Lloyd Ngochi

“Since a young age I’ve had a deep passion for health and fitness competing in numerous disciplines ranging from mountain biking to football and rugby. Living such an active life can come with a price sustaining numerous injuries resulting in surgeries so I understand the challenges of having to start over again.

However, from working as a manual handling trainer and with adults who have acquired brain injuries and physical limitations I have gained valuable skills which I apply to fitness to harness the full potential of not only myself but the people I work with.”
