My philosophy is that the power of the mind is power of the body. The mind is the strongest part of the body. Lance Armstrong once answered a question if he had a choice whether he would have preferred winning the tour de France or cancer – He answered, ‘cancer’ His reasoning was because he had been on the other side. He preaches famously in his 2nd book ‘Every second Counts,’ that your mind can control any point in time the way you want it controlled, for example are you really hungry? Or are your eyes just too big for your stomach? If you want to reach weight loss, fitness, strength or whatever the goal, the power of your mind ultimately has the last say, remember 70% is diet 30% is exercise and 100% is discipline and commitment. Fundamentally if you truly believe in something you’ll find away to achieve it. In conjunction with Resistance, Cardiovascular Training and a healthy diet anything is possible. The only difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength or a lack of education BUT rather a LACK OF WILL.

Daniel Tewson - Performance Coach

Coaching philosophies:           

My favorite saying is, “You only get to experience life once, so don’t waste it”. Every time you do something that is bad for you or refrain from doing something that is good, you waste another small portion of whatever time you have left. I believe that self-improvement is the most important everyday goal that one can have. The more you can improve yourself, the more you will help those you care about to improve, as all of your positive actions, words, and energy will rub off onto them. With this attitude training becomes easy and enjoyable, especially as making the physical improvements to your body inevitably leads to greater and greater mental improvements… and of course a much better quality of life!

David Georgiou - Performance Coach

Coaching philosophies:           

Training clients is a passion. I get enjoyment and satisfaction from teaching people how to look after their bodies, through correct diet and exercise. One of the key components in exercise is having a variety of training and making it fun. To get results “we” need to be prepared to come to training sessions with the right mindset & be prepared to push the body out of its comfort zone & most importantly be honest and accountable with our nutrition intake.           

“Success is where Preparation and Opportunity meet…”

Experience:        

With a background in social work and teaching and many years of travelling the four corners of the globe, I am now a qualified acupuncturist and massage therapist.  I have been part of the natural health industry for 3 years and have always held a keen interest in health and wellness.  I believe the best results are achieved via a holistic and multi–faceted approach and of course through dedication and hard work!           

Services offered include a detailed initial consultation followed by one or more of the following:           

• Acupuncture
• Cupping
• Electro-acupuncture
• Massage
• Lifestyle Advice
• Herbs and Supplements

Treatments have an individual focus and are centered on alleviating symptoms whilst addressing the root cause of your condition.  Acupuncture, cupping, electro-acupuncture and massage work particularly well to help relieve sore and aching muscles, reduce delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), address both acute and chronic muscular-skeletal problems and bring an overall sense of balance and well-being.            

Treatments are not limited to just exercise-related conditions, and can work to improve a range of health problems from poor sleep and headaches to mood disorders and digestive complaints.
