My ‘unfit’ background gives me a different outlook on the world of health and fitness compared to most of the fitness people I have worked with during my time as an instructor and trainer. Due to this somewhat different background I have first hand experience of the dread of going into a gym for the first time, I know what it feels like to be not picked for the sports team, and I know how hard it can be to change bad, unhealthy habits built up over a lifetime.

This type of understanding can’t be learnt in a class room and it is this awareness that has spurred me on into becoming a health and fitness coach, trying to help people like myself who were missed out of the school physical education programme, or people that have lost their way in all the inaccurate information that bombards us about our bodies, food and health.

I have a real passion to try and help others learn that fitness and good weight management can be fun and rewarding - it takes a degree of work and dedication but over the years I have seen people make incredible changes to their lives - that is what keeps in this industry and drives me each day.

Hi, my name is Spencer Timson and along with running the health, fitness and weight loss holidays and NPC, I also work as a freelance trainer and coach, although that wasn’t always the case….  

Unlike the majority of personal trainers and fitness instructors my background has not been years spent playing a sport, or excelling in a particular athletic ability, quite the contrary in fact.

I was the sort of kid who at school tended to get picked last for sport, pretty much useless at most school ‘games’ sessions it could be said that I didn’t really shine at physical education. So much so that I doubt many of my old teachers would have put me down for a career in the health fitness industry!  

I feel that my childhood experiences of sport and exercise had a very negative effect on my physical fitness, and as I grew up I found myself getting steadily more and more unfit. Beginning smoking as a teenager and later taking up a less than healthy diet of fast food and alcohol, my fitness didn’t really look to be improving. Nevertheless, mid to late 20’s I started to take an interest in my health and began ‘training’ at a local gym.

This over time made me more aware of how my body worked and over the following years I began to become physically more fit.  This in turn led me to a change in my career, and I began studying to become a fitness instructor and personal trainer at college.
