#12 Andy Smith - Building GymShark Lifting Club

Welcome to today's episode of 'The Abi Khan Show' My guest today is Andy Smith who was always the kid obsessed with sports, playing everything from rugby to rock climbing. As a self confessed nerd he ventured into sports therapy (sports specific physiotherapy) and completed a first class degree in his studies, then went on to complete his masters in strength and conditioning. He turned down an opportunity to work as the lead strength and conditioning coach at a Scottish premiere league team academy to become a personal trainer and open his own facility LIFT GYMS UK in Edinburgh, Scotland. His wealth of knowledge and experience allowed Andy to become the lead consultant in the creation of 'The GymShark Lifting Club' which is a $9 million USD establishment. GymShark for those of you who don't know is one of the fastest growing sports apparel companies in the world with a rough valuation of $400 million USD achieved in just 7 years. On top of his success in the health and fitness industry as a gym owner and consultant he is also a powerlifter and a triathlete. You can find out more about all of this in today's episode.
