(About Glenn)
From boardroom to barbells
I'm Glenn, the coach behind Prime PT. I spent three decades in corporate life before I took my own health seriously. Now I help busy people over 40 do the same, in private and without the nonsense.
(My story)
How it started at 52
The boardroom
Thirty years at a desk
I've spent more than 30 years as a corporate executive. Long days and very little time left for myself. Like a lot of people in that world, my health slipped down the list a little more every year.
Age 52
The turning point
At 52 I decided I'd had enough of feeling tired and carrying weight I didn't want. I didn't have a magic plan. I started lifting, learned how to eat properly and kept turning up, even on the weeks I didn't feel like it.
Every month
Change I could see
Every month I could see or feel something change, whether that was the scales, my body fat or my clothes feeling looser. Every year the change was bigger, and at 55 I saw abs for the first time in my life. Everyone's different, but everyone can make a change.
Age 57
57 and thriving
Five years on I'd lost 5 stone, reduced my body fat by 35% and built lean muscle. I qualified as a personal trainer so I could help other people do the same, at their own pace and without crash diets.
Age 58
Still building
Heading towards 59 and my seventh year, I'm still getting leaner and stronger by following my own plans. I weigh in every day and log my training, food, rest and recovery in the same Google Sheets tracker every client gets.

52(Why I coach)
No gimmicks, no quick fixes
When I started, the fitness world felt like it was built for people half my age. Loud gyms and extreme diets. None of it suited someone with a demanding job, a family and a body that had spent 30 years behind a desk.
So I built the coaching I wish I'd had. A private space. Programmes written around your joints and your schedule. Nutrition you can live with. And a coach who's been through it himself.
"My role is to support, encourage and guide you, helping you build confidence with every session."
