Teddy has spent over 20 years as a sports broadcaster, presenting predominantly on Sky Sports News and covering sports including boxing and rugby. He studied Sports Science and English at Loughborough University, before completing a journalism scholarship at Ohio University in the United States, where he cut his teeth covering American football and baseball.
Around 2017/2018, curious about revisiting the fitness modules he’d studied years earlier at Loughborough, Teddy started thinking about a side business in health and fitness. That curiosity, combined with the demanding, unsociable hours of broadcasting once he became a father, set him on the path back into fitness training.
Teddy completed his Future Fit Level 2 and Level 3 between around 2018 and 2023, a timeline slightly extended by Covid interruptions to practical sessions. Alongside this, he completed a Level 2 and 3 counselling qualification recognised by governing bodies, giving him grounding as what he calls a “trained listener.”
He chose Future Fit after speaking to the team on the phone and researching the courses online, valuing the mix of online study and in-person seminars, where course leaders shared not just technical detail but real insight into building a career in the industry.
Alongside freelance broadcasting and a podcast profiling health, fitness and sporting characters, Teddy now runs the Triple Tonic Workout, built on the foundation of his Future Fit training and centred on three pillars: movement, fresh air and conversation. Sessions range from kettlebell-based garden workouts to bodyweight sessions on Leckhampton Hill, through to walk-and-talk sessions that double as informal support for clients who simply want someone to listen.
With a small, loyal client base, including one client who has now passed 100 sessions, Teddy is exploring how to grow the walking-and-talk side of Triple Tonic further, drawing on the listening skills he built through his counselling qualification.
