, joined a gym and began my program. In the past my fitness regime was always about cardiovascular endurance with virtually no resistance work. Consequently I didn’t have great muscle mass and strength, which probably resulted in my gaining weight fairly quickly.

So this meant my program was not going to be about quick weight loss but about being better nutritionally, as well as being fitter, stronger and generally healthier for the rest of my life.

The picture on the right is me, nearing the age of 62, in my own garage gym, with resistance training being my main focus.

Resistance training as we age is absolutely essential. As we age we lose muscle by 1% every year if we don’t work to maintain it. Bone density and strength also diminish as we age.

Moving on from then to the present (2025) Im still in great shape heading towards 68 and still as enthusiastic as ever about training clients to get them to be the best version of themselves possible.

My health is still great, still not on any medication. Working out to at least to maintain my fitness along side running a now predominently mobile Personal Training service using some cutting edge training technology which you can check out below.
