About Charlie

I’m a Certified REPS Level 3 Personal Trainer and Advanced Yoga Alliance Yoga Teacher.

With over twenty years’ experience training my own body for sports from rugby to surfing to mountain biking, I relish the different challenges my clients bring to the table every single day.

My goal is always to help my clients not only solve their issue but build a set of skills they will have for life - while having a laugh along the way!

About the lesson

Whether it’s improving general fitness, finally fixing injuries or performing at the highest level in your chosen sport - I’m passionate about using my knowledge to help you achieve genuinely transformational results with less stress.

I work with men of all ages and fitness levels - from professional athletes to busy dads - helping them zone in on the specific areas where they want to achieve serious results or simply make better lifestyle decisions from weight training to stress management to nutrition.

Before we get started, I offer a free 30-minute video call to understand your specific goals & motivation and identify where my coaching can offer the greatest benefit.

For clients wanting in-person sessions alongside online classes, I travel to London every 4-6 weeks to do sessions in a park or at their place of residence.

Having worked online since 2020 with great results (see my reviews for more detail), I find this combination offers the best of both worlds.

If you have any questions please let me know. I look forward to working with you!

Best,

Charlie

Perfect! Really impressed with Charlie, he has designed me a program that takes my specific goal of improving my fitness for surfing fully into account - I'm sure he could do this for other sports too. He incorperates strength, flexibility and yoga training with mindfulness and breath work to create a super unique and beneficial package - we are even working on things that will help me recover from my night shifts which have been super helpful and something I have not come across before. Easy to get on with and knows how much to push me, all in all very happy with the sessions and would highly recommend!

Perfect! Charlie is a really thoughtful and progressive trainer. He brings a much more holistic approach, more so than I have ever experienced before.

His attention to detail and intentionality makes him the perfect trainer for anyone looking to see and feel better not only physically but mentally too.

I personally came to Charlie with a slightly abstract goal of improving my skateboarding and helping me increase the longevity of being able to skate, well into my older years. Charlie has helped me with this already and I’m looking forward to continuing our work together.

I didn’t expect Charlie’s work to influence my work and personal life but it did, positively. The work we do on breathing has been great for preparing for pitches and big presentations.

Highly recommend.

Excellent! The strength of my tutor was communication. The reason for this is because even though the session he planned out for me was not ideal for me with my mobility issue after numerous session and communication each other about it , he was able to prevent further money and time loss by telling me his experience about chiropractor, which I was considering to do but wasn’t to sure. However, thankfully I changed my mind immediately while having the time to think about it and his back story of being with a chiropractor which didn’t benefit him at all in the long run which confirmed that this option was not suitable and going to someone within the same field that could help me.

Perfect! Charlie doesn’t teach a set of Asanas and breathing techniques. Yoga has transformed his life, and the depth of Yoga beyond these Asanas comes alive in Charlie’s teaching. He is an excellent communicator, bring calmness to the session. I came back to here and now in his sessions, where life is unfolding. I would highly recommend Charlie to anyone, who would like to learn Authentic Yoga.

I’ve known Charlie since we were 13 years old. Our paths drifted apart when we left school. Skip forward 14 years and we meet again but in a slightly different capacity - on the mat!

Having known Charlie and followed his journey into yoga and onwards I knew I could trust him when it came to finding a guide, teacher, trainer, or guru to help me do my work.

Charlie merges the esoteric and the physical in a very straightforward manner but without oversimplifying it. He applies his knowledge and understanding of the human anatomy in a very practical way; early on he noticed nuances in my posture and form and gave me the tools I needed to begin correcting my misalignments.

He watches and listens from his heart. His diligence and commitment to his craft and his clients is unique, he’s interested, dedicated, and caring.

If you are looking for someone to help you tap into your true self and refine your daily practices to become the best version of yourself look no further because Charlie is your guy!

Charlie offers a unique blend of expertise in both the mind and body. He has a holistic approach that is not overly dogmatic in any one practice but combines elements from all he has learned over many years. He is incredibly supportive and was able to unlock so much potential with his optimism and empathy.

What age did you start playing sport? Tell us about this time or moment in your life.
I started playing sport from a very early age - as soon as I could kick a ball! Rugby, football, cricket, swimming, cycling - I pretty much gave everything a go. However, as I entered my late teens and twenties I got into surfing which meant I needed to work on my flexibility and balance. This is how I first discovered yoga which led me on the journey to becoming a professional yoga teacher and personal trainer.
What are your favourite sports; those that you practice at a high level, a simple hobby, and a sport that you'd still like to discover?
I love to watch rugby because of the sheer physicality and athleticism of the athletes involved. I've recently started trail running in barefoot shoes which is a fantastic way to connect to nature. And as for a sport I'd still like to discover - I'd love to skydive with a wing suit on - as close as you can get to flying!
What gives you the motivation and passion to pursue your sport?
It's not really about pursuing one sport - it's above being physically and mentally ready to do any kind of activity. I love that feeling of being "actualised" - ready to do anything, anywhere, anytime. To me, that is what fitness is all about.
Do you have a sporting achievement that you're particularly proud of?
I won my school high jump competition - the feeling of getting a prize for jumping higher than anyone else was pretty cool! But more seriously (and recently!), surfing the biggest wave of my life in Indonesia and doing my first triathlon a few years back were both achievements I am proud of.
How have your achievements and challenges made you a better sportsperson?
Whenever I'm doing something active - I'm usually out in nature. I think nature provides the most demanding and most rewarding challenges. Whether it's paddling in big surf or running up a mountain - this is when you find out how to not just be a better sportsperson, but a better person in general.
If you had to go for a jog with a famous athlete, who would you choose? And what questions would you ask them?
Perhaps controversially, I'd go jogging with a man called Swami Sivananda. He isn't around any more but is essentially responsible for bringing yoga from India to the rest of the world! Apparently he wasn't just into doing yoga postures - he loved running and was very into physical fitness beyond yoga. I'd like to ask him what he thinks about the world today and if he could recommend any yoga posture - what would it be?
How do you help people stay motivated?
Understanding the reason "why" they are undertaking yoga or personal training. When I understand that - I can keep reminding them of it and how it will benefit them. This is the best way to motivate someone as it is coming from them - not me!
What makes you a Superprof in sports?
The fact that I really do live this lifestyle. I practice yoga and do exercise of some kind each and every day. It's part of me and I really enjoy sharing it with other people to help them improve the way they experience themselves and their daily life. After all - the body is where we live, so it makes sense to make it the best it can be.

I help busy, professional men get fit, strong & flexible using techniques from PT to Yoga to Breathwork
