“After major ankle surgery, I needed more than just a trainer—I needed someone who could rebuild me from the ground up. Elliot, along with my club Sale Sharks, has made a meaningful contribution to my recovery and return to elite performance.
As professional sports people will know, every minute away from competition is very frustrating.
What I have liked about Elliot’s approach is that every exercise he puts in my program is there for a reason. He, in collaboration with my club’s S&C team, has designed a program that's both intelligent and intuitive and tailored to my specific needs.
My program combines complex rehabilitation and the building of strength, speed, power and conditioning. Each phase of training flows logically into the next - enabling me to progressively build strength and power, without compromising my rehabilitation.
The difference is in the details. Elliot doesn't just prescribe movements; he explains the why behind every exercise, helping me understand exactly how each session is rebuilding my foundational strength. His approach is methodical yet adaptable—he watches how I move, listens to how my body responds, and adjusts in real-time to keep me progressing safely.
Since working with Elliot, I've experienced significant progress in my Personal Bests, my energy levels have climbed, and most importantly, I am building more strength, power and conditioning - all of which will be vital for performance and results once I return to competition.
He's stripped away everything unnecessary, leaving only what drives genuine progress—crucial when you're racing against time to return to elite sport.
What impresses me most is his precision. Every tweak, every adjustment, feels deliberate and purposeful. His calm, focused demeanor gives me complete confidence, even on challenging days. I'm not just recovering—I'm coming back stronger, more stable, and more prepared than before. Elliot's expertise is transforming my comeback. The progress is steady, measurable, and accelerating exactly when it needs to.”
