About Coach

I like to think I’m a fun, approachable, and empathetic person who will always do the utmost to help others. If you are interested in any online programming and/or personal 1:1 training, please do get in contact!

Fresh out of the University of Exeter, I want to put all the knowledge I’ve gained into practice. I’m most excited to implement my knowledge of Advanced Strength & Conditioning, Performance Psychology, and Physiological Determinants of Performance. These modules carry over well for individuals looking to get in shape or maximize their performance. Alongside my degree in sport and exercise science, I have also undergone my level 1 CrossFit trainer qualification to maximize my understanding of the fundamentals of CrossFit.

These include Olympic Weightlifting, Gymnastics Movements, and sport-specific CrossFit Movements. In the past, competing in both boxing and football has enabled me to work with others and overcome individual challenges associated with sporting pressures. This puts me in good stead to understand the needs of both team and individual athletes.

Finally, for two years at university, I was the squad captain of the boxing committee. This gave me my first real experience programming throughout long periods of the academic year getting our boxers into shape.

Turning Point

Starting CrossFit has definitely changed my life for the better. I started out as a 74kg boxer with no desire to compete in any other sport to now weighing 95kg, competing regularly. I have never felt as strong or happy as I do now! This is absolutely down to the awesome community at CrossFit Onen. After finding CrossFit, It confirmed to me that coaching and programming are what I want in the immediate future. If you asked me to describe myself in a sentence I would probs say: Just a Cornish 22-year-old who is obsessed with fitness and excited about helping others obtain their goals!
