I have got together with an old friend and collaborator Guy Holland
to set up a PR and Publicity business. TIC TOC will concentrate
on all manner of promotional and public relations activities in
Fitness, Health & Sport.
Guy has worked as a journalist and specialised in sport, health
& fitness PR for over 10 years. Between us we have so much experience
and knowledge to offer people companies and products, we decided
to establish our own service. You can visit our under construction
website at www.teamtictoc.com
I have just been to Switzerland on a spectacular climbing expedition,
followed up by a trip over to France to work with a personal training
client for four days. We climbed, cycled, canoed in canyons and
hill walked. Apart from these activities we were able to discuss
matters of health and fitness during the day
and over meals. I’m now thinking of building on this idea
and taking small groups away for spectacular activity based PT
weekends where clients can have my undivided attention for a few
days of activity, training, testing and resting! If anybody is
interested in pursuing this please drop me a line.
I’ve recently filmed an infomercial for one of the leading
fitness names in France. This will be airing on various channels
across Europe soon.
And
still on the filming front my recent rock climbing programme has
just been broadcast on Carlton TV. I was pleased with the way
it turned out and response to the programme seems to have been
pretty good.
I have also
just filmed an instructional video based around a new boxing workout
and punch bag type product. More details to follow.
I have just
agreed to endorse and help promote Door Gym. This
product from the USA is, I believe, one of the best, most simple
and convenient home exercise accessories I’ve ever seen.
I’m also involved in a further product from the same Creative
Fitness stable – Rug Runner – which will also be available
to the European market soon. A dedicated website is currently
being designed and once I’ve completed the video and photo
shoots you will see far more of these great products. Please keep
your eyes open for them!
I hope you
can buy a copy of News Of The World on August 15th. Fitness Editor
Monica Grenfell has just interviewed me for a feature. I’m
intrigued to see how it comes out.
Another publication
I’ll be appearing in soon is the glossy upmarket magazine
Tantalise. As part of a feature on celebrity photographer John
Dietrich they will be including one of John’s recent pictures
of me which is very flattering.
I’m
currently helping to develop and devise a group / class exercise
around a new product called Power Bag. This is a hybrid of a medicine
ball and punch bag. I can promise you it’s a lot of fun
and it certainly hits all the right spots!
My 2-page
column continues to appear in each issue of Muscle & Fitness
Hers. It’s a lot of fun to write and the magazine is a seriously
good read. If you have any comments or suggestions for certain
topics please let me know.
I’m
also writing a monthly column for the Trinity South Newspaper
Group. This covers Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Surrey and Middlesex
so I hope some of you out there come across it from time to time.
My
writing is also going a little further a field as I now also provide
a regular feature to M Magazine – South Africa’s leading
fitness publication. It was actually founded by my old friend
Tammy Marie Baker who some of you might remember as ‘Fox’
on TV’s Gladiators.
The Ultra-Fit
book by John Shepherd that I wrote about recently has just come
out and is available in good bookshops. My various pictures illustrating
numerous exercises seem to have come out nicely and the book looks
very impressive.
A few weeks
ago I enjoyed my first
flight in a glider. It was all being filmed for a Land Rover corporate
video and was hugely enjoyable. Unfortunately the event was blighted
by the death of two other glider pilots at our airfield on the
same day.
I’m
in the very early stages of helping to develop and establish an
exciting new approach to fitness, diet and general health related
behavioural patterns. The Body Breakthrough System was conceived
by a highly dedicated lady called Anne Williams and we are looking
to launch it over the next month or two. More information will
follow soon.
I seem to
be acting as something of a scout for new health and fitness related
products and concepts for the Danish and South African markets.
It has been very interesting so far and I hope to get what I believe
are very valid and worthy products into those territories.
