About Olympic Fitness Coach

Chris Mulvaney BSc (Hons) ASCC - Founder and Coach

Hello and welcome to my site, so called as I believe in delivering a gold standard service to everyone. I have decided to create this site for different reasons, firstly to advertise myself to the market and secondly, to educate the viewer to common areas of interest in sport, health and fitness.

My involvement in sport started at the tender age of five, when I lived in Australia. Watching Aussie Rules Football and Rugby League I soon found my feet and was kicking the goals in my back garden. Since then, I have attained a black belt in jujitsu, ran for my school and also competed at club level at both cricket and athletics.

After a 5 year stint in the army, I decided to pursue my love of sport and fitness. I am reading for a masters degree, and am also an accredited strength and conditioning coach and weightlifting coach. As a former middle-distance athlete and cricketer, I know what it takes to get you the results you demand.
