Winner: Personal Trainer of the Year 2023

Named Personal Trainer of the Year at the national Innovation & Excellence Awards 2023 — my first national title, and the proudest moment of my coaching career so far.

Personal Trainer of the Year. National. I’ve read those words a hundred times and they still don’t feel real.

The Innovation & Excellence Awards recognise businesses and professionals judged across the whole country — on expertise, innovation in how you work, and most importantly, the results you deliver for your clients. To come out of that process as the UK’s Personal Trainer of the Year is the kind of recognition you quietly dream about when you start out in this industry.

What This Award Was Judged On

  • Client results — documented transformations and long-term outcomes, not before-and-after marketing.
  • Expertise — depth of knowledge across training, nutrition and behaviour change.
  • Innovation — my private 1-2-1 studio model and the way coaching, nutrition and accountability are combined.
  • Consistency — client satisfaction and retention over years, not months.

What makes this one special is that nobody buys their way in. It was decided by an independent industry body looking at the evidence. For every client who’s trusted me, turned up on the dark mornings and done the work — this is your award as much as mine.

The story didn’t end here: in 2024/25 I won Personal Trainer of the Year for a second time. See the full trophy cabinet — eleven awards in five years — on my awards page, or read the full story behind every trophy in Inside My Trophy Cabinet.
