“We have also worked with elite psychologists, physiotherapists, nutritionists and some of the best coaches in the world.

“It’s through our experiences within an elite sporting environment that we have found a real passion and understanding of health and fitness.”

Following their retirement from the sport, the brothers now dedicate their time to sharing their love of fitness by helping people in Bamber Bridge and its surrounding areas to get active and stay in shape.

Having launched their outdoor conditioning club, Raw&Outdoor, the pair hope to share their elite sporting knowledge in a format that inspires, gets people active, and helps to improve mental health.

The brothers said: “Our mission is to package up all of our knowledge from working within elite sport and deliver it in a way that allows absolutely anybody to thrive regardless of whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced trainer.
