The Real Story
A PT Who Forgot To
Show Up For Himself
I was in the best shape of my life. Then I chose the business over the body. Told myself I'd get back to it when the money was sorted.
Then a right hip flexor injury I ignored for too long spiralled into chronic lower back pain, and one night after a leg session — I woke up and could barely move. A disc herniation confirmed by MRI.
Years of helping other people transform while mine quietly fell apart. I'm done pretending otherwise.
When I moved to the UK, I was scared. English wasn't my first language and I wondered how I'd ever coach people through that barrier. But fitness is universal. People in Newcastle looked past the words, felt the dedication, and trusted me with their health. I've never let them down. If you've ever felt intimidated or out of place taking that first step — you're in the right place.
"Making a comeback is harder than starting fresh. Because you remember exactly what you used to be capable of. That gap — that's the hardest part."
