Craig started judo at the age of five and quickly moved on to studying the art of Kung-Fu, earning a second degree black belt by the age of eighteen.  Understanding the need for all-around physical fitness he then added weight training to his workout regime and it soon became an integral part of his routine.  He went on to pursue health/fitness studies through the London YMCA and then received a Bachelor of Science (sports degree) from Loughbourgh University. Craig is an advanced Personal Trainer ,also credited through the NCCPT , establishing his original fitness clientele in his native UK. 


Longing to move to California, he brought his passion for physical fitness and training here and continued to expand his knowledge in 2002 becoming NCCPT certified.   With a growing client base, he opened his first company UNITED FITNESS, put down roots in Marina del Rey, married and has a beautiful daughter (a widower now, read about how his personal challenges made him an even better trainer.)


Craig has been professionally training in the fitness industry for almost eighteen years now.  He is recognized internationally throughout the fitness world, having trained alongside some of the world’s best athletes. His vast and extensive knowledge of the trade, incorporation of martial arts into client’s workouts, great understanding of nutritional and dietary needs and passion for fitness make him a naturally enthusiastic and patient trainer, and his clients will attest to that.
