ABOUT
My name is Robert Sharp, I'm 24 years old and have had a passion for fitness for as long as I can remember.
I started training at home when I was 15 years old, and now have nearly 10 years of experience working out.
I started training back in 2016 when I was 15 years old. At the time I just wanted to get a bit bigger and stronger, without putting much thought into how to train optimally and how to handle my nutrition to best maximise my progress.
Over the years I've tried many different styles of training, most notably calisthenics during the covid lockdowns in 2020, and I'm always looking to learn new forms of exercise to improve myself and really see what I'm capable of!
Some great sports I've tried out and really loved were Muay Thai, boxing, rock climbing and hiking. I love a physical challenge as I find it teaches me great discipline and is very fun and rewarding when you apply yourself and see how much progress you can make.
WHY MOVEMENT TRAINING?
I've been working out for nearly 10 years, and have tried many different forms of training.
I started with weight training when I was 15, and built a great physique over 4 years that was strong and aesthetic, then switched to calisthenics in 2020 during the covid lockdowns and worked on achieving skills like the handstand push-up and side splits. But despite being happy with how I looked, my body felt immobile, tight and fragile, like I could injury myself with just the slightest mistake. I didn't feel functional nor athletic, and my strength in the gym didn't seem to translate to any any sporting activities I tried, and I found myself getting out of breath within minutes and my joints aching.
I thought "How can I put all this time and effort into working out and still feel out of shape? There has to be another way."
And that's when I discovered MOVEMENT TRAINING, which completely changed my outlook on training and what it REALLY means to be in good shape.
Movement Training taught me that there's more to working out then just getting stronger and building muscle and that our bodies are capable than so much more than that. Moving effortlessly through all planes of motion, lifting heavy objects from awkward angles, running a mile without feeling tired and be able to perform any sport and do well even if you've never done it before.
I love Movement Training as it molds us into a well-rounded machine that is good in all areas of fitness, a jack of all trades if you will! The sheer amount of variety and ways you can move to improve your movement and athletic performance is truly incredible, and it can be applied to anyone no matter their starting point!
That's what exercise should be all about, but is sadly lost in today's gym culture, and what I want to bring it back to!
I discovered Movement Training through some amazing people like Strength Side, Tim's gym and Nsima Inyang. Through research and a deep fascination to learn more I started training in this new way and absolutely adored it, as it simultaneously made me feel strong and free in my own body which I had never experienced before when exercising.
NOT TO MENTION IT'S SO MUCH FUN!!!
WHY BUSY PROFESSIONALS?
Busy professionals are those who work very hard, but at the cost of their own physical health. Often with 12-16h work days, they have little time to exercise, and are often dissuaded into trying do to misinformation telling them they need to be spending 2-3 hours in the gym and be doing 50 sets in order to make any progress.
I don't know about you but if that were me I wouldn't even bother!
Movement Training is the perfect answer to this.
You can get a great workout in from the comfort of your own home or even your place of work, as it often requires very little to no equipment, no fancy gym required!
These workouts can also be done outside, which is a big plus for me personally, as there's nothing better than training barefoot on grass with the sun on you, just feels amazing!
So need to spend an hour driving to and from the gym, with my help you'll be able to train anywhere, anytime!
Unlike what the gymbros might tell you, there's really no time limit on how long your workouts should last for them to be considered effective. You would be surprised how much just a 20 minute rope flow workout can make you sweat!
I value my and my client's time, and exercise shouldn't be limited to only those who have lots of free time on their hands, and I aim to help those short on time to understand that it's all about quality over quantity.
Busy professionals are typically in high stress environments for most of the day, and this can be harmful to not just their bodies but their minds as well. Movement training is perfect to help teach how to take that step back, de-stress and get that much needed mental clarity, all the while building a strong and healthy body.
