The Story Behind WinFit
From Teddy
to Coach.
01
Personal Transformation
As a kid I had what you would politely call a 'slightly larger' build. At school they called me Teddy (I'll let you guess why). At college, while studying for a Diploma in Sport, I learned I needed to fix my nutrition to get real results. Since then, regular exercise and a balanced diet have made a big difference to my confidence and my body.
02
Rugby Career & Injury Recovery
Over 10 years of rugby I picked up more than my fair share of injuries, including ankle and knee ligament tears and a bad tear in one of my rotator cuffs. None of them came close to the injuries from a road accident in October 2015. The next 18 months meant 3 major knee surgeries and meniscus repairs. I made it back to competitive rugby in Sept 2017.
03
Professional Philosophy
Early in my PT career, I saw that the one plan the big corporate gyms used does not fit everyone. Every client came with their own story, whether it was body image, identity, nutrition, mental health or stress. To give my clients the best service, I needed to put the 'Personal' back in Personal Trainer.

Why WinFit?
My own story, plus the stories of the clients I have worked with since 2018, is why I started WinFit. Every client is different, and every win matters. WinFit isn't just about fitness. It's about training that fits your life and keeps working.
