about iscfitness

I'm Ian! But you can call me Coach Blade! I'm a middle aged man who's been in the fitness industry over 30 years. In fact, me and my early colleagues started before personal training in commercials gyms was even a thing! We were the early pioneers I guess you could say.

I've been a professional coach for 25 years too.

This is what I do, it's in my DNA.

WHY DID I START HYROX?

HYROX WORLDS CHAMPHIONSHIP ATHLETE

Well, many years ago (and still used in my training today with clients and myself) we were using the brilliant CrossFit style of training. Having qualified as a coach for them in 2010.

Back then this blended all the good stuff we still love today - strength, hybrid moves, balance, coordination, agility, accuracy to name but a few. Fast forward to now…

I'd lost my way a little after competing in many CrossFit competitions and was looking for a new challenge. And the rest is history as they say!

After some HyRox simulations I thought “let’s have a good go at this”! And I fell in love! To me, it’s brought the fire in my belly back for which I’m so grateful. This spills over into my coaching which I hope you can tell even online!

My clients and myself are making amazing steps forward in the races and in personal life. I truly believe that in whatever way you use HyRox, weather it be actual races or just the training for a better version of you, the total package of strength, fitness and health can all be yours if you join us at ISCF.
