Another happy customer made strong through the humble kettlebell...
All testimonials are important to me for one or other particular reason, because of the specific challenges each of my clients face in life.
Baptiste approached me when I was still working in London all those years back to see if we could work on improving his spinal mobility and strength.
He has scoliosis, which added an extra dimension to how I programmed his exercise regime.
At the time, I was fairly green as an S&C coach, so I had to make sure I did my due diligence and research (as I always do) on this project.
Fast forward 15 years or so, and this man is snatching a 20kg for volume comfortably(he weights 63kg).
He is one of my strongest clients, pound-for-pound.
It must be added that Baptiste is one of my most dedicated clients when it comes to uploading his workout videos on Truecoach (the coaching app I use for programming).
This positive feedback loop helps correct technical errors as well as encourage accountability. And that works both ways...he's chasing me for programmes sometimes!
I love training Baptiste and I look forward to watching him grow stronger and more resilient every time we work together.
Oh, and all this has been done on-line....
It just shows you what can be done with due diligence, proper planning and a hunger for self-improvement.
As a fully qualified Sports & Remedial Massage Therapist with over 10 years experience (and a fair number of sporting injuries picked up over the years!), I understand the benefits of soft tissue massage and joint manipulation.
Whether it be a gentle massage after a tough week at work, or a more thorough musculoskeletal MOT and service, booking a massage might be just what you need.
With all the tools and kit to provide a fully mobile massage service, you don't even need to leave the comfort of your own home to take advantage of this opportunity - we come to you!
So what are you waiting for?

She shows up for our online session twice a week at silly-o-clock with the same diligence and focus(something that is sometimes not always present in the wee hours of the morning!) every time.
Because of her consistency and dedication to lifting kettlebells and mobilising frequently, she can continue to live an active and robust life for many years to come.
Fitness doesn't have to be complicated.
Incorporating a few relevant strength exercises into your exercise regime is essential insurance to healthy and active later years.
The best time to start was yesterday.
The second-best time is today.

Check out my website in the bio for more details about the services I offer.
I've never been one for tooting my own horn, but it is rewarding when you receive testimonials such as this.
In a previous life I was an accountant, which didn't provide me with the mental and physical stimulation I wanted.
15 years ago I changed all that, now having the privilege to work with clients like Ben.
Ben is a dad like me...very little time to himself, running his own business and trying to stay healthy.
Thanks to his small collection of kettlebells at home and a dedication to his kids to stay strong for them, he's moving better than he has for years because he is committed to practicing the fundamentals of kettlebell training.
I gain tremendous satisfaction and pride knowing I'm helping someone help themselves. It's a privelaged and fairly unique position us coaches get to enjoy.
Like I like to say...I haven't worked a day in my life for 15 years, all because I get to train guys like Ben.
Too many times we look for the 'big win' or 'life-changing' this or 'mega' that.
What if the truly life-changing is an accumulation of small adjustments to our daily habits rather than one big thing?
Quality movement and sustainable load-bearing exercise fallls into that category.
It doesn't take alot of time out of your day to execute a short list of 5 mobility drills and simple kettlebell exercises.
Plus, you only need a few tools at home to get it done - some people like training in a gym environment - plenty don't. Which is one of the reasons they train with me.
I don't advertise big wins.
What I do offer is 15 years of strength & conditioning experience and learning, a down-to-earth coaching model without the BS, and real-world life experience that helps navigate the lumps and bumps of long-term strength gains as we get older.
It's never too late to move more confidently and without pain.

Bodies are like machinery in some ways...
They don't just look after themselves...

Thanks June for these kind words.
I've said this before, but I'll say it again:
This lady is an inspiration.
She shows up for our online session twice a week at silly-o-clock with the same diligence and focus(something that is sometimes not always present in the wee hours of the morning!) every time.
Because of her consistency and dedication to lifting kettlebells and mobilising frequently, she can continue to live an active and robust life for many years to come.

We all have our reasons for doing what we think adds value to our lives and others.
These 3 growing humans are my reason for forging Movestrong into the brand and business it is today.
All those early morning starts and late night finishes.
The daily challenges of running a small business in these challenging times.
The financial concerns of providing for my family over the years, giving them opportunities I wasn't exposed to.
These 3 and their beautiful mother are the reason I do what I do.
Thank you for making me the person I am today.
You're too young to know it yet, but you are the reason for everything important in my life.
Move Well, Movestrong.
