ABOUT ME
I’m Sean, a personal trainer from Nottingham, UK.
I’ve been coaching people for almost 10 years now, both on the gym floor and online, during which time I've helped 100's of people reach their fitness goals.
I primarily work with people who want to get stronger, gain muscle, and - as a result - feel more confident in themselves. I've always taken a performance-first approach with my clients, and it still brings me joy when I see someone start to realise just what their body is capable of.
During my time as a coach, I’ve seen which strategies work really well over a large sample size, and I’ve put them all into practice in my signature "Big & Strong" program, which focuses on developing strength in the squat, bench press and deadlift, while also building a physique that looks as strong as it is.
I was never particularly athletic as a kid. Until my mid 20’s in fact, I spent my time mostly playing video games and eating a diet comprised of burgers and cookies.
One day I decided enough was enough; it was time to get myself in shape.
My story almost ended five minutes after it started, when I suffered a massive anxiety attack during my first time using an exercise bike. But, I pulled myself together and tried again the next day. And the day after. And, before long, I had a pretty positive relationship with exercise, developing some good habits along the way.
Unfortunately, I proceeded to spend the next few years at the gym making all of the typical beginner mistakes: jumping from program to program, trying to write my own program (lol) and generally just spinning my wheels. I had no clear goals to work towards, and exercise in general started to become quite frustrating.
That's when I discovered powerlifting. It gave me a crystal clear focus on getting strong, which shifted my priorities towards how I felt, rather than how I looked. It's no exaggeration to say this new approach was life-changing for me. Now I feel bigger and stronger than ever, free from injury, and in the best health of my life.
I use all of this first-hand experience to make sure my clients don't make any of the same mistakes that I made. You get to make all the same progress that I've made, but you get to do it in a fraction of the time!
