***NEW TEAM MEMBER***
Delighted to introduce and welcome John!
I bring almost 25 years of experience across Strength and Conditioning, exercise rehabilitation, and high‑performance coaching. I’ve worked with a wide range of clients, from older adults and people recovering from injury to professional athletes, boxers, and competitive Olympic weightlifters.
Alongside my coaching background, I currently work with Thrive Mental Health, where I support individuals facing emotional, social, and psychological challenges. This work has deepened my understanding of how essential mental wellbeing is to long‑term physical progress. It’s also shaped how I coach: I recognise that confidence, safety, and connection are just as important as sets and reps.
That’s one of the reasons I’m proud to be part of the Blast Boxing community. Blast creates an environment where people feel welcome, supported, and able to express themselves a space where movement becomes a doorway to better mental health. I see firsthand how boxing can help people build resilience, reduce stress, and reconnect with a sense of purpose, and I’m grateful to contribute to that mission.
I’m also a three time British Masters Weightlifting Champion and have competed internationally, giving me lived insight into long term athletic development, discipline, and resilience. I share this experience not to impress, but because it informs how I support others with empathy, structure, and a focus on sustainable progress.
My coaching style is supportive, person centred, and grounded in clear communication. Whether I’m helping someone return to daily function or preparing an athlete for competition, my priority is creating a safe, inclusive environment where progress feels achievable and overall safe.
Welcome to the team! 👌🏻🤝🥊❤️
