Months? We’re closing in on 13 years in the fitness industry at this point…
2013) I gave up as a professional touring actor altogether and put my efforts into fitness full time. First job as a group exercise instructor at a women’s only gym…
2014) after beginning boxing with a charity match I started earning some pocket money with a couple of white collar bouts while training as a PT
2015) my foray into commercial gym management…
2016) is giving fitness model 💅 having the time of my life at this point teaching 30 odd gym classes a week and PTing all hours of the day, I honestly loved it so much
2017) became an AFN certified nutritionist. Hardest course I’ve ever done, chemistry was never my bag.
2018) won silver medal at the East Midlands box cup, my first and last tournament. Decided I was too old to be getting punched in the head after this.
2019) my last year of “proper” group exercise instruction as well as PT and the launch of my online coaching platform
2020) after a long lockdown training people online I started training people in what was at the time my backyard
2021) made the backyard a permanent setting with the introduction of my first shipping container
2022) took on my assistant coach
2023) fresh branding to reflect the space and community I was creating
2024) second container
2025) The 2nd Annual Backyard Olympics squad: cos playing out is what? Fun-da-mental!
Over a decade doing this Tom foolery, can you believe it…?
