Client smashes debilitating disease (and pads)


Tim Mason started training with me almost 2 years ago and has been going from strength to strength ever since. He suffers from a debilitating condition called ankylosing spondylitis and also suffers from auto immune anemia. With the help of a food intolerance test we were able to eliminate trigger foods from his diet which almost immediately reduced his symptoms. With the addition of Muay Thai pad-work twice a week he made fantastic fitness and weight loss goals and now lives a mainly pain free life.

He always hits the pads hard and pushes to the maximum for more than 10 rounds each session, as you can see in the below video.

His Total PT testimonial:

"Two years ago I was in chronic pain in my spine. I was 107 kilos and abusing pain killers to dull the pain. I was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis. After refusing long term mab therapy I chose to tackle the disease head on. I started training with Richard from Total Personal training. Richard is an authorised distributor of food intolerance testing. We quickly identified inflammatory foods and quickly set about an Muay Thai exercise and dietary plan. 2 years on I am on the road to managing the disease. This is my latest training video. I am 10 kilos lighter, lots fitter and PAIN Free".
