About Me

My name is Neil Collins

Coaching is not about me - it’s about you. What you want, what you need, and how we can get you moving toward it together. And this makes writing an about me section a little bit weird... Still, it probably helps if you know a little about who’s guiding you... 
 

Before coaching, I served as a Royal Marines Commando, spending much of my time on counter-piracy operations. It was an environment that demanded professionalism, attention to detail, and a calm, practical approach - qualities that have shaped how I coach today.
 

In 2012, I made the leap into coaching full-time, eventually running my own CrossFit and strength & conditioning facility for 10 years. Those years were where I really refined my craft, working with people of all levels and seeing what truly makes the difference in their progress.
 

I love teaching gymnastics and calisthenics, and I get deep satisfaction from helping people overcome movement issues, master the barbell, and build strength through strongman and CrossFit training. 
 

I suck at sales - always have... I struggle with social media, and I don't offer gimmicks... What I do offer though, is simple and effective coaching and programming, whether in-person or online.
