🏔️ COMING SOON… RISE – Trail & Ultra Running Academy 🏃‍♂️

Learn. Train. Explore. Recover.

Have you ever wanted to get into trail running but didn’t know where to start?

Maybe you’re comfortable running on the road but the thought of heading into the mountains feels intimidating.

Or maybe you’ve got an ultra marathon on your bucket list and don’t know how to make that first step.

Over the years I’ve spent hundreds of hours running the trails of the Afan Valley, learning what works, making mistakes and building the knowledge that only comes from experience.

Now it’s time to share it.

Introducing the RISE Trail & Ultra Running Academy.

A 4-week programme designed to give you the confidence, skills and fitness to enjoy trail running properly.

Every Saturday you’ll get:

🎓 30-minute workshop
Each week we’ll cover a different topic including:

* Running technique
* Climbing and descending hills efficiently
* Nutrition and hydration
* Essential trail running kit
* Using running poles
* Map reading and navigation
* Trail safety
* Race preparation

🏃 1-hour guided trail run
Put what you’ve learnt into practice on some of the best trails the Afan Valley has to offer.

💪 45-minute gym session
Strength and conditioning specifically designed to improve your trail running performance, reduce injuries and make you a stronger runner.

❄️🔥 1-hour recovery session
Relax in the plunge pool and sauna while chatting with the group and recovering ready for your next adventure.

The Grand Finale

On the fourth and final Saturday, we’ll head out together for a 10-mile guided trail run, putting everything we’ve learnt over the previous three weeks into practice.

You’ll use the techniques you’ve learnt for climbing and descending, pacing, fuelling, navigation and confidence on the trails, finishing the course knowing you’re ready to tackle your own trail adventures.

This isn’t about being the fastest.

It’s about becoming a better runner.

It’s about building confidence.

It’s about meeting like-minded people.

It’s about discovering just how incredible trail running can be.

Whether your goal is to enjoy the mountains, complete your first trail race or one day stand on the start line of an ultra marathon…

This is where your journey begins.

🏔️ RISE. Learn the trails. Love the trails. Become part of the community.

Launching soon.

Limited spaces available. 💪🔥 everyone gets a free T-shirt or vest . It has to be earned.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted.

Life has been busy, the gym has been through a few changes, and I’ve been working hard behind the scenes. The good news… I’ve got some exciting things coming over the next few months. 😀💪

When Mounjaro came onto the scene, it felt like the fitness industry changed overnight. I’ll be honest, it knocked me a bit. So many people turned to it, and I wondered where gyms fitted into it all.

The truth is, I’m not against it. Everything has its place.

Then it hit me…

Weight loss is only the by-product.

People think they want to lose weight, but what they really want is to move better, feel better, have more energy, be stronger, keep up with their kids, climb a mountain without stopping, and feel confident when they take their shirt off.

No injection, bottle or pill can build strength, fitness, confidence or resilience.

That comes from turning up, putting the work in, sweating a little, laughing a lot, and earning it.

That’s what I specialise in.

A private gym for men over 40.

No mirrors.
No crowds.
No intimidation.

Just proper training, good banter, plenty of laughs and people who all want to become a better version of themselves.

I’m opening up:

✅ 4 spaces at 6am
✅ 3 spaces at 7am

Package 1
Monday to Friday
• 3 x Strength & Conditioning sessions
• 2 x Circuit sessions

Package 2
Tuesday & Thursday
• 2 x Circuit sessions

If you’re ready to move like you did in your 20s, feel stronger than you have in years, and train with a great group of lads…

Let’s get to work. 💪

⚡ PATTERN INTERRUPT

“Most people are chasing the wrong result…”

Everyone gets obsessed with the number on the scales…

But here’s the truth 👇

Weight goes up. Weight goes down.
Life happens.

What actually matters is this…

👉 Moving without pain
👉 Feeling stronger week by week
👉 Having energy again
👉 Getting your life back

These results here aren’t just “lbs lost”…
They’re people who can now move better, feel better, and live better.

And that’s what I care about.

Because I can’t compete with injections, quick fixes, or shortcuts…
But I can compete with this 👇

Real people.
Real progress.
Real change that actually lasts.

This gym isn’t about chasing a number anymore.
It’s about becoming someone who feels strong, capable, and in control again.

If you’re fed up of starting over…
If you want to actually feel better in your body…

Drop me a message or comment READY and I’ll show you how we do it 💪

He had a stroke…

Now he’s moving better than most men in their 30s.

Let that sink in.

When John first came to me, he wasn’t thinking about abs…
👉 He just wanted his health back

He felt:
❌ Unfit
❌ Low on energy
❌ Worried about pushing himself

And like a lot of people…
👉 He didn’t know where to start

Fast forward to now:

✔️ Blood pressure back to normal
✔️ Resting heart rate improved
✔️ Stronger than ever
✔️ More energy than he’s had in years

But this is the bit that matters most…

👉 After his stroke, he couldn’t even lift something as simple as a baking potato

Now?
👉 He’s lifting weights confidently
👉 Moving freely
👉 And proving what’s possible

This isn’t about weight loss.

This is about:
👉 Getting your body back
👉 Getting your confidence back
👉 Getting your life back

And the best part?
👉 John’s just a normal bloke who decided to start

👇 Be honest…

Do you feel like your body’s gone backwards the last few years

The problem isn’t motivation…

It’s not knowing what the hell you’re doing.

Most people go to the gym and:
👉 Walk around
👉 Try random machines
👉 Get bored
👉 Stop going

Then blame themselves.

It’s not you.

👉 You just don’t have a plan

That’s the difference with what we do here.

👇 Ever felt like this?

Be honest…

Do you feel like it’s too late for you?

Too late to:
👉 Get fit
👉 Lose weight
👉 Feel confident again

Most people I speak to think exactly that.

They think:
❌ “I’ve left it too long”
❌ “My body’s gone”
❌ “I wouldn’t even know where to start”

I’m 44…

And I’m in better shape now than I was years ago.

Not because I’m special.
👉 Because I follow a plan

👇 Be honest… which one are you?

1️⃣ I want to change but don’t know how
2️⃣ I’ve tried before and failed
3️⃣ I know what to do but don’t stick to

⚠️ This is your warning…

Spots are limited.

Not because I want them to be…
👉 But because they HAVE to be to keep quality high

If you’ve been:
❌ Thinking about it
❌ Putting it off
❌ Waiting for the right time

This is it.
