My name is Mike - I have spent years in financial services experiencing first-hand the toll that desk-based professional life takes on physical and mental health.

Despite having gym memberships, fitness apps and good intentions, I struggled to maintain any consistency. The barrier wasn't motivation - it was that traditional fitness options didn't fit my reality.

Everything changed when I discovered outdoor weighted walking and functional strength training. Simple, accessible methods that built physical and mental resilience without requiring hours in a gym or advanced fitness knowledge.

What started as a personal solution to desk-job stress became a mission:

Bring genuinely accessible, engaging fitness programmes to other professionals who want to prioritise their health, but find that traditional options are not working out for them.

Essex Corporate Fitness exists because I believe fitness programmes should work for everyone - not just those who already identify as "fitness people".

Whether you're managing teams, balancing spreadsheets or navigating the demands of professional life, you deserve fitness programmes that actually fit into your world.
