About John

I have been working in the fitness industry since 1998. During that time I have worked for some of the biggest health clubs in the country including David Lloyds, Virgin Active, Greens, Total Fitness and Fitness First.

I have also been Fitness Conditioner for Castleford Tiger RLFC, Gateshead Thunder RLFC and Morley RUFC.

I have been Personal Training since 2001 and during that time I have helped Geoffrey Boycott regain his fitness after cancer and also helped other clients come back from injuries, etc. I have also trained three Miss Figure competitors to top 6 placings and numerous other amateur sportsmen and women looking for that professional edge. Most of my client base however is regular men and women that simply want to set higher standards for their own health and fitness and to improve the way they look and feel.

My sporting background began in swimming and rugby league as a schoolboy swimming for my local club and playing rugby for my town team. I then moved to Rugby union until an anterior cruciate ligament rupture ended my playing days. It was then that I began weight training and in 2004 took up Natural Bodybuilidng.
