I am a serving member of the Royal Marine Commandos and was unfortunately injured whilst on active service in Afghanistan. I was told there is a chance of never walking again but through determination a year later I was back on my feet. Still not walking brilliantly and still facing the possibility of never being able to run again I was told I would be able to ride a bike. When I heard this I decided I would like to give something back for those who like me get seriously injured. A charity bike ride was the only way to go and decided it would be 125 miles from Gretna Green back to Bolton. However still suffering from pain and finding it hard to find motivation to train the guys at Elite stepped in and offered to train me to help build my fitness not only for my bike ride but to help aid in my rehabilitation. From day one when I started training at elite I was made to feel very welcome and the adapted all my training to suit me with my injuries never pushing me to do something that may hurt but always pushing me to get fitter. The training is fun and progressive and definitely enjoyable.
Now 125 miles and few pains and aches later I have managed to complete the bike ride all thanks to the fitness the guys at elite helped me to gain. All I can really add to that is great place to train with the best bunch of lads to train you around thanks elite
