my Mission & story

As a BWL qualified weightlifting coach and qualified Strength and Conditioning Coach, my mission is to help you achieve your goals, whether those goals are based on general strength and conditioning or sports performance. 

For the past decade I have been an enabler of sporting success; I have competitive experience in both weightlifting and swimming, and delivered strength and conditioning training for adult and youth athletes at recreational level up to international Rugby Union. 

I offer coaching through face-to-face training, online and group sessions. Since 2020 I have managed my own weightlifting club in the West Midlands to inspire individuals to try out weightlifting to develop both physical fitness and mental wellbeing. Not being based in the West Midlands isn’t a problem – i have developed online weightlifting training programmes for international athletes from Dubai, Japan, USA and Ireland to improve technique, strength and overall performance.

Client Testimonials

“Connor has been an absolutely great support in helping get to the goals that i want! He is supportive in person and over the phone, sets challenged to help get to your goals, and has helps with nutrition and gym sessions when not with him.

Connor you are a great PT and you have been great support to help get my goals! Thank you Connor !!”
Michael William
“I train with Connor. Having had a food plan from him for just over two months, spending four one-to-one sessions learning proper technique for lifting free weights (as I'd never done it before), and now having had a full training routine for five weeks I've found that the pair of really nice jeans I bought myself before starting are now too loose to wear comfortably. Excellent service, already seeing results, and Connor is always able to answer any questions I may have. Gutted about the jeans though. If you buy some and then start training with Connor, keep the receipt - you'll need it!”
Neil Stringer
“Started my day off going back to school. As i get older i am so comfortable with starting again. I am a Strength and Conditioning coach but i know i need someone to coach me how to move better and rectify all of those little mistakes i have picked up over the years so that i can be a better coach.

Connor is such s exceptional coach!”
