Surfing from age of 14 years, and competing at national level from the age of 16 till 48

I found Conrad and Kernow Fitness while “surfing” the net. It took me several days to make that 1^st. contact call. The words Gym, Personal Trainer and Advanced Sports Therapist, somehow put me off. It all seemed very serious and up market….. and probably very expensive.

All I needed was someone to put me back on track; I had been very actively pursuing my sport and passion….. Surfing, when somehow, age, good living, and a lack of self belief had got in the way.

I immediately warmed to Conrad, although very professional, he is very approachable, and showed great empathy for me as an individual and my situation. He worked out a schedule, I went to his “Home Gym” every 4 or 5 days for a few weeks, and I was genuinely surprised at how little all this cost.

I had never done any Gym workouts, so it took me a couple of sessions to feel good about what I was doing, but I have to tell you, I did feel good, very good and the next time I went surfing, I felt almost “Supercharged” This was all down to Conrad.

Thank You Conrad….. I feel I am now back on track.

Conrad trained me for four years to 2006, always reliable and good tempered, he has an amazing knowledge of different exercises with which to tease, torment or torture. He has a very sound knowledge of the anatomy, physiology and nutrition required for fitness, health and weight loss. His moving away from this part of the country was a great loss to my fitness regime, and I thoroughly recommend him.

I met Conrad shortly after my near fatal accident in a race car in July 2006.
I had suffered a broken back and neck and had 3 vertebrae fused in both damaged areas of the spine.
My movement was limited and I had lost a huge amount of weight due to being in hospital for 2 months where I had received 4 operations.
We started really working together in 2007 when I had got through most of the recovery and with Conrad pushing me and inspiring me I soon found myself beating the fitness records that I had set before the accident.
Later in 2007 I landed a drive with a top LeMans outfit for the 2008 season.
Without Conrad it would never have been a consideration.
I owe my continuing career to this now great friend and personal trainer.

Eight Years ago I was injured at work, within a year I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. I used to be very active and loved playing Rugby and Football. Due to this condition I had to give up any form of sport as the pain via Hypertension through my skin and muscles which was unbearable.
10 Months ago after my first major flair up since the diagnosis, I was introduced to Conrad, he explained about the type of massage he does and I thought NO WAY!! But after he explained that it would all be done at my pace and bear ability, I decided to give it a try.
Within a month of treatment the hypertension had released and I was able for the first time in 7yrs to do light exercise, at all times I felt comfortable and with the patience Conrad showed, I couldn’t believe how much improvement I was showing.
Conrad’s knowledge of the muscles and how they react under massage has lead to my understanding for the first time why certain areas were more painful.
I am now able to play 5’a’side, last year I went to Florida and had to go round most of it in a wheelchair due to the discomfort but this year I am going with the confidence that I can really enjoy everything with no pain.
All I can say to anyone who knows the unbearable pain on Fibromyalgia or has any kind of muscle issue is, once you take the step to decide to try and release that pressure and to push through that barrier you won’t regret it. Despite the pain you think you will go through, just talk through it and you will understand the difference it can make.
And with Conrad’s skill, experience and above all, patience, I can honestly say it’s the best treatment I have ever had.

From the moment Conrad arrived on the Friday afternoon there seemed an instant bonding between him and the rest of the team, he was keen to find out mine and the other drivers individual needs and requirements for the duration of the 24hrs LeMans Race. Conrad tended to all our individual needs, making sure that we got enough sleep, correct amount of food and fluids to maintain myself and the other drivers at peak fitness and awareness, for this ultimate of races, his professional attitude managed to keep a seamless link between the team principle/chief engineer and the driver so making pit stops smooth and effortless. Conrad’s professionalism, knowledge and understanding of endurance racing are second to none, and speaking on behalf of myself and fellow racers, would recommend his services to other teams.
