RAWFIT est. 1999 Welcome to RAWFIT: Your No-Nonsense Path to Peak Fitness in North Leeds
Let’s get one thing straight: lifting weights, sprinting, and even breathing (yes, that’s a workout too!) are the easy bits. The real challenge lies in applying the lessons learned during those sweat-soaked sessions to your everyday life. Forget training for body composition—I’m not here to sell you the dream of a six-pack in two weeks or promise you the magic pill for superhuman strength. What I’m offering is much more valuable:the opportunity to discover new possibilities you never imagined—all because of that barbell you just lifted.
Let’s not kid ourselves, folks: there are NO SHORTCUTS.
Now, don’t expect a silver bullet or a guru with an oversized ego promising you miracles. I mean, if you read it in Metro or the Daily Mail, it’s probably about as reliable as a chocolate teapot! Hard work is non-negotiable, and I won’t sugarcoat it for you. I’m here to lay down the truth: achieving your goals requires grit, consistency, and a fair amount of purpose.
At RAWFIT, I’m not here to sell you overpriced products or spin you a web of deceit. My mission is simple: to help you take your health, fitness, and performance seriously while having a bit of fun along the way. My approach focuses on empowering you, not just making you sweat buckets. Anyone can throw you into a grueling workout; I’m here to guide you on how to crush your goals and keep moving forward. Let’s face it—not everyone can do that!
Based in Leeds, West Yorkshire, I offer small group and one-to-one personal training sessions, specialising in conventional strength training for hypertrophy & unconventional training methods. Think kettlebells, sandbags, battle ropes, and all the fun stuff that makes you feel like a fitness warrior—plus the classics like barbells, cables and good old dumbbells. I take fitness seriously, and my goal is to help YOU achieve long-term physical excellence.
All my training is guided, whether you prefer the comfort of your home, garage gym, or the fresh air of local parks. Every programme is tailored to fit your unique goals, and while the specifics may vary, one thing remains crystal clear: HARD WORK is the only way forward. Remember, I’m not here to just make you tired; I’m here to make you better.
So, if you’re ready to ditch the quick-fix nonsense and embrace real progress, let’s get started!

“Truth is a pathless land. Man cannot come to it through any organization, through any creed, through any dogma, priest or ritual, not through any philosophical knowledge or psychological technique. He has to find it through the mirror of relationship, through the understanding of the contents of his own mind, through observation and not through intellectual analysis or introspective dissection.”
Jiddu Khrisnamurti
