Summary

"I began my journey in the fitness industry over 15 years ago as a personal trainer. From walking the gym floor to earning a degree in Sports Science, I ultimately joined the Royal Marines. There, I specialised as a Royal Marines Physical Training and Exercise Rehabilitation Instructor.

After nearly a decade in the Marines, it has become my mission to elevate the standards of aspiring Commandos and anyone with ambitious training goals, ensuring they have built the solid foundations needed to achieve & succeed.

I’ve seen too many potential Commandos fall short because they hadn’t built the physical and mental resilience necessary to conquer the challenges ahead.

Remember: the bigger the foundation, the taller the tower.

If you are interested in working with a military preparation team that has over 40 years of Royal Marines experience and has coached over 1,000 military recruits to earn their Green Beret, we’re here to help you walk the personalised path to becoming a Commando or achieving what you once thought was once impossible.

0:09.5	Well, since then, I have actually been using my products, and I have had incredible success.
0:14.5	There was initial blood work that was extremely detailed, and based on that, they offered supplementation.

0:29.9	lots of aches and pains, dihexa to help cognition after multiple punches to the head and shift work
0:36.1	and peptides. Four months later they they did a detailed blood work again,
0:40.1	and I was actually able to taper off two of the peptides
0:43.2	because my body had responded so well to just one of them
0:46.3	that it was optimized at that point.
0:48.5	So I cannot speak highly enough of the immense range of supplementation
0:53.4	that they offer, whether it's male health,
0:55.6	female health, peptides to boost your own testosterone, which I would argue is needed by a lot of
1:00.7	the fire service, or whether it's exogenous testosterone needed, especially after TBI's or advanced
1:06.5	age. Now, as I mentioned before, the other side of this company is an altruistic arm called
1:11.9	the Transcend Foundation, which is putting veterans and first responders through some of their
