Discovering Fitness
Then, I broke my ankle and both my tibia and fibula during a football match. Unable to exercise for a while, I started to gain weight. Once fully recovered, I became an avid cyclist when I was around 14, riding 10-15 miles on a road circuit every morning before school to get fit. Inadvertently, I had discovered the effectiveness of 'fasting cardio'. The weight I had gained began to fall away, and my fitness levels soared.

Sports and Injuries
For almost two years, my injuries prevented me from returning to my sport, but I still managed to train in some way. I reluctantly retired from the sport I loved when I was 22 after receiving a few more injuries.
More recently,in September 2019, I was diagnosed with CLL, (Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia) a slow-growing blood cancer. In July 2021, I was hospitalised for five days with COVID-19, which was quite nasty. However, because I keep myself fit, I recovered well with no lasting problems – they can’t keep this old boy down! I train at least four times a week.
Becoming a Trainer
In 2017, I completed a 10-mile 20-obstacle Tough Mudder Challenge at age 59. I also started training in Krav Maga, the effective form of self-defence used by the SAS, MI5, and the Israeli Defence Force, and since then, I have been training twice a week with Patrice Bonnafoux from Urban Fit & Fearless. I qualified as a Self-Defence instructor in October 2021.
Having managed two successful gyms, (including my own for more than 21 years) I have extensive experience as a personal trainer and nutrition adviser. At the age of 63, I’m still training 3 to 5 days per week and deadlifting around 180 – 190 kg.


Feeling Young
Feeling good and looking younger than my age is just another benefit. While getting fit, you must also enjoy life to the fullest, because every day should be a pleasure. Enjoying all things in moderation is a great way to stay happy and healthy!
