It's easy to say that I have worked with a lot of people. In fact, you'd probably be pretty worried if I didn't say that. Over the 5 years of coaching, some of the goals clients have come to me with are:
- To try and prevent having a knee or shoulder surgery
- To get down on the floor and play with their grandchildren pain free
- To walk from the car to the shop without needing pain killers
Essentially there is no 'perfect' person that I look to work with. I really want to drive this home. Often I have conversations where potential clients want to be a bit fitter before starting, or in slightly less pain. It honestly doesn't matter if you can or can't walk up stairs; I will meet you where you are at and build from there.
My clients are much better at telling stories than I am, so...
Sophie's Story
Initially, she was on the verge of knee surgery. After putting up with the pain for over 5 years and being told by doctors that there was no other choice. Now she is living life, picking up old hobbies and not worrying about her knee!
Kate's Story
From being told the next step was a full knee replacement and suffering with daily pain. To revisiting her favorite places (a castle on top of a hill!) on holiday for the first time in over 5 years. All of this after completing just 12 sessions as well!
Bill's Story
Having been a avid swimmer, Bill had to reduce his distances to under 400m due to shoulder pain. Here he just completed a charity swim, swimming 10,000m in a month (around 2000m at a time) - relatively pain free.
Dan's Story
Dan worked with me to build greater understanding of how to train and build a routine that fit his lifestyle. He was also looking to put on some size and just become stronger overall.
