About me

 Hey, I'm Stuart Irvine. At 40 years young, fitness has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. 

I started playing competitive football when I was just 11, and by 13, I was lucky enough to be playing with a few professional clubs.

Football became everything to me—it was my world.

From a young age, I realized how crucial fitness was to performing at my best. It wasn’t just about the training; it was about what I was putting into my body too. 

That’s when I got hooked on learning everything I could about the human body—how to get stronger, more athletic, and improve my performance by focusing on both the food I ate and the workouts I did.

 As the years went on, I became even more fascinated by the complexities of nutrition, especially when it came to bodybuilding and sculpting my physique. 

I started applying all the knowledge and experience I’d gained to build a body that was not only strong but also naturally attainable and sustainable through training and proper nutrition.

Then, as I hit my early 30s, I faced a couple of major physical challenges:

• A complete rupture of my bicep tendon
• The early stages of a genetic muscle-wasting condition (FSHD)
   

Both of these hurdles hit me hard, especially since fitness had always been such a huge part of my life. 

The bicep tendon required reconstructive surgery, and with no treatment available for FSHD, it was an incredibly tough time.

Fast forward 8 years, and while I still deal with muscle wasting in my calves and trapezius, I’m proud to say that I maintain an impressive physique. 

More importantly, I’m driven by a deep desire to help others reach their fitness and physique goals.

My personal life comes with its own set of challenges, just like many people’s. I have two young sons, ages 2 and 6, who mean the world to me and are always my top priority. 

Between school, nursery, and work, time is limited, and I truly understand the pressures and obstacles that come with managing it all.

I also know first-hand the mental strain that personal circumstances can place on you. 

It’s tough, but it’s part of the journey—and that’s something I can relate to on a deep level.

Fitness, health, and well-being are my true passions. 

I’m always learning, whether it's about new training techniques or diving deeper into nutritional knowledge.

I make sure to leave no stone unturned in my quest to be the best personal trainer I can be.

The life I’ve lived has given me a unique perspective, and I believe it allows me to understand you better than most trainers out there. 

My personal experiences, combined with my work in the industry, truly set me apart from the crowd.
