Welcome, let's Squat Strong!

Hello and welcome to www.samsquatcoach.com.

This website and the brand that is samsquatcoach is the culmination of 12 years of physical training, 6.5 years in HM Royal Marines and 3 years as a Personal Trainer. Over the last 12 years, I have passed the elite Commando Training, ran long endurance events and trained hard to look good naked. I was out injured for 2 years with a hip injury, I have now trained consistently in Olympic Weightlifting for the last 3 years and I'm now a Firefighter in London Fire Brigade.

This journey has had some incredible highs and some lows, losing my job due to an injury was tough to say the least. What that taught me was that if you're going through a rough patch, pay attention, pay attention because along that road there will be a multitude of opportunities present themselves. While undergoing rehabilitation for my injuries I decided I wanted to be a Personal Trainer and use the knowledge I have gained in movement and physical training to help others and ensure they don't feel the way I did when I was backed into a corner through injury.

This experience along with training to the elite athlete level required to be a Commando has taught me the true capabilities of the human mind and body. There is truly no limit to your capacity. Samsquatcoach is about passing on the mindset and knowledge that I have developed throughout the last 12 years to help you overcome your own obstacles and earn your own hypothetical Green Beret (whatever that looks like).

It is my intention to put my effort and tenacity into this endeavour to help you all squat strong and train consistently free from injury. Through online coaching, 1-1 training, group training and presentations/seminars, I intend on leaving no stone un-turned in answering your questions on fitness and health. I have been down many a rabbit hole over my fitness career and have acquired a lot of lessons in what works and why it works. I break things down into actionable information for you to better yourselves and improve your knowledge base.

I thank you for joining me on this journey and can't wait to see where we end up.

Yours in health,

Sam
