Fitness Training Scotland Tutor and Assessor

My passions

I’ve been involved in health and fitness from a young age from athletics to strength and conditioning, so I have always kept myself disciplined with fitness since leaving the army and developing my skills in the fitness industry.

I have a keen interest in Olympic weightlifting and highland games. I am very passionate about teaching and passing down knowledge and information that will help younger fitness professionals become great coaches. Out with the fitness industry my other passion is music, I play the drums in a pipe band and compete in various competitions throughout the summer
