I started working with Troy at the beginning of March 2020 , 3 weeks before lockdown commenced. At that time, I was at my heaviest, suffering with lower back pain and lacking any physical strength or endurance. Of course I knew that I had to move more, exercise; but I lacked confidence, (real) technique eluded me and previously I just gave up and compounded the problem.
I thought I’d try out a PT, expecting the service to be the same as working with a Gym member of staff in private. Troy offers much more - he’s like a wellness guru. My initial goals were to learn some basics build my core strength and the foundations for an independent and energetic life. I’m still at the early stages of my journey but I’m proud to say that not only can I side plank and split squat, but have muscles appearing that weren’t there before.
My biggest struggles were always going to be technique but Troy provided online videos, follow-ups and an on-line Lockdown community to keep me engaged and on track.
My advice to anyone considering engaging a PT is to give him a call - talk to him - he’ll listen to you. He’ll be honest with you and he won’t judge. What have you got to lose?

I’ve been working with Troy for 2 years now and yes I’m stronger and fitter than I was.
I could tell you how hard he made me work about the sessions but that would actually be completely missing what Troy has done. He’s made me believe that I can do things rather than hope I can, he’s helped me to get over self doubt when things haven’t gone as I’d hoped. There has never been any judgement just encouragement. He’s been on hand to answer questions and guide me through problems whenever I’ve asked.
I can attribute some of my best performances to working with Troy and the positive words he has after these have been genuinely been humbling. Apparently it’s my hard work, but it’s his time and effort on the journey we are on that should be recognised, his belief in me has pushed me to achieve.
Which brings me to the current day, if you are reading this then we are currently 8 weeks into “The Lockdown” and Troy has been on hand to guide me and others through this. He’s shared his knowledge and experience and helped to make a difficult time, a positive and productive one.
Would I recommend Troy?, absolutely without hesitation. If you have a goal no matter what it is Troy will help your reach and surpass it.

I started working with Troy in February this year focusing on improving mobility and general fitness - my walk to the train station was taking its toll on me owing to poor posture and flat feet.
Once lockdown started we moved to virtual sessions and focused on keeping healthy during these somewhat testing times.
Following Troy’s advice I got rid of the cheese and biscuits and ate more protein. Practically this meant more steak - always a good thing!
Our training sessions are kettlebell, body-weight and resistance-band exercises with brief chats about philosophy and politics between sets.
I can say with utter confidence that, thanks to Troy, lockdown has given me time to reflect upon what’s important and improve my health.
My fitness goal back in February was to be able to put a jumper on without getting out of breath - a distant memory now.

As the 90 days draw to an end I’ve been reflecting. I am super proud as this is the first thing I have stuck to and I have be able to live my life and enjoy the food I love!
Thanks for all the support, it’s made me so much more confident and I refuse to go back to how I was, mentally and physically!
Troy is a rare being - a coach that actually listens to you.
He really takes the time to actually find out what you want from training and tailors sessions to fit your needs.
I really appreciate the evidence base he draws upon when giving advice.
Working with Troy, I get injured so much less than I used to.”

“ I recently followed an online program devised by Troy on MyPTHub. Really easy to use, warm up and three different workouts meant I didn’t get bored.
In app timer for rest periods. I feel stronger and my running and cycling feel like they have improved by doing the Wonder Woman Program.
Highly recommend it, you will get stronger!”

Bias declaration. I love kettlebells. There, I said it! So let me just clarify one thing. Resistance training of any kind is great. I don't care if you are a bodybuilder, powerlifter, CrossFitter, kettlebller (is that a word?) or a Calisthenics guru. If you are performing repetitive movements under load you are doing resistance training and you are, therefore, strengthening your bones, muscles and mind and I applaud you! But seeing as Kettlebells are my personal favourite and the tool I use the most with my clients to help them become physically and mentally better versions of themselves, this article will focus on kettlebells, so there!
I’m assuming you know what a kettlebell is and that you also know what a beer is but why are these two, seemingly diametrically opposed, items combined into a fitness program? I’ll answer that question in a moment. But to clarify, Kettlebells & Beers is an online group fitness coaching program aimed at men over 35. Before getting more into what the program offers and how it works, let me answer some common questions.
How can being stronger help you to be a better runner? I can answer that by directing you to this blog from my archives. Basically, being stronger helps to improve power output and sprint speed. It can reduce injury risk, increase stride length and improve oxygen economy. Those are the main evidence-based benefits. So why don’t more runners compliment their running with strength and conditioning?
