CRAIG MADDOCKS
CHEK 1, NLC 2, GOLF BIO, IYCS, NMT

Founder and Director of Excel Health & Performance.

Craig has over 10 years experience in the health and fitness industry, beginning at commercial gym level and progressing to owning his own private training and therapy studio. It was always Craig’s vision to have a training and holistic therapy facility. Somewhere that he could provide a range of services for all levels of clientele, offered by the best coaches and therapists in the area. Creating Excel has finally made his idea a reality.

Craig’s personal experience as an athlete saw him compete as an elite level swimmer winning county titles, reaching national finals and representing the England South team as a teenager. He loved the training and conditioning required but by the time Craig was 20, he was burnt out and suffered with ill health for the following five years. Overtraining and poor lifestyle habits were a major cause to these health problems and following this period, he learnt from some of the worlds leading holistic health and exercise specialists about how to regain optimal health and over come his illness.

He now uses this experience to help his clients avoid making the mistakes he made and continues to study & remain on the cutting edge in the fields of training, rehabilitation, nutrition and performance. This ensures his clients achieve what they want as quickly and effectively as possible.
