Powerlifting & Strength Coaching
A Wide Base Builds A High Peak.
Smart, individualised coaching built around your body, your lifestyle, and the long game. Whether you’re stepping onto a competitive platform or walking into a gym for the very first time, I’ll help you build lasting strength without burning out.
Most coaches either know how to push elite athletes or they understand what it feels like to be completely out of shape. Very few have lived on both sides of the fence.
On the platform, I’ve won National titles in Powerlifting, represented England at the 2024 Commonwealth Championships in South Africa, and brought home two Bronze medals for England in Winnipeg in 2026. Over the last seven years, I’ve coached lifters from their very first barbell session all the way to the national stag with an average client retention of over two years.
That’s the athlete side. Here’s the human side.
A few years ago, after a long break from training and a job that had me living out of a suitcase, my weight climbed to 21 stone 9 lbs (137kg). After a health scare, I decided to sort it out. Even though I’d spent my youth in gyms, walking back through those doors felt genuinely terrifying. Over the next 18 months, I dropped 11 stone (70kg) and kept it off.
That experience shapes everything I do as a coach. You won't get cookie-cutter spreadsheets or 250% volume spikes that leave you broken and burned out. You get smart, individualised coaching that meets you where you are and builds you up properly.
My business is now operating out of Complete Performance, Basingstoke, Hampshire & several sites around London. Check here for online more coaching options.

Thousand of hours of Training People made me realise that to get the best results requires extensive education. There are plenty of coaches in the industry that get away with a basic Pt qualification.
Maybe due to imposter syndrome In the past 15 years I've spent over £90,000 on educating myself on Human Performance, Nutritional Intervention, Physique Transformation and Motivational and Psychological Techniques. I have learned from the best experts in the industry attending courses, further learning, seminars and mentorships. I've paid to learn from the best to be the best. I used scientifically proven systems to get optimal results.
