Training Methods and Equipment

I use a wide variety of training methods which I constantly review and update – this is essential to prevent boredom and a lack of progress in your training. I also spend a lot of time studying the latest ways of doing things and trying them out myself before introducing them to clients.

I believe that you can train effectively almost anywhere with a minimal amount of equipment – if you have a good pair of trainers, you’re halfway there – but a variety of  ‘athletic toys’, even cheap, homemade ones,  can make things a lot more interesting!

Here’s a list of the some of the equipment I use:

Concept 2 Rowing Machine, Schwinn Airdyne Evolution Comp Bike,

Hyperextension/Roman Chair, Power cage, Free weights (barbells/dumbbells),

Kettlebells, Resistance bands, Tyres, Sledgehammers, Sandbags, Plyo boxes, AbWheels,

Medicine balls, Pull-up Bars, Gymnastic Rings, Skipping ropes,

Agility Cones/Ladders, Swiss/Balance Balls, Foam Rollers…
