If you don't know already, I'm Gaz.
I've been a self employed personal trainer full time for over 12 years, starting off training clients before that around my full time office hours. I’ve built my brand and my business from nothing, to now owning an established and successful gym in Manchester, Sweat Shed and becoming a well respected public speaker, educator and coach in the fitness industry.
I was in a band full time from my teens before working the shirt and tie, 9 to 5 for the best part of my twenties, all up until I discovered my true passion helping and developing myself and others in the world of strength, fitness, nutrition and overall health.
I was never obese or massively overweight but I had a beer gut, a poor diet, socially smoked and lived the rock n roll lifestyle touring with my band for years. Once that stopped I went into office work, thinking it was what I had to do. I decided it wasn't - at all. I struggled with my mental health for years to the point where I nearly took the decision to end my life. I left my job, I trained seriously and started to look after myself first, then I got qualified, studied a lot, read a lot of books and watched a lot of videos, absorbing as much information as I could about mental health and physical fitness.
I've completed and attended countless courses/workshops and trained with some of the greatest in the business across the world.
After becoming a Dad for the first time in 2021 and then again in 2023, I began to fully understand how being a busy parent could impact overall health and fitness. I decided to step up and to take control, setting myself personally some huge goals to achieve in the future. I am currently the fittest I have ever been and continue to PB in all my events.
I've helped my clients lose weight, build muscle, gain strength, run faster, perform better, feel stronger, eat healthier, relax more, develop mobility, improve mental wellbeing, return from injury and stay injury free.
This is a brief overview of my life but in short, my focus is to help you become the best you can be.
