Beyond managing gyms, I regularly contribute to well-known fitness magazines and have been featured in articles for "Health & Fitness" and "Men’s Health". My passion also extends online where I run a popular blog on GymPal's AI-powered directory platform detailing insights into choosing the right fitness venues across the UK.
