Beyond Fitness

The PrimeFit Blog: Beyond Fitness

Most fitness advice is designed for 20-year-olds with infinite time and zero responsibilities. If you are a professional in your 40s or 50s, your health requires a different logic.

I created PrimeFit by the same evidence-based approach I honed during my corporate career to help Surrey professionals regain their physical edge.

The PrimeFit blog shares the evidence, coaching principles and practical strategies I use every day with clients at Lightwater Leisure Centre.

Based at Lightwater Leisure Centre, my PrimeFit programme bridges the gap between clinical mechanics and high-performance coaching.

I don't deal in 'hacks' or 'miracles', I use behaviour-based nutrition and structural strength training to ensure your health remains your most critical business asset.
