About me

My why

30th September 2017 is a day in my life that I will never forget. Whilst playing football (soccer for my American counterparts), a sport which I have loved playing since the age of 7, I suffered a life changing injury when I broke my neck. I was very lucky to not be paralysed from the neck down, or possibly even worse.

While I was lying with my head strapped to a hospital bed wondering what life would look like for me going forward I was told by the doctor that I would never be able to play football again, I would never be able to lift heavy weights and I would never be able to ski, I turned to the doctor and my exact words to him were “watch me”. I simply wasn’t going to accept what he was telling me lightly.

The days and weeks ahead were tough not just physically but mentally as well and I won’t lie there were days when I felt like giving up, but fast forward 6 months and I was back on a football pitch and back in the gym lifting heavy weights (I’ve never been skiing before so I still haven’t got round to this but trust me I will).

It was this moment when I got the all clear to resume doing the things that I love the most that I made a decision that I wanted to help to inspire others and help them to overcome their biggest struggles, obstacles and challenges and help them to get into the best shape of their life just like I have.

There have been tough times since that day with more setbacks than I could care to imagine both physically and mentally.

But if I can overcome them, then you can too.

My message is simple…….

NEVER GIVE UP!

my story

Over the last 30 years I’ve always been in and around sporting activity with football being my passion for most of that time.

I have been a keen gym user for nearly 20 years now but it’s only since my early 30’s when I started to take it a bit more seriously after training with no real direction and also starting to suffer with injuries and other health problems and decided to complete my Level 2 and 3 Personal Trainer Qualifications back in 2020 so I could start to finally help others.

I hired a coach myself for the first time back in 2019 with the aim of competing in Men’s Physique bodybuilding competitions and really haven’t looked back since.

In 2022 I competed in 3 shows winning my first show at the UKDFBA Heart of England Regional, Finishing 5th in the WNBF UK Open and finally finishing 2nd in the UKDFBA UK International Finals. I also then received an invite from both Federations to be apart of Team GB at their respective and prestigious World Championships to which I will compete for the UKDFBA in Manchester in June 2023.

This is my passion and what I love doing now and hopefully there is more success to come in the future on a personal level but also to be able to say that I’ve helped someone to transform their life is something that I hope last’s long into the future.

“I spent years and years of going around in circles and not making any progress, now thankfully I can help people to avoid making the same mistakes that I did and achieve life changing transformations both physically and mentally at the first time of asking with a plan that can be maintained long after we finish working together“

TESTIMONIALS

“After training for years with no purpose other than enjoyment and routine, I wanted to have guidance on how to potentially create a physique worthy of competition.

Choosing to working with Llion for the past few months has been excellent. We’ve been consistently hitting targets and I have seen more positive changes to my physique this last 3 months than I have done in years ! I highly recommend working with Llion as he’s very friendly, knowledgeable and makes it all very easy to follow with his own app for workouts and check ins.

I will continue to work with Llion for the foreseeable future!”

“It is a real pleasure working with Llion. One of the first questions he asked me was if I liked sweet or savoury food best. Obviously, the answer was both and I’m sure from then he knew he’d have his work cut out with me but nothing has been too much trouble and no question too stupid. He is available whenever you need support or advice between checkins and his motivational voice notes always spur me on. I cannot thank Llion enough for helping me get to where I am today in achieving a better diet and lifestyle. Thank you!”
