I’m 22 and work as a swimming teacher. I’m also an online strength coach - although I class this more of a hobby rather than work as I enjoy creating freaks.

My best lifts to date are:

300kg deadlift

280kg squat

140kg log press, although this is more likely ~150kg now.

Mental strength and mind set,this episode is all about the mind,and why people are suffering so bad with general life 🙌

Hi, I’m Dean, a qualified personal trainer and coach based in Hitchin, Hertfordshire.

My purpose in life is to help people thrive in thieirs.

But first, I want to tell you how I came to this realisation and about my personal journey to get to this point in my life.

I’m an ex-British soldier. I joined the army when I was 16 and served for 8 years, in a reconnaissance regiment completing tours of Afghanistan and Iraq.

The first year after leaving the army was a challenging and dark time for me, my mental health rapidly declined, and I lost a lot of stability in my life. This sent me into a spiral of self-harm, drugs and alcohol in order to cope & attempted suicide.

Back then, I perfected a smile. I learnt to hide the way I felt. But inside was a different story altogether. Inside, I was struggling.

The illness was slowly ruining my life, but no one around me knew - I had fooled them into thinking I was fine. In 2016 I attempted to take my own life. I couldn’t see a way out, there was no light at the end of my tunnel, and I could no longer cope. After being discharged, and still struggling with depression, I attempted to end my life for a second time. I was really struggling to cope.

I was then diagnosed with Bipolar disorder and PTSD.

After the shock of my diagnosis I had to learn, adapt and also come to terms with it so I began to channel my energy into awareness, from social media to public speaking, sharing my story and showing that even people like me - a 6 foot 4 tall ex-army soldier, man - needs help.

Now, the stigma surrounding mental health is something that I am incredibly passionate about and my motivation is to work towards raising awareness.

So, a bit about me. I´ve always loved the outdoors having grown up in the beautiful Cotswolds region of the UK. I grew up hiking with my family, playing sports and generally being outside. I was never a particularly athletic kid at school, and always struggled with my weight. That changed when I reached my later teenage years when I lost around 2 and a half stone or 15kg with a view to better my health. I got into the gym and cleaned up my diet, but I never really found my true passion.

​

In 2008 I lost my dad to prostate cancer, and decided to run my first marathon to raise money for charity. I trained hard, and successfully completed the Dublin Marathon in 3 hours 52 minutes. I had found my calling, and ever since I have been in pursuit of all things adventure.

​

I have now completed 18 marathons, 10 ultra-marathons including 6 races over 100km, Ironman, 5 half Ironmans, SwimRun and competed for GBR age group at the European Half Ironman Championships in Denmark in 2017. You can find a full list of my races and achievement here.

I now live in Zurich, Switzerland with my partner Julia, where I work full time in international real estate.
