“Train hard, fight easy”

 

The Paras training regime and the SAS selection process are two of the hardest British military tests and Des knows about both. In his latest book, 'SAS: My Trial by Trial' Des shares all about the gruelling tests of both the Paras and SAS, having undergone SAS selection twice.

 

In the Paras, Des was a certified physical training instructor (PTI) for 1st Battalion (1 Para) laying the foundation for his expertise in fitness. After passing the SAS selection process, Des’ commitment to physical excellence led him to become the unarmed combat and PTI for the special forces and lived by the ethos "train hard, fight easy".

 

Des works with individuals across all fitness levels. With extensive experience in elite-level fitness, Des combines resilience, discipline, and mental fortitude honed in the special forces to help individuals unlock their full physical potential. His unique background allows him to deliver talks that focus on building both physical and mental resilience, ensuring that every individual reaches their goals with confidence and commitment.

 

To achieve a higher level of fitness, Des believes in applying four principles: hard work, consistency, focus and discipline. Whether his audiences are preparing for an event, recovering from injuries, or just aiming for a healthier lifestyle, Des brings his unique special forces mindset towards fitness to help them achieve success.
