Kelvin Marsh has been a Personal Trainer for over 30 years and a Sport Conditioning Coach, working with many different sports, for over 25 years. Having boxed competitively from 1986 – 1992 he learnt a lot about conditioning the body and mind, and all that it entails, at an early age. Namely, that with determination and a positive mindset you can achieve the unexpected. Adversely, despite having immense talent and potential without a determined, focused frame of mind you will never achieve your full potential. These early lessons have been the cornerstone of Kelvin’s coaching philosophies. He has worked at a very high level, achieving great success, in several different countries, but he has never forgotten these fundamentals.
