(Chris)... and an Information Systems degree thank you very much, both of which I am using extensivley at the moment...

When did you start doing Brutal Training and why did you intially get into it?
I started doing Brutal Training, I think, about 3 and a half years ago. I initially got into it because I was playing Beach Volleyball with Ben at the time and he suggested that we should try training with you. I had no idea what that meant at the time and have to admit that when you described what we'd be doing it all sounded okay, then I'd actually start doing it...

From there I just kept coming back, for the first 1-2 years I'd always be hesitant about going for at least a day beforehand but would always feel great (but sore) after. I guess I've never been prone to quit doing something coz it's too tough so I just kept coming back.
