Hi, I’m Ivan. I hold a Level 4 Personal Training qualification – the highest currently available in the UK – recognising advanced expertise in areas such as medical conditions, rehabilitation and nutrition coaching. Fewer than 1 in 100 trainers reach this level, and my goal is to use that knowledge to help you transform your health with confidence.
Why clients choose me:

After a successful 20-year career as a finance director in the City, a major cardiac incident led me to completely rethink my life and pursue a career in fitness. Over the past four years, I have reversed type 2 diabetes, lost 25 kg, and improved my muscle mass, endurance, strength, flexibility, and balance through structured training and nutrition coaching. This journey fuels my passion for helping others – whether younger or older, new to the gym or experienced, including those needing GP exercise referral, injury rehabilitation, or tailored nutrition coaching. Having overcome my own gym anxiety, I understand how intimidating the gym can feel, and I focus on making every client feel comfortable, informed, and confident in the training environment.

Why clients choose me:
- Level 4 PT and Nutrition Coach (top 1% of UK trainers)
- Personal experience reversing type 2 diabetes, losing 25 kg, and rebuilding after a major cardiac event and multiple surgeries.
- Specialist in complex medical cases referred by GPs.
Living with these restrictions gave me a deep understanding of how powerfully food can affect energy, digestion, skin, and overall wellbeing. This experience shapes my nutrition coaching today, where I support clients with allergies, intolerances, and complex dietary needs in a practical, realistic way – not just with theory. Additionally, I draw on my knowledge from GP exercise referral and injury rehabilitation to provide a holistic approach to health.
My approach to training is significantly shaped by my personal experiences with injury rehabilitation. Over the years, I’ve undergone three knee operations, two shoulder surgeries, and a ruptured Achilles tendon. I've also faced tennis elbow, biceps and quadriceps tendinopathy, lower hamstring tendonitis, and long-term back issues during my recovery process.
These challenges have not only made me more resilient but have also provided me with invaluable insights into effective injury rehabilitation and prevention strategies. I understand the physical and mental hurdles associated with recovery, which allows me to offer empathetic, evidence-based guidance to clients who encounter similar obstacles. Additionally, my background in GP exercise referral and nutrition coaching empowers me to support clients holistically as they navigate their recovery journeys.
