I am excited to share this episode with you as its a first for the podcast in having a guest with Aspergers. George talks about how he has managed his disabilities and how the gym and exercise has helped him become a more grounded, emotionally and physically.

Today we speak with Francis Lartey a Personal Trainer/Adaptive Athlete based in London, Francis was born with Cerebral Palsy (Quadriplegia) but he has not let this define him in life and chasing his passion in fitness.

We talk all about adaptive training, the barriers he's faced and mental health. 

CrossFit Is a fast growing sport, but its not just the fitness aspect it offers, its also the community it brings with it.

Ross Austen was a former corporal from the 24 Commando Engineer Regiment. He was serving with the Royal Engineers on tour of Afghanistan in 2008, Ross was out on a foot patrol when he came under attack.

During Ross's second tour of Afghanistan, as a Section Commander in the  Royal Engineers, he stepped on an IED (Improvised Explosive Device)  which resulted in him losing his left leg.

This did not hold Ross back from achieving his goals of becoming a GB Para Power lifter. And now with his sights set on the Crossfit games, there is no holding Ross back.

Ross's inspirational story shows with determination anything can be achieved and this is the message that Ross is now trying to share with  other individuals looking to become the next generation of adaptive athletes.

I'd like you to meet Jordan Wright a client and good friend of mine. Jordan and I have spent hours chatting so we finally got the opportunity to share one of those conversations with you. 

Jordan was born with Cerebral Palsy which affects the lower half of his body. We talk about the benefits of strength training within a group setting  and how community side to it can help motivate you along the way, and how it can have a positive impact on your mental health.

Today's guest, Steven Walker an upper extremity adaptive athlete all the way from Georgia, USA who recently competed in the Wheel Wod games.

We talk about Stevens experience in developing his own style of training with himself and his clients alike. Steven is extremely humble with a deep passion for helping others succeed and thrive in the adaptive community. 

Its amazing to see pioneers within the industry emerging as the adaptive community only grows bigger and bigger. 

I hope you enjoy this latest episode.
