About Us

Why Black Sheep Fitness?

What we do here is different. Over a decade spent working with people in pain and delivering the pain free results they were looking for has meant that Black Sheep Fitness has become the place to go for intelligent fitness solutions. Where the movement is the medicine and your freedom from daily discomfort and increased quality of life is the ultimate goal. With this unique insight into how the body moves from the ground up and the brain down, it translates well to any fitness goal. Working with national and international level athletes as well, to increase performance and keep them injury free, demands the same guiding principles and attention to detail.  We look at you differently and train you differently because you are unique.  

How Does It Work?

The main premise is that we are above all else, a movement company. It may sound strange, but without movement, you have nothing. We aim to give you movement that is strong, clean, powerful and most importantly for many clients, pain free.

There are two main modalities that are used to allow you to get the best from your body. The first is brain down and using Neurokinetic Therapy (NKT) principles, we see what your brain can find and connect to in your body and try to establish strong connections to your muscles. After all, if you can’t find it, you can’t use it.

This is backed up and reinforced with a ground up approach based on Anatomy in Motion (AiM). This is a joint centred methodology whereby the movement of a joint elicits a muscular reaction. We can fine tune the movements to get the desired pain free response creating much safer and stronger whole-body patterns. 

Sounds Exciting…What Can it Fix?

It is exciting because it allows me to tackle long term issues with a proven system and means that you don’t have to play the pain game. Some of the most common reasons that people come to Black Sheep Fitness are low back pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, neck pain and foot pain. Basically, if there’s an area that hurts that you cant get rid of, get in touch.

About Me

After leaving the officer life in the Royal Marines, I embarked on the challenge of raising two awesome humans before qualifying as a Certified Master Trainer following an intense course at the European Institute of Fitness and founded Black Sheep Fitness. My passion for fitness and a natural curiosity about all things human movement orientated meant that I naturally fell into the world of rehabilitation and efficient pain free movement.  Couple that with an engineering brain and you get a constant drive to learn, experiment and apply new and developing principles to the human body to provide you with the best possible service.

You’re Welcome
