Build a stronger, more empowered, and confident self
Reduce stress and improve mood
Enhance focus and performance
Learn new life-skills to help think critically and creatively, build relationships, and be healthy and happy
With an passion for trail running that started in secondary school cross country challenges, it seems only logical that I have used this passion to build a business helping others find enjoyment in fun activites that can unleash their full potential.
I got involved in the health and fitness industry back in 2011. Before then I worked as a graphic and web designer. I’ve also worked as an actor, DJ and greengrocer!
As a coach I work with individuals, small groups, and teams.
I follow a logical approach with a clear intention, encouraging exploration, curiosity, and discovery.
My aim is to make working together a unique, enlightening, fun experience.

Gray changed my life within the first 10 seconds of seeing me run! I have been a serious runner since childhood but had all kinds of injuries. Then in my mid 30s I started getting calf tears more and more regularly. I tried everything to no avail. Then I discovered Gray. He transformed my running immediately. I can now run as far as I like in complete confidence that I won’t get injured. Thank you Gray!”

Breath is at the heart of mental and physical health. Our specialist coaches base their teachings on the principles of the Oxygen Advantage® and Buteyko menthods.
The beneifts of breathwork are immence including:
- Better sleep
- Greater resilience to stress
- Better clarity of mind, consentration and focus
- More creative thinking
- Improved performance in both work and sports
Qigong
Qigong is an ancient practice using soft movements that anyone of any age or fitness level can do. It is intrinsically links breathwork, posture, visualisation, and mediation.
Scientific research into qigong’s potential benefits is relatively new but seems to suggest when practiced regularly it can have an positive impact of health and wellbeing including:
- Ease of some types of pain
- Improves balance
- Lower blood pressure
- Improves managing and recovering from cancer
- Reduces inflammation
- Supports immune system
A 2020 paper also suggests it may help people recovering for COVID-19.
Functional Movement
We believe in making exercise something fun and enjoyable rather than a chore that should be endured.
Our coaches have helped people of all ages and fitness levels:
- Run, walk, and move with more ease
- Improve aerobic fitness
- Build strength
- Gain self confidence
- Improve self esteem
2023 Adventure Holidays & Retreats
Scotland, Costa Brava, Portugal
“Every now and then go away, have a little relaxation, for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer. Go some distance away because then the work appears smaller and more of it can be taken in at a glance and a lack of harmony and proportion is more readily seen.” Leonardo da Vinci
Stepping away from your everyday life, even just for a couple of days, and doing something a bit different can have a profound effect on your physical and mental health.
The underlying theme of all our retreats is community and nature. Feedback from recent retreats suggests that they can:
- Reduce stress and worries
- Deepen spiritual connection
- Help build a sense of community
