My back going into spasm, being prescribed strong painkillers and signed off work when I was 26 inspired me to take action on my own health as I believed there had to be a better solution than painkillers so I entered the ballot for the 1998 London Marathon and got in first time! I wasn’t much of a runner until that point and had to start!

Crossing the finish line changed my life. I felt a sense of accomplishment I’d never felt before and came away with a desire to help others do amazing things like I’d just done so I quit my job as a Pizza Chef and retrained to become a Personal Trainer.

If I can do it, anyone can!

Despite becoming fitter than I’d ever been, and doing literally everything, my back continued to go into spasm. It wasn’t until I went on a Functional Performance course, where I learned how the body actually moves, that I found a solution to my own problem. With a couple of exercises, I went from having spasms every few months to none in the last decade.

My Approach

I design my coaching around you and your goals, focusing on helping you become the best version of yourself and achieve much more than you hoped for at the start.

It’s about creating a series of positive habits, improving how and when you eat as much as what, taking more time for yourself and getting better sleep as well as improving your fitness. I’m here to help and support you every step of the way.

Meet Steve

In my spare time, I love running outdoors, early in the morning, exploring my local area and most of the photos you see on my site are photos I’ve taken on my runs.

My own goal is to run a 3hr marathon at Loch Ness in September in order to qualify for a Good For Age place at the London Marathon, the race where my journey in fitness in started.

When I’m not working, you can often find me in one of Perth’s coffee shops, at Perth parkrun on Saturdays, where I’m Event Director or at the Perth 10k race in August, where I’m the Race Director.
