MY MISSION
Building Resilience
"Resilience is the ability to withstand difficult situations without giving up...
We all encounter hardship in life, and we all choose to either cope or endure our battles with heartbreak, loss of a loved one, financial trouble and breaches in our mental health.
I have always looked inward at how I can change myself physically, mentally, and emotionally when seeking to endure whatever battle I am fighting in life"

- My Story -
I was never the popular kid in school. I spent most of his childhood being bullied for being overweight and a refuge, which saddened and depressed him for many years. When I was thirteen, I lost an impressive 10kg —only to put it back on again plus some more within a year.
At the same time, my grades began to decline, and I found myself failing in life...
After failing all but one subject at the end of my 10th Year in Secondary School, I decided it was time to take ACTION. I decided to seclude myself from my friends, picked up books, and discovered exercise and nutrition.
At the beginning of my fitness journey, I managed to lose 13kg within 6 months all by following the Insanity™ workout program. After doing so, I realised I had become too skinny and wanted to build some muscle mass... it was at this point where I began weight training and never turned back since.
During the summer of 2016, I qualified as a Personal Trainer, and in the Summer of 2018, graduated from the University of Brunel with a BSc degree in Physiotherapy. Since 2016 until present, I have spent thousands of hours mastering my skills... I mean thousands... 25,000 and counting to be precise. My knowledge extends from workout programming, nutritional management, biomechanics, sports recovery, injury rehabilitation, postural correction and many, many more areas of expertise.
- Building Resilience -
Up until the age of fifteen, I was the overweight kid in class whom the other kids used to point and laugh at. This made me sick, sad, and depressed every day and I thought it would plague me for the remainder of my life. After flunking my Year 10 exams, I knew it was time for a major change; I set out on a journey to attain straight A's and to give this fitness thing a real shot!
My journey began with Shaun-T's Insanity Workout Program. Let's say that was intense! Over 120 days, I managed to lose over 13 kilograms and gain a lot more confidence! For those of you unfamiliar with this program, it consists of High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) workouts 6 days per week coupled with a complimentary nutrition plan. Quite simply, if you follow the instructions listed in this plan, you can very well expect similar results!
Whilst losing this much weight was an amazing experience, I ended up looking and feeling quite frail. The problem with just doing cardio workouts is that you never gain any strength! On that note, it was time to bulk up! This time around, I followed Sagi Kalev's Body Beast Workout Program. Being fifteen years old, I wasn't allowed to purchase a gym membership so, I took matters into my own hands and built a gym in my home with whatever money and other resources I could get my hands on.
This lasted me six months before the weights I had were too light for me to lift. Enough was enough, I joined a gym at the age of sixteen - the same one I currently train my clients at. Over the next five years, I would spend 1 - 2 hours each day learning about health and fitness (oh, and studying physiotherapy at university). I learned and applied a lot of what I learned, however, this took a huge toll on my personal relationships.
This obsession with health and fitness damaged my relationship with my parents, brother, and friends. Needless to say, I had an inflated ego when it came to how 'healthy' I was and how unhealthy and unfit everyone else around me was. To no surprise, no one appreciated this attitude and therefore, no one appreciated me!
Whom do I blame for this? Not me. Social Media. Yes, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Tinder, etc. All of these platforms are a leading cause of orthorexia. What is orthorexia? This is the obsession with eating healthy and living a healthy lifestyle. You would think working out and eating healthily would be a virtue (to an extent - it is) however, once you step over social boundaries, this is where it can reach a toxic level.
