’s earlier career path is a study in opposites. Before opening Salecca, Sal studied economics and social history at university, and climber the career ladder as a consultant in IT Project Management for a City firm. He also served as a member of The IV Battalion The Parachute Regiment. The contrasts, he says, were extreme.
“I loved the active life of a paratrooper, but I hated the sedentary life of an IT consultant,” he says. “Working a desk job was pure stress: eating at my desk and going down the pub afterwards, then doing it all again the next day feeling the effects of the night before.”
He knew something needed to give, and he turned to fitness and exercise as a way to relieve stress and gain back a sense of control. As Sal began to change his life, he realised that he had something valuable to offer others like himself by helping harried professionals balance a busy work schedule with their health and fitness routine.
The discipline pays off, according to his clients, who say that Sal is a great problem solver. Whether it’s a question of diet, lifestyle, training (or more likely, all three) he always has a solution to help overcome it.
“There was a lot to change about how I viewed health and exercise. I realised it’s not always about pushing through pain and starving yourself,” says Becs. “I wanted to help others whose bodies don’t necessarily move perfectly, but who are motivated and driven to get better.”
Our bodies breakdown over time – like our cars they need a tune-up from every now and then – chiefly if we are active through sports, strength training or simply advancing age.
You may have seen a therapist before, receiving some vague reasoning to why you’re broken. But here at Salecca, we tell you with clarity what the problem is, and how (unless it’s a freak accident) to not find yourself on our massage couch again anytime soon.
served as a Paratrooper and worked in IT Project Management before embarking upon a career in the health and fitness industry. He is skilled at helping clients balance a busy work schedule with their health and fitness routine. His range of qualifications includes a Certificate in Exercise for the Management of Lower Back Pain, Instruction in Functional Training Programs and experience in Dynamic Movement Screening. He possesses knowledge of Postural Correction, is certified as a Fascial Stretch Therapist and is RKPS Kettlebell Qualified.
“Training is hard, there is no way around that, but it is absolutely worth it. I get positive comments about the way I look on a regular basis, even people I see every day notice the progress I’m making, which motivates me to achieve even more.”
At Salecca we do things differently. We’re not your average personal fitness trainers.
Because Becs and I setup Salecca after having worked professional jobs – before getting into fitness. We risked it all giving up our careers to follow our passion of healthy living; we strive to personify what the fitness lifestyle is all about.
At Salecca we specialise in amazing body transformations, we’re not fresh out of school personal trainers. We don’t just count reps, bark orders and make you loathe exercise; our job is to facilitate your change, adding some vim and vigor back into your life.
Based in Moorgate, London, we are experienced experts who have successfully helped people like you time and time again.
