Personal Training in Brompton on Swale | BeatBodi Workouts for Mental & Physical Health

For much of my adult life, I worked in high-pressure roles that demanded everything from me—first as a Gulf War veteran in the early ’90s, and later during my years in the Police, much of that time as a Detective. These careers came with a cost. The constant demand, stress, and exposure to traumatic events slowly began to take their toll.

Eventually, my body and mind started to break down. I developed arthritis across my body, constant tinnitus, and crushing fatigue. On top of that, anxiety and depression crept in, and I was finally diagnosed with severe Mind Burnout. For a long time, I felt like I was slipping further and further away from the person I used to be.

But here’s the positive twist: that wasn’t the end of my story.

Finding My Way Back Through Fitness

When I hit rock bottom, I knew I had to change something. And the tool that rebuilt me wasn’t complicated—it was movement. I discovered how structured exercise could not only strengthen my body but also restore my mental wellbeing.

That’s why I created Booths Fitness and designed the BeatBodi workouts—a unique style of low-impact, music-driven, joint-friendly fitness that helps people lose weight, build strength, and feel amazing again.

For me, BeatBodi wasn’t just about physical transformation. It was a lifeline for my mental health. Each workout gave me focus, released stress, lifted my mood, and gave me a sense of control again. Science backs this too—exercise reduces anxiety, combats depression, and releases endorphins that boost your outlook on life.

Personal Training in Brompton on Swale

I now run my own private personal training studio in Brompton on Swale, near Richmond, North Yorkshire. This is where I create tailored programs designed around functional training—using equipment like free weights, kettlebells, suspension training, resistance bands, and more.

Why functional training? Because it doesn’t just change how you look—it improves the way your body moves and feels in everyday life. It strengthens your joints, builds balance, and creates lean, lasting strength. Whether your goal is weight loss, injury prevention, joint health, or simply feeling younger and more energetic, every session is designed to get you there.

Why Booths Fitness + BeatBodi Workouts Work

When you train with me, it’s not just about sets, reps, or chasing calories. It’s about building a healthier, stronger, and more resilient version of you.

Here’s what makes this different:

For Your Body – Low-impact, high-energy training to protect and strengthen joints while burning fat and improving stamina.
For Your Mind – Every workout helps reduce stress, boost energy, and create mental clarity.
For Your Health – Consistent movement supports better sleep, reduces chronic pain, and even strengthens immunity.

And because I’ve been there myself, I understand the struggles. I know how hard it can feel to start when you’re at a low point—but I also know the incredible results waiting on the other side.

My Promise to You

Every personal training client I work with receives free access to my BeatBodi live workout sessions. Why? Because I believe in creating a fitness community that encourages, motivates, and lifts each other up. You’ll never be on this journey alone.
