About Tony
The Philosophy
The Coach
Former international rower representing Great Britain, with medals from the Commonwealth Games and Henley Royal Regatta — sport and performance have always been a huge part of my life. I also became a World Indoor Rowing Champion and still hold the World Indoor Rowing 100,000m team relay record from 2004. My personal best over 2,000m is 5:56, a time I’m very proud of.
These days, my focus has shifted from competing to empowering others. I’m passionate about helping people improve their fitness, build healthier habits, and enjoy a long and active life through movement and better nutrition. I combine years of elite rowing experience with practical coaching to help others achieve their goals — whether that’s stepping into indoor rowing for the first time, winning races, or simply feeling stronger and more confident each day.

The Nutritionist
I specialise in guiding busy individuals and athletes toward better health, longevity and performance through smart nutrition. My philosophy focuses on real-food, flexible approaches that support your lifestyle — whether you’re training hard, juggling work and family, or aiming simply to feel more vibrant.
What you can expect:
-
A predominantly plant-forward eating style with flexibility for meat and fish — what many refer to as a “flexitarian” approach, emphasising whole grains, legumes, vegetables and nuts, and occasional animal-based foods.
-
Inclusion of evidence-based methods such as intermittent fasting or time-restricted eating, when appropriate, to support metabolism, body-composition and gut-health.
-
Priority on natural, minimally processed, organic and sustainably sourced foods — supporting recovery, performance, general wellbeing and gut-microbiome health.
-
Clear guidance on avoiding or minimising the impact of excessive sugar, artificial sweeteners, ultra-processed foods, preservatives, trans-fats, saturated fats, antibiotics in meat and unnecessary supplement use — all of which may undermine gut health, immunity and long-term energy.
-
Tailored meal-planning, timing and intake strategies based on your body-type, activity levels (from everyday movement to competitive training) and personal goals.
-
Nutritional programmes adaptable to vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian and omnivorous lifestyles — because one size does not fit all.
My promise to you:
You’ll receive practical, sustainable strategies — not fad diets or rigid rules. I’ll use my years of high-performance sport and coaching experience to help you build a resilient body, sharper mind and a lifestyle that supports strong health for years to come.
