I learned strength in the trenches, With over 20 years of competitive experience in Rugby, Strongman, and Powerlifting, I know whats required for real-world capability. Today, my focus has shifted from maximising my own raw power to sharing the cornerstones of elite performance & functional longevity via strength training.Based at Core Gym in Coleraine, I provide a professional strength system for those who want to bulletproof their health and perform at their peak—inside and outside the gym. I don't just take you through workouts; I help you build a body that is resilient, pain-free, and capable of handling a high-pressure lifestyle.My coaching is designed to fit your reality, offering four ways to train:* 1-on-1 Coaching: The ultimate in bespoke attention. This is ideal for clients who demand complete privacy and focus, or for those building the technical foundation required to eventually join a Unit.* The Strength Unit (Semi-Private): Join an exclusive 4-person group. We start every session with rotating team-based main lifts for intensity and variety, then split off for individual accessory work targeting your specific weaknesses and goals. It’s the camaraderie of a team with the precision of 1-on-1 Coaching.* Hybrid 1-on-1 Coaching: The best of both worlds. We train together periodically to refine technique, and I write detailed programs for the days you train on your own. Perfect for intermediate to advanced lifters.* Online-Only: Access my programming and guidance from anywhere in the world, perfect for those who travel frequently or want to work with me from afar.Crucially, I take the guesswork out of your hectic life. All training and nutrition is managed through a dedicated app, giving you a clear, trackable structure. We utilise personalised progressive overload to ensure you are constantly adapting and getting stronger—not just 'working out.'If your schedule becomes chaotic or travel plans change, I adapt the plan immediately. I manage the variables so you can focus on executing, recovering, and building strength.
