A BIT ABOUT ME
Born in Kent, I moved to France at the age of 7, spending 13 years immersed in a culture that shaped my passion for movement, performance, and wellness. Fluent in French and Spanish, I adapted, evolved, and thrived. Rugby was my foundation—I started at 7 and turned professional at 18, competing at the highest level until 25. This experience gave me a deep understanding of strength, conditioning, recovery, and performance—principles that now form the core of my coaching philosophy.
Beyond the gym, the mountains keep me fit. I return to the French Alps regularly for running, road biking, and skiing—I absolutely love the outdoors. I compete at HYROX and ATHX which keeps me agile, while cooking, exploring, and playing musical instruments helps me relax during my down time. As an advanced PADI scuba diver, I’m as drawn to the water as much as I am to the mountains.
Today, I work with athletes, professionals, and individuals striving for more—from their training, health, and their longevity. Whether it’s building strength, transforming body composition, accelerating recovery, or unlocking resilience, my mission is clear: Deliver science-driven, personalized coaching that creates long lasting results.

Work Experience

2018
Worked as a Personal Trainer at Nuffield Health, specialising in strength training and delivering their industry-recognised 360 Health Checks. This role combined performance coaching with clinical insight — providing in-depth fitness assessments, health screenings, and lifestyle consultations to help clients improve long-term health outcomes. I gained valuable experience working alongside physiotherapists, clinicians, and wellness teams, sharpening both my technical knowledge and my ability to communicate complex health data in a clear, motivating way.
Became a self-employed Personal Trainer at Soho Farmhouse, delivering tailored training and performance support to a high-end clientele including celebrities, athletes, and high-profile individuals. Operating within a luxury, fast-paced environment required adaptability, discretion and consistently high standards. I built strong, trusted relationships while managing every element of the client experience — from bespoke programming and recovery protocols to coordinating around complex schedules and ensuring privacy at all times.
Founded a mobile personal training business, continuing to work with exclusive clients and athletes in their homes. This involved managing all logistics — including equipment sourcing, transport, travel planning, session scheduling, client onboarding and adapting high-level programming to fit varied home environments. I provided a discreet, premium service that delivered the same standard of coaching and care expected in elite private settings, while building strong, long-term relationships with high-profile individuals.

Founded and built The Conditioning Centre V1, an exclusive private personal training and small group training facility. As a one-man operation, I was responsible for delivering all client sessions while simultaneously managing the entire business behind the scenes — from membership setup, payment systems, admin marketing, branding, website creation, equipment sourcing and day-to-day logistics. I handled every detail personally, from building the space to running the accounts, ensuring a premium experience from the ground up. The success and demand for V1 laid the groundwork for the development of The Conditioning Centre V2 — a bigger, more advanced evolution of the original concept, with a larger space, additional trainers, and a more scalable operational model.
Founded, designed, and single-handedly built The Conditioning Centre V2 — a larger, upgraded version of the original exclusive private training facility. I managed every aspect of the business personally. Including training clients, overseeing day-to-day operations, managing memberships, handling payments, client onboarding, running all marketing and social media, designing and maintaining the website, managing accounts and admin, sourcing and installing all equipment, and physically building the gym space from the ground up. I also recruited and managed a small team of trainers, creating systems and workflows to keep the business running smoothly. Every detail, from the flooring to the brand identity,was executed by me, ensuring full control over quality and client experience.
