Edward struggled with obesity throughout his life, but he turned his life around by shedding ten-and-a-half stones in the space of three years and qualified as a gym instructor.
Edward who is 6ft.2ins. tall, weighed more than 26 stones when he was aged just 25. He suffered from low self-esteem, felt “unhap
py” and was bullied during his school years. “I ate junk food all the time and I under achieved at school. Icontinued to gain weight, but couldn’t do anything about it. I realised I had to do something when Iwent to see the doctor and he told me I was a walking time bomb.
I decided to change my lifestyle, eating habits and immediately joined a local gym, studied obtaining a healthy lifestyle and qualified as a gym instructor in order to help others who are struggling with weight problems.”
Edward joined Roefield Leisurethree months ago and is keen to motivate and mentor others who want to lose weight through a range of fitness programme. He can relate to people who are struggling both physically and mentally to lose weight. He can help by providing a guided and personal one-to-one programme here at the centre. Just book in for a programme and Ed will take care of the rest.
True insperation. Lovely lad. He gives you all the motivation you need. An absolute credit to himself and a fine asset for Roefield.
Since Ed starting working with us at Roefield he has made such a difference to the centre. His motivation and enthusiasm is contagious and he strives to make a difference. His latest specialtiy is the one on one sessions on the power plate! I felt a difference straight away – an excellent session not to be missed.

Well done Douglas. Keep it up. We are proud of what Ed achieved and hope that his story inspires people like yourself to get fit. Stick with Ed and you will see results.
He is a lovely lad and will do anything he can to help you best he can. He will push you but try and make it as fun as possible
He’s been a real encouragement when I’m having my power plate session. I so want to give up but he won’t let me. I’m starting to see the benefits now thanks Ed.
Ed is truly inspirational. He has given me good advice on my diet and each month gives me a new challenging exercise regime which is actually working! Not only is he very professional in his work, he is a friendly face in a sometimes daunting place. I want to succeed for myself but also don’t want to let Ed down either therefore that gives me extra motivation. Thanks for all your support Ed.
Since Roefield completed the building extension, it’s being going from strength to strength, there is a great team people in all areas (Management, Reception, Gym etc) who run a tight ship, give a quality service and there is a general “buzz about the place” which makes it’s a really positive and welcoming environment to visit as a member………Ed’s approach simply compliments and magnifies it in the gym area and he’s a great addition to the team and is making a bid difference………..Ed takes a real genuine interest in all the members who visit the gym and goes out of his way to check on progress and motivate you following creation of an initial programme which is tailored to your objectives…he’s very knowledgeable and passionate about helping others in a similar situation or those who just enjoy fitness training and want to get their physicality to get to the next level e.g. for sport……….the real difference is that Ed can emphasize directly with those who are struggling with the challenges of weight loss or getting fit as he’s been through it…and in that way his story is very inspirational one………………A big thanks to all the team & Ed for their continued hard work……keep up the great work guys………..
