“Often, clients don’t believe that they are a good enough 'athlete' to warrant help. But remember, whether you are aiming for a 5k, an ultramarathon or you simply enjoy participating in a team sport, you have a goal - you are trying to better yourself, and you deserve to give yourself the best chance to achieve that goal.
If you’re struggling with any injury or performance barrier and would like to feel stronger, train smarter and be more resilient.
I’d love to work with you, and together we’ll find a sustainable and successful approach to your training, to get you back on track.” - Kriss

Fiona’s Story
“Originally I started running to lose weight, to become a smaller version of myself. This unfortunately led to over training and an eating disorder. I suffered pain, I was miserable and felt very lonely.
Whilst suffering with a SI Joint Dysfunction, I eventually broke down. My body couldn’t take any more. I started to see how it was affecting me but also how it was affecting my family and I had to try and fix it. I had to realise that this wasn’t a priority anymore and I had to shift my mind. I had to admit that I needed help and to overcome this.
I first met Kriss in September 2019, we talked about where I was now and where I wanted to be. Within 6 months Kriss had me running a half marathon. My body became stronger and so did my mind.
Investing in myself was the best thing I could have ever done. Kriss shared with me his knowledge and resources, and once I had started to implement them, I soon realised I was in good hands.
I think by having a goal it made it a bit easier, something else to focus on. It wasn’t linear by any means, but I continued to work hard to overcome fears and invest my time to learn how.
Now I am stronger, I run faster, my running technique is so much better and therefore I don’t fatigue as easily. I am fuelling correctly (Food for Running Success), so therefore I recover much quicker. Which is important when you have a busy training week.
When you start seeing results it makes you more determined. Following a personalised training plan, consistency of training and good nutrition has bought me a balanced life. I have also gained resilience and confidence.
I really do feel the best I have felt in a very long time. Forever grateful.
P.S. Train because you love your body, not because you hate it. We all want to get fitter, faster, stronger and not for punishment.”
