Personal Trainer & Bodybuilder

Lysander is a Personal Trainer and Assistant Gym Manager at PureGym Reading Calcot. He also competes in bodybuilding competitions, winning his first show at Men's Physique and placing 8th at the British Finals.

"Training is something I generally enjoy, and I think it should be something others enjoy too. At the start of my fitness journey, I was a hard gainer, small guy with not much muscle mass. So, my goal in the gym was to build as much muscle as possible. I've been lifting consistently for roughly 8 years and have gained about 30kg in that time. I feel that training has helped me and my life in more ways than I expected, and it will always be a part of my lifestyle."
