Stav Kontou

Trainer

As a child I always struggled with my weight; coming from a Greek-Cypriot background it wasn’t always easy to say no to the hearty, rich food served up in front of me. Despite this, I would always be very enthusiastic about sport and take part whenever I could. It wasn’t until I was age 14 and weighing (around) 18 stone that I decided to truly shape up. 6 months of relentless hard work later and 4 stone lost, I felt the lifestyle changes I had made benefitted my health for the long-term. I know how it feels to start out, with all negative thoughts swimming around in your head, but the truth is you can achieve whatever you want with willpower and targeting. 10 years on, I still feel the love for fitness for what it has helped me overcome. Since then I have represented my local rugby team, completed assault courses and challenged myself daily in the gym.
