My journey from working as a Sales Director in the corporate world to becoming a personal trainer, fitness expert for the over-50s, and businessman has been a winding road. If I think about how much I’ve learnt along the way and how often I’ve had to get out of my comfort zone and, in fact, out of my own way, I can’t help but feel a little sense of achievement and gratitude for the journey.

We reflect on an extraordinary month for James Hilton Fitness and Jim's Gym. This period has been marked by two significant milestones that cement my commitment to empowering those over 55 through fitness and wellness:

Last Thursday (12th October) was World Arthritis Day, a day in which I coincidentally held one of several talks around Osteoarthritis to a group of people who have the unfortunate task of dealing with this, quite frankly, pain in the bum (actually, joints mostly) disease. 

The Ninth month of the year is when the Real Bread Campaign goes on a mission to help everyone worldwide discover that life’s sweeter with sourdough!
