I like training squats, using a slow tempo. The slow tempo allows me to stay in control, recruit more muscle motor units and minimise risk of injury.
Sydney has been actively involved in the world of health & fitness since the age of 6, from Martial arts to football and athletics. He competed in regional 100m, 110m hurdle, 200m and 4x100m relay events and played for in multiple football teams in his area (he was club top scorer in his debut season).
With over a decade of training experience Sydney took up life as a PT after his father fell ill due to poor eating habits.
Since then, he has gained multiple certifications and proudly led several athletes to break and hold multiple British, European and world powerlifting records, including a successful defence of the world title in July 2022.
After suffering a back injury in a cycling accident, Sydney became obsessed with human movement and how each of our body parts are connected to each other through movement. Believing firmly in applying science to every aspect of training to maximise potential results and minimise injury risk, Sydney’s motto became; Better Movement, Better Performance.
Sydney takes both a practical and theoretical scientific approach to assess his clients and structure suitable training programmes for them. His programmes are progressive to allow for gradual increments in load, and dynamic to enable changes to be made when needed.
In addition to his health & fitness qualifications, Sydney also has a Diploma in Applied Science & Medical Science, from Kingston college. In between his busy training schedules, you can rely on him keeping to date with a multitude of sports from Football, Formula One, Rugby, Tennis, Bodybuilding, Strongman, and many more. He also enjoys long walks and deep conversations about life’s mysteries.
