https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1nMizNv_eI After 6 years in The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, working as an Infantry Soldier and Army Physical Training Instructor, I left with a van full of bootcamp equipment and started taking sessions in West Park - Macclesfield. My vans gear box went so I sold it (had no cash to fix it) and [...]
Working on my next book! Working on my next book: Strength & Power Exercises for Fighters. This book takes a much more in-depth look at the anatomy and physiology of developing strength and power, and introduces specialist means of accommodating resistance to maximise rate of force development - producing force in minimal time!

Two Gold Medals! 5S Athlete Caroline has had huge success in the last few weeks and is at the FIS Masters races in Cortina this weekend! At the British Telemark Championships this year the GS race was cancelled because of bad weather so we raced the Sprint and Classic. Both races have the same component [...]
My 2nd Book is Now Published! It’s an indescribable feeling, publishing works you have spent countless hours on. I really enjoyed writing this book, taking the pictures and making the videos, and it has been amazing to see my publisher put it all together… They do an unbelievable job! Years spent as an [...]

My 2nd book Strength & Mobility Exercises For Runners has been full edited, and is currently in the process of being formatted ready for publishing. Blue is by far my favourite colour (as you can tell by the [...]
I am really happy with how the strength classes have evolved at 5S Fitness, Macclesfield. The strength classes started as set workouts where we had everyone work on one lift. For example, "today we are working on the back squat". However, it soon became apparent that this system wasn't the most effective when people trained [...]
Been working hard on my 2nd book, which deals with strength and mobility exercises for runners. Prior to setting up 5S fitness (a strength & conditioning gym in Macclesfield), I was an Army Physical Training Instructor in the infantry for 6 years. As you can imagine, during my time in the military I didn't get [...]
Had quite a few people come across to us from other gyms this new year. The feedback we always get is that we are much more intense than other gyms in Macclesfield, and that is something we pride ourselves on. The body reacts to intensity... If you want to make changes to your body, you [...]
