“I’M NOT A PERSONAL TRAINER?!” I qualified as a PT back in 2006 and had such hopes for my new future helping people. In my mind (and the minds of others too), I have never looked like the advertised PT which people see in magazines or down the gym. Even though I was strong and […]
As I write we are in week 12 of Lockdown, and let`s be honest, these have been a dramatic few weeks. The frontline workers have been truly world class, and we are so thankful to have an awesome NHS, Police, Fire Fighters and lets not forget, supermarket, bin men etc, if I have missed anyone […]

Freddie’s story is both one of incredible success and struggle. Having burst onto the world stage in the early 1980s Spencer instantly proved to be on, or beyond, the level of Kenny Roberts and […]
