Background
Im a fully qualified fitness professional with a career in the industry spanning +25yrs over which time my philosophy and training methods have evolved considerably.
I got into training as a schoolboy looking to improve my strength and conditioning for rugby, then after University i adopted a traditional weight training style using split routines for muscular development.
I then started researching newly termed ‘functional training’ methods and went on my first kettlebell course. It totally blew me away and I dived headfirst into practicing the art, and acquiring more knowledge & certifications.
I discovered there was a sport of kettlebell lifting, so I started competing in the first ever competitions organised in the UK. I continue to compete and coach others in these ‘Endurance weightlifting’ events and hold several UK records and titles.

Client Testimonials
Read what my satisfied clients and students on my courses have to say about their experiences with my Personal Training services and coaching style
Tim is a phenomenal trainer and I really love training with him - he is focused, encouraging, knowledgeable and practical! My work is full on, involving long hours and travel, plus I am a keen horse rider in my spare time. I wouldn’t do weights left to my own devices, but Tim has definitely converted me to the benefits of cross training and kettlebells. My training sessions are totally bespoke for me and my lifestyle - he works me really hard and has studied what I need for my sport, so the training has really helped me develop the strength, balance, endurance and flexibility that I need for my riding and competitions. I can really see the benefits and couldn’t do without our sessions now. We used to train in person in Canary Wharf, then moved to Skype at the start of Covid and when I’m away with work which has really helped to maintain the continuity. Tim also specialises in injury rehab so, whatever you’ve been up to, he will always come up with a creative idea for what you can do to get some valuable training in!!
Clare Beale - Online PT Client
I have been ‘going to the gym’ for years but at 43 I am fitter and stronger than I have ever been all down to Tim’s training. Every session with Tim is challenging and progressive.
He has also given me confidence to walk into a gym to train by myself and know what equipment to use properly.
Tim is very passionate about his job and he has a real skill in being able to explain clearly how to do an exercise, what muscles are working and how it should feel when you’re doing it, he is very knowledgeable, motivating, and has a genuine interest in everyone that he trains. It’s rare that I even let a holiday come between me and my 2 sessions a week with Tim!
Elise Noble - Online PT Client & Online KB Sport Class
You have made a tremendously positive impact on my health and happiness and I am extraordinarily grateful!
You have singlehandedly toned me up and slimmed me down and I have genuinely enjoyed working with you over the last 5+ years, and our workouts besides keeping me healthy, have also kept me sane. You are an exceptionally talented trainer.
Morgan McKenny - In-Person PT Client
Such an awesome day of learning delivered. Taken so much away that's going to help with my coaching as well as incorporating things into my own training.
Would do it all again, thanks very much for sharing your knowledge.
