About Me

“I’ve always been active, but it was stepping into the gym that truly changed everything. Strength training sparked a deeper passion, not just for improving my own physique, but for understanding how to get the best out of the human body.

Over the years, I’ve dedicated myself to mastering training, nutrition, and coaching, turning personal results into a purpose-driven career. Now at Strength Lab, I help clients achieve life-changing transformations with smart, sustainable programming and expert guidance. Wherever you’re starting from, I’m here to help you level up.”

Here To Level You Up

Edward turned the enjoyment he got from watching himself & his friends progress in the gym to a career of helping clients achieve their fitness goals, and he tells us why Strength Lab is the best environment for unreal results due to the personalised, results-driven system.
