Managing Director and Personal Trainer

For us, physical training and inner development go hand in hand and are mutually supportive. Training hard begins with a strong mindset, to be able to endure physical difficulty in order to reap physical reward; this ability is transferable. This same mindset taken toward inner development leads to the strengthening of one's own personal values, and the ability to live by them.

It is from our wish to share the riches that come from inner development and physical training, that the idea ‘The Razor’s Edge’ was born. The trick to training hard, physically and mentally, is to find the effort applied toward bettering yourself, enjoyable - to delight in the work you are doing, knowing you are closing the gap between you and your goals. Then the ‘hard work’ becomes something you look forward to and love doing. When you love the work you do, the journey becomes the destination, and you are already there.

Perceiving effort, in itself, as enjoyable, takes practice. The difference in quality of life experienced by those who succeed in this is massive, but the difference in their approach to the world is fine, as fine as the razor’s edge.
