Tell us what interests you most about fitness and well-being.
'The way it is endless, so many things to learn and go through, lots of new paths - and probably the fact that the simple things tend to work the best.
Seeing someone who believes they cannot do something achieve what they seen is impossible.
Understanding that as people get older fitness becomes more important - working with various age groups has been incredible seeing that age doesn't matter if the application is there.'
Tell us about your own fitness journey and future goals.
'I like to train sporadically, I am not obsessed with exercise, I have always played team sports.
My aim is to develop more of a love for my own fitness regime, and focus more on the strength and sustainability element to allow myself to play football for as long as possible.'
What’s the best piece of advice you can offer to someone who is thinking about getting a Personal Trainer?
'Do it if it has even crossed your mind, I find nobody regrets trying and a higher percentage of people really enjoy the outcomes.
Even if it's not forever it is an opportunity to gain an expert's insight - like I say I don’t try and fix my own car engine I take it to a mechanic because I know they are qualified.'
What’s your least favourite job at JW Fitness?
'Hoovering.'
Finally, which famous TV character is most like you?
