As an 18-year-old, Glenn Parker graduated from the Army Foundation College in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, then progressed to join the 3rd Battalion Parachute Regiment with active service from 1999-2003.

Whilst serving, Glenn was involved in a severe assault, which left him spending the next year in Army Medical Care. Whilst he went on to make an almost full physical recovery, he was left with significant epileptic seizures as a result of his injuries, and was medically discharged from the Armed Forces.

During his time in various UK Military Hospitals, Glenn received outstanding medical care and this rehabilitation defined in him the belief that he could go on, despite medical opinion, and still lead a full, active, fit, healthy and strong life.

This led Glenn into the world of personal training, where he met Nick Mitchell of Ultimate Performance (UP). Nick guided and recruited Glenn to Ultimate Performance, which is widely regarded as the world’s number one private personal training business.

Glenn brings in his military discipline and his personal training expertise to help his clients achieve the transformation they desire.
