Dean started being active from a young age first joining the gym when he was 14, from young he was keen to look after himself.
In Dean’s own words he was a “streak of piss who had the teenage desire to get shredded”.
After attending the gym for 3 years he joined the RAF with ambitions of becoming a pilot, due to being very slightly colourblind he ended up in logistics. He had always trained since being young but once he joined the RAF he felt like he had to train as part of his service, it was drummed in to him.
Even though he was training a lot in the RAF his lifestyle wasn't great. His diet was poor which meant he had gained a lot of size from being 14 years old but not necessarily all of it muscle.
"As part of the RAF I was heavily social playing Rugby League for them and all that comes with that.. Nights out, beers and socialising."
He served his term in the RAF and after coming out he joined up at budget local gyms. He actually found his diet improved when he left and he lost a lot of weight.

"I felt a need that I ‘should’ train because of having it drummed in to me because of my time served so I continued to exercise while trying to find something that worked for me outside of the armed forces."
He tried spinning, fitness classes and general gym workouts and in his own words “that was just so I could have some shit food and drink on a weekend”.
Over the years following he never really found anything that ‘worked’.
He had children which made things even harder.
He tried some PT courses which did help but nothing stuck.
Then one day Platform’s advert popped up and he decided to give it a go as another thing in search of something that would be a long term fix.
