Rob has been involved in fitness and sport from an early age but worked in a financial IT career before ill health (repetitive strain injury) led him to change careers. He retrained as a Personal Trainer and Sports Massage Therapist in April 2007 with Premier Training at K2 and set up HAVIT later in the same year. He has continued his professional development with courses including boxercise, advanced core stability, power plates and kettlebells.

Rob has business relationships with several studios and gyms in Brighton and Hove. He worked at Wickwoods Country Club as a Personal Trainer initially and as Gym Manager up to October 2009. He has regularly taught boxercise, circuits and group training at Bluesky Personal Training in Hove and Haywards Heath.

In April 2010, Rob ran the Brighton Marathon this year for Cancer Research UK. He has been and is still involved in participating and coordinating local running clubs. When not running Rob likes to practice chi kung and kung fu - the internal and external martial arts of shaolin kung fu.

Rob's latest business ventures, HAVIT Bootcamp in Henfield and Shoreham were developed from his work at Wickwoods and his enjoyment in traditional outdoor bodyweight exercises.

Testimonials

"Training with Rob? It's the best thing I've done in years. I'd recommend him to anyone who wants to get fitter, lose weight and have some fun along the way."
AS, 35 Hove 01/03/08

“It’s so easy to talk about lifestyle changes but actually making them is a lot harder. Rob has really made the difference, with a friendly, encouraging and supportive approach. Definitely the best investment I have ever made.”
DP, 42 Patcham 01/08/08

"Before I started training with Rob, I was using the gym 2-3 times a week but didn’t seem to see to many results. I signed up for the ten session programme and immediately felt that I was achieving something. In the 5 weeks I went from 32.5 waist down to 30 waist lost 8lbs and toned up and got a lot fitter. I enjoyed working with him and would highly recommend him."
MM, 28 Bevendean 04/05/08

"In the past I have tried weight loss clubs and joined the gym (several times!) but I have never managed to keep up the good intentions. I didn’t know what I was doing wrong and I felt defeated so I called HAVIT. The training plans he put together were tailored to my irregular work pattern so finding the time wasn’t a problem. We train at home, the gym, the park, the beach, cycle, run and boxercise as well. He has given me excellent nutritional advice, helping me to change to a healthier diet. Most of all I can happily say I have changed my lifestyle forever. Working with Robert has been the best investment I have ever made."
VM, 37 Hove 02/02/09

" I have been a member of Esporta Health Club for approx 15 months. I have not used the facilities regularly, have not achieved anything therefore have not received value for money. I lost 12 pounds over 4 weeks including 3 inches off my stomach! I have learned to eat less,eat healthily, watch the calories. I would recommend Rob to anybody that would like to make a change to their weight, fitness or eating habits."
JR, 50 Hove 22/05/09

"Paul and I have beenextremely impressed with Rob’s attitude to our fitness and health. We approached Rob because we wanted to change our attitude towards diet and exercise both having busy work and home schedules. We have learnt to treat our bodies like well tuned cars: plenty of fuel to run on and keep them tuned for optimum performance. Rob’s knowledge has certainly steered us in the right direction for long term health and vitality."
