Embracing Resurgence:

A Journey of Renewal and Strength.

I’ve always said that I will never let an old person into my body.

As a man of 57, I’ve come to appreciate the inevitable changes in our bodies and minds as we age. Yet, a quote by Wayne Dyer has become a beacon for me.

THE TURNING POINT

Embracing Change & Resilience at 57

At 57, I understand the physical and mental shifts that come with age. A lifelong passion for fitness didn’t shield me from illness—in 2020, Covid-19 hit, and Long Covid followed.
What started as a mild case became an 18-month battle with breathlessness and countless medical checks. I wasn’t just losing physical strength—I was losing myself.

This was the catalyst. I knew I needed more than recovery. I needed a Resurgence.

Part Two

The Internal Fight

When Health Tests Don’t Give the Answers You Want

In early 2022, I turned to Ross Tomkins of Alphagenix to explore testosterone therapy. My levels were surprisingly strong—so treatment wasn’t necessary. It was the first time I wished a test would fail, just to have a reason for how I was feeling.
I was fatigued, mentally flat, and emotionally drained. Yet, outwardly, I kept up appearances. As a fitness professional running my own studio, I had to “look okay”—but inside, I was crumbling.

Part Three

Rebuilding from the Ground Up

Small Wins, Big Momentum

Starting again was brutal. Just five minutes on the cross-trainer left me breathless. But I stayed consistent. I celebrated micro-progress—extra minutes, more resistance, one more rep. I slowly regained my strength and passion. A photo shoot became a milestone. Seeing the transformation sparked pride, confidence, and hope.

Even so, I faced dark moments. I tried antidepressants—something I never thought I’d do. It was humbling but important.

That chapter reminded me that mental health is as crucial as physical strength.

Part FOUR

The Philosophy of Resurgence

Reclaiming Energy, Strength & Identity

“We’re all born small and weak. We all grow old and weak. What you do in between is up to you.”

I live by this. My work with the NHS, helping over a million people during Covid, showed me that strength and balance training can change lives—especially for those over 60.

Through decades of training, learning, and working globally with elite coaches, I’ve built a method that works. This isn’t theory—it’s been tested in real lives, including mine.

Part FIVE

Leading by Example

The Physique Challenge at 57

To push myself further and inspire others, I entered the world of physique competitions in 2024. Competing against men a decade younger, I placed in every event, including two British Championships. It terrified me. And that’s why I did it. My journey continues. Resurgence is not a one-time fix—it’s a mindset. A decision to fight back, stay strong, and live with purpose.

“I’m not done yet. And neither are you.”

My message to you.
