MY Approach

About me
I'm Richard, a 50-something personal trainer based in Cardiff. When I was younger, I was fortunate enough to represent Wales and Great Britain competing worldwide at many international competitions.
Like everyone, I am still working hard to fight off the inevitable ageing process with the usual aches and pains that come with age. This perspective, my athletic experience, and Building 20 years of personal training experience have provided a great platform to support individuals to change their lives irrespective of age, weight, fitness levels or physical ability.
testimonials
- PAUL
"Richard has changed my life. I cannot recommend him enough. I am a 3 stone overweight 47 yr old, with a total hip replacement, mum of four and busy GP. I'm very ashamed to say throughout my life exercise has not really featured. I was much more concerned with partying. One of my brothers introduced us, he has been training with Richard for 14 years. When I first started training four months ago, I could not do a squat and had never ran in my life. Now I'm doing Parkrun regularly. I have lost a stone and a half. More than this though I have a totally different mindset all thanks to Richard. Life is short you have one stab at it. It's never too late to change."
