My name is Levi.
I'm known for as a Strength and Conditioning Coach, Nutrition Medicine Practitioner. and Rehabilitation Specialist. I'm originally from England, but I've been living and working in Finland since 2011.
I'm a husband, and a father of three children. I've dedicated my life to my family, my work and to living a healthy, athletic lifestyle.
I arrived to Finland by following my football career. I've competed in three different countries for playing football, and Finland was my last destination. Unfortunately my career came to a quick sudden end due to injuries.
At this turning point, strength and conditioning became my new passion and have devoted my life to becoming an elite coach. My goal is to help athletes achieve their goals they desire - injury-free and in the best possible performance levels they can reach in their career.
My studies and experience has given me insight into how to prevent and prepare athletes, speed of recovery and the psychology component in training and winning.
I consistently travel the world to invest in my education seeking out and meeting experts over multiple disciplines to get the cutting edge information. My current education is in strength and conditioning, hormone and body fat assessment, nutrition, soft tissue and fascia therapy, supplementation and bridging the gap between therapy and performance. I believe my persistent search for knowledge and hunger for my athletes to win has greatly affected the consistency of successful results.
