I wasn’t always the “fitness guy.”

Growing up, I struggled with my weight and was often the target of bullying. Sports didn’t come naturally to me, and I always felt like I was playing catch-up with everyone else. The only thing I really enjoyed back then was football, but even then, I never felt like the most athletic player on the pitch.

Everything started to change when I was 17. My grandad, who had been a bodybuilder back in his day, took me under his wing. He put me through some brutal early training sessions, but those lessons stuck with me. For the first time, I began to enjoy the process of training, getting stronger, fitter, and realising what my body could do.

I went to university to study art, but after a serious football injury left me with a broken leg, my focus completely shifted. The rehab process was tough, but I found it fascinating. I threw myself into learning about strength, conditioning, and recovery. What started as a setback turned into my purpose.

Fast forward to today: I’ve been a personal trainer  and a strength & conditioning coach since 2018. I’ve worked with everyday people, athletes, and football clubs, and I’ve loved every second of it.

But here’s the important bit: I don’t believe in quick fixes or one-size-fits-all training. My coaching is about helping people believe in themselves, build confidence in the gym, and make real, lasting progress. Whether you’re stepping into the gym for the first time or looking to push your performance as an athlete, I’ve been where you are. I know how it feels to doubt yourself, and I know what it takes to move past that.

MH Performance is built on that philosophy: no gimmicks, no shortcuts, just the right training, guidance, and support to help you get where you want to be.
