Regular body comp analysis with Sam is becoming invaluable to my pursuit

of professional athletics.

 

It informs my training programmes, allows me insight into my body's response to sporting demands, and gives me a chance to set myself realistic improvement goals.

I have been working with Sam for a few months now and have been extremely impressed with his knowledge and how thorough he is in regard to my nutrition.

 

I can already feel the difference in my training and see the benefits from working with Sam. I would definitely recommend Sam to anyone looking to improve their performance and nutrition knowledge.
