VINCE HOCKLEY

Founder of Synthesis Fitness and Personal Trainer

I guess my road into the fitness industry started a little different to most. Moderately active and fitting enough for the odd run and game of sports I managed to keep weight off. My lifestyle however was very unhealthy. Overeating, very heavy smoking and more than occasional drinking but my sports kept me ticking over.
In 2010 I sustained some very bad injuries whilst serving in Afghanistan, resulting in two resuscitation's and left with a broken femur and hip, stomach wounds and a collapsed lung.
After five operations and two years of rehab I was eventually medically fit but the lack of activity left me very overweight.
This is when I realised I knew nothing about healthy living and how to train my body.
Not only did I need to train my body I needed to train my mind.
With the help of good friends I got in shape and learnt a lot in the process.
I continued this learning and became a personal trainer and didn’t look back.
I have been helping lots of people do the same whilst continually learning ever since. Health fitness and bodybuilding have become an obsession born out of passion.
