In 2005 Adam was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitus, then 6 months later appeared on the December 2005 cover of ‘Healthy For Men’, just one month later in January 2006 he was submitted to hospital for an emergency illeostomy operation due to a severe blockage of his large intestine.

Over the next 2 years he went through 3 serious abdominal operations , using a colostomy bag then culminating in having the whole of his large intestine removed and an internal pouch constructed in place of his colon, all this whilst still training in the gym and working as a full time model.

After a long hard journey, he lost 12kg and all of his hard earned muscle mass, which he had to rebuild after each of the operations . Needless to say that this gave him a massive understanding of how the digestive system works and the kind of dedication needed to persevere through hard times and to know that you will get better and come out the other side mentally and physically stronger from the experience.

This journey instilled in him a resilliance to anything that life has to throw his way. He showed that by qualifying and starting a successful personal training career in 2009 and then competed as a Fitness Model in FAME UK natural body building events in 2009,2010 and 2011, coming 3rd place in 2009 and 2011. This also shows through in how Adam trains his clients, with intensity, focus and a never give up attitude.
