Our Story
Our VALUES
Yes, I’m older. But I believe being in my 50’s brings me a different perspective in terms of how I regard longer term objectives and also brings patience, understanding, and empathy.

What You Want Fitness Founder
Your Personal Trainer
I used to be clinically obese; 30 years of sitting behind a wheel, a desk or a dinner table while working in IT will do that. I disliked the term then and I still do and it is one I try not to use. Afterall, there are just degrees of being over or underweight, each has their challenges, and may require different approaches, but all should be treated with the same understanding and respect.
As I have matured, I have discovered different people respond differently to different motivations. We are all unique. While some want to “smash it” others prefer a calmer, more understated approach.
I have also rediscovered a love of exercise and activity, having evolved from a sedentary lifestyle to a completer of both ultra-marathons and half-iron triathlons. Having been guided on that journey by two understanding (and patient) personal trainers I now wish to help others achieve their ambitions.
Was it an easy journey? No. Did I ever fall off the fitness wagon? Yes. Was it rewarding and, ultimately, life-changing? Definitely.
