Train with a
method, not a
guess.
Get genuinely stronger, leaner and moving better, on a plan built from real anatomy and biomechanics and shaped around your body, your goals and your week. Most plans are a guess dressed up as a programme. Mine isn't. In-person in York or online, anywhere in the world.
BSc-qualified, injury-aware coaching. Beginners to athletes. You only stay because it works.
Every session has a reason behind it.
Professor Personal Training runs on science-driven programming, not guesswork. Deep knowledge of anatomy, physiology and biomechanics means every plan is written for the person in front of me, works around injuries and limitations, and builds real, lasting strength.
Programming is split into six-week blocks and auto-regulated week to week, blended around your work and home life so it actually fits. Whether you want to drop body fat, get genuinely strong, or move and feel better for the long run, you'll always know what you're doing and why.
I came up through competitive powerlifting and strongman, and I've coached everyone from complete beginners on their first session to experienced lifters chasing a PB. It's the system I wish I'd had from day one.

Where the work happens.
Strength, conditioning, mobility, recovery. Different tools, same standard: nothing in the session that isn't there for a reason.
Coached every rep.
In person in York or through your screen, you're never left guessing. I watch the movement and cue the next one.
A coach who's actually done it.
I've been an athlete my whole life, from taekwondo, ice hockey and football as a kid to competing in powerlifting and strongman, and these days arm wrestling. I was prepping for Olympic weightlifting when a run of shoulder dislocations forced me to step back and rebuild from the ground up. Coming back from that taught me more about training around injury than any course ever could, and it's a big part of why I coach the way I do.
Beginner to athlete
I meet people at their level and push them beyond it, whether it's your first session or your hundredth.
Any goal, covered
Strength, fat loss, functional fitness and longevity, body recomposition and sport-specific conditioning.
Built around your life
Programming blended around your work and home commitments, so it's something you can actually stick to.
Train your way
From a one-off bespoke plan to full hybrid coaching. Flexible options, no lock-ins.
When I'm not coaching or under a bar, you'll usually find me out on an airsoft field, and I train for a body that still works at 60, not just one that looks good at 30. I'm also not the coach who bans your favourite foods. I've never once turned down a pizza or a tub of Ben & Jerry's. I stay active, I stay in shape, and I keep the balance, because it's the only version of this that actually lasts. I coach you the exact same way.
- Arm wrestling
- Airsoft
- Powerlifting & strongman
- Balance over extremes
- 01Every exercise has a reason. If I can't tell you why you're doing it, you're not doing it.
- 02We train around your injuries, never into them.
- 03No food is banned. Balance beats willpower every time.
- 04You stay because it's working, not because you signed something.
- 05You've got to enjoy it. Buy into the plan in your head and your body follows.
Before you start.
Not at all. I take people from total beginners to experienced lifters and athletes. Every plan starts with a conversation about your goals and history, then meets you at your level and progresses safely from there.
In-person sessions run in York, at The Gym Group and UltraFlex on Foss Islands. Online coaching is available worldwide, anywhere with a phone and an internet connection.
Plans start at £60 for a one-off bespoke training plan. Online coaching is £80 a month, and hybrid coaching with in-person sessions in York is £160 a month for one session a week, or £285 for two. Message me and I'll point you to the right fit.
No lock-ins. Coaching runs month to month and the one-off plan is a single payment. The only thing I want you committed to is showing up for yourself.
Yes, it's one of my strong points, and I get it from both sides. I've rebuilt my own training around a serious shoulder injury, so I know what it's like to work back from one. With a solid background in anatomy, physiology and biomechanics I build your training around your injuries and limitations and fix the weak links behind them, so you train pain-free and stay that way.
We talk through your goals, your history and anything that's held you back, then I show you exactly how I'd get you there. No pressure and no jargon. You'll come away with a clear next step whether we work together or not.
Everything runs through Everfit, my coaching app. Your bespoke plan lives there and I build and update it as you progress, with a video demo for every exercise so you always know exactly what to do. You message me directly for on-demand check-ins, send short clips of your lifts for movement assessments, and track your sessions, habits and nutrition all in one place on your phone.
Yes. Training is only half the picture. Online coaching includes nutritional guidance built around your life. Simple, sustainable habits, no extreme diets and no foods banned forever.
Know your numbers.
Good coaching starts with data, not guesswork. Get a quick, science-based estimate of the calories your body needs each day to lose fat, maintain, or build muscle.
It's the exact starting point we'd refine together when we chat, then build your whole plan around.
Estimate only (Mifflin-St Jeor), in kcal/day. Your real plan is tailored on your consult.
Let's build your plan.
Drop me a message with where you're at and what you want to achieve. Your first consultation is completely free, no pressure and no obligation, and we'll map out exactly how to get there.
Bespoke from day one, no lock-ins, cancel any time. You stay because it's working, not because you're tied in.
