TRAINS Specialising in putting together the best of what you need to fulfil your goals.

LOVES Like my training style, my interests are many! Podcasts and learning new things. All things human movement and psychology. I love getting outside and exploring. Getting out on the ocean with the occasional dive. Exploring inner worlds with meditation, and generally doing my best at improving the meat vehicle I’ve been given.

EXPERIENCE 5 and a half years as a professional coach, 17 years self exploration of different training methods with me as the test subject. I subscribe to being a training generalist and think the human body should be capable of more than only moving heavy things (although we certainly want that ability too!). My training is what I consider a holistic blend of mobility, strength, power and grace. We want to move pain free and with fluidity using the best tools for the job at hand.

Experience
Every athlete I work with has their own goals as well as their own unique limitations. If you have a BIG goal and would genuinely like to get there, I can make it happen. It may not be today, or tomorrow, but with the right advice, planning and preparation you will be well on your way in just a short time. My business BluePrint Muscle is about forming the foundation of your dream physique from the ground up. Just like any marvellous construction, you need a blueprint, a plan to make sure that everything is done properly and lasts a lifetime.

Experience
The health and fitness industry is one of the hardest yet rewarding industries you could ever work in. I have been in the industry for 8 years now and have witnessed the high’s and low’s, and the exercise fads to go with it. But I remain as dedicated and passionate about the industry as i did 8 years ago.

There aren’t many more things more rewarding and satisfying then helping people achieve their health and fitness goals.
