Here, he gives us the lowdown on how he trains, what he eats, and where his relationship with wellness sits today.

From a young age I was competing: I had spells at Premier League football clubs as an early teen, played League 1 rugby in my early 20s and – like so many guys – believe I could have made it if it wasn’t for injury (in my case, a couple of ACL ruptures). **I started working in a gym at 15.** This progressed from a reception job to taking classes, coaching one on one, and starting an online personal training platform. I was probably at my most athletic in my early 20s but can still hope of getting back to that point… **I love to work out outdoors.** If the weather permits, I go for a run, work out in a calisthenics park gym or swim in [Sea Lanes Canary Wharf](https://sealanescanarywharf.co.uk/). I’ve noticed I now enjoy working out with other people more, probably because I can be lazy on my own. **Boxing is my current obsession.** There’s no better place in London for it than [JAB](https://jabboxing.club/). As someone who’s a little broken for contact sports these days, I can get a piece of that competition while still having fun. Otherwise, if I’m lifting weights, I usually just make use of my [Shoreditch House](https://www.sohohouse.com/houses/shoreditch-house) membership. ![Metal Vent Tech Short-Sleeve Shirt from Lululemon](https://media.slman.com/tA0u6eud5CZUCh5V4z3Ti4ksl_c=/600x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fslman.com%2Fsites%2Fslman%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F10%2Flululemon-metal-vent-tech-short-sleeve-woven-t-shirt-ps68.jpg) [#### Metal Vent Tech Short-Sleeve Shirt](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=57911&awinaffid=69421&platform=dl&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lululemon.co.uk%2Fen-gb%2Fp%2Fmetal-vent-tech-short-sleeve-shirt%2F153160463.html) ##### Lululemon £68 ![Performance Protein from Form Nutrition](https://media.slman.com/UggLKAd_Tp7_Cq5Mbxp3dTYw_yE=/600x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fslman.com%2Fsites%2Fslman%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F10%2Fform-nutrition-performance-protein-ps27.jpg) [#### Performance Protein](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=20167&awinaffid=69421&platform=dl&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fformnutrition.com%2Fplant-based-nutrition%2Fform-performance-plant-based-vegan-protein-powder%2F) ##### Form Nutrition £27 ![Loop Dream™ from Loop](https://media.slman.com/jTYDkhD_YKhcT1C_yunzG4H8OvA=/600x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fslman.com%2Fsites%2Fslman%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F10%2Floop-dream-12-earplugs-ps65.jpg) [#### Loop Dream™](https://www.loopearplugs.com/products/dream?variant=49607655424335) ##### Loop £44.95 ![Ultra Stretch Active Shorts from Uniqlo](https://media.slman.com/cKELAwKWzYNVqTdSF3DeyMVxaqM=/600x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fslman.com%2Fsites%2Fslman%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F10%2Funiqlo-ultra-stretch-active-shorts-ps1990.jpg) [#### Ultra Stretch Active Shorts](https://go.skimresources.com?id=479X769&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.uniqlo.com%2Fuk%2Fen%2Fproducts%2FE477752-000%2F00%3FcolorDisplayCode%3D08%26sizeDisplayCode%3D004) ##### Uniqlo £19.90 **I travel so much that I always plan my workouts ahead of time.** If I’m a little tired and have to figure out how and where I will train, then I will probably talk myself out of it. But if I know the hotel has a gym, or a friend has recommended a nice run, or I have bought a pass for a local class, the only decision I have to make is when to get it done. Travel workouts don’t have to be full workouts – 30 minutes in a basic hotel gym will still have you feeling a lot better than nothing. **There is horse racing 365 days a year** **around the world** – if you want to stay fit or get fit, there is no ‘right time’. My life in horse racing is incredibly social. There are a lot of events and a lot of food on the go. I tend to eat light earlier in the day to allow for more calories towards the evening when I have events. **I take vitamin D through winter, electrolytes when flying and protein shakes when I feel like I haven’t got enough from my diet.** I keep it simple, and it seems to have worked for me so far. **In my early 20s I lived a gym bro life.** My diet reflected that – great for a six pack but not that great for enjoying life and food. I am, however, quite thankful for those years because they instilled some good habits. I eat plenty of fruit and veg, and try to include a good protein portion in my lunch and dinner.
