About me
Hey, I'm Elliot.
Personal trainer, nutritionist, basketball coach, and someone who genuinely believes effort counts more than perfection.
01
How it started
I started training when I was 19 with my best friend. And if I'm being completely real, the reason I started was because I wanted to look good for girls 😂.
I've always loved sport, so training was something I found easy to dedicate myself to. But as I got older, the reason I trained changed. The gym became my therapy, my escape and somewhere I could switch off from everything else going on in life.

Where I am now
I'm 37 now and training is still a massive part of my life. I'm a qualified Personal Trainer and Nutritionist, I coach basketball in my spare time and I still play myself.
One of the biggest things basketball coaching has taught me is that everybody is different. I've coached different ages, abilities and personalities, and you quickly learn that what works for one person might not work for another.
That's the same approach I bring to personal training.

How I coach
I'm not here to shout at you for an hour or make you feel bad because you missed a session. I want to understand you, what you're trying to achieve and what you actually need from me.
I'm social, I like having fun and I want training to be something you enjoy. But I'll also challenge you, keep you accountable and probably be your number one fan when you start hitting your goals.
Why E4EFFORT?
E4EFFORT means Everything 4 Effort.
To me, there's no such thing as failing when you're making an effort to move your body and improve yourself.
It doesn't matter if you've trained for 20 minutes or smashed a 90-minute session. It doesn't matter if you've lost 1 kg or 20 kg. Sometimes even just getting yourself through the gym door is a win.
The effort might look different from day to day, but we keep making it.
Nervous about starting?
If you're nervous about starting with a PT because you haven't trained before, you're out of shape, you've been away from the gym for years or you simply don't know where to start, let's just have a conversation.
I'll listen to what you need, where you are right now and where you'd like to get to. Then we'll take it from there.
EVERYTHING 4 EFFORT.
