He is the Founder of Brawd so he's passionate about doing this "exercise thing" slightly differently to everyone else and in living life the Brawd way.

Mind | Body | Adventure




At Brawd we live life to the full through the body, adventure and mind.

Brawd was born on the South Coast of Wales in 2013 on Barry Island Beach in the Vale of Glamorgan.

Brawd is Welsh for brother as we're one big happy fit & healthy family.

Our expert team of coaches have a unique approach that centres around you getting stronger and fitter, but most importantly you MUST have FUN doing it!

In fact we absolutely insist on camaraderie, laughter & leaving your ego at the door - this is what sets Brawd apart from the rest. It's health and fitness for real people with jobs, assignments, kids, and other responsibilities.

ALL of our images are of our clients past or present. We refuse to use images of fitness models.

We had a humble start running bootcamps on the beach of Barry Island in the depth of winter which we still run today and they've only gotten better and better! Training in the wild & running bootcamps on the beaches made up a pillar of what makes Brawd then and it still does now in our DNA but we've now expanded and began to offer so much more to our clients!

Our HQ in the heart of Barry is a former Train Engine Repair Shed which we've transformed into an action packed facility with all the fitness toys you could ever want for our sprawling supportive community of adventurers & friends.

The other part of what we do is Adventure, particularly using Stand Up Paddleboards! We've also been doing this since 2013 and have run adventure trips to the wilds of Scotland,  Cornwall and Europe!

So if you want to experience something different and become part of a community that truly believes in using Fitness and Adventure to get the best out of you and your life, then just get in touch... we promise you won't look back.
