Banking on Fitness - From credit crunch to abs crunch

Hello. I'm Martin Swan.

For 25 years I was a Corporate Banker. Then I got credit crunched. Now I am a fully qualified Personal Trainer based in Chiswick.

My aim is to give fitness and lifestyle training to people in W4 who have busy lives, special fitness needs and who may not want to be trained by a typical fitness professional. With my background I am not that!'

Having gone through professional life myself I hope I can empathise with my clients and make their fitness training something which is fun.
