Crew: L to R: Hugo Turner and twin brother Ross Turner, Greg Symondsen, Adam Wolley
Race: The Woodvale Transatlantic Rowing Race 2011
World Record Attempt: Breaking two world records for the youngest four man crew to row across any ocean in the world and first twins to row across any ocean
Departure: 4th December 2011
Inspired by the life changing work of Spinal Research, this December four young men will race over 3,000 miles in a 29-foot boat across the Atlantic Ocean in a world record beating charity challenge. Adam, Greg, Ross and Hugo are that winning team and the aim to raise £150,000 of clear funds for Spinal Research.
Freedom2Train are 100% behind the teams’ preparations, providing them with specific personal training and nutrition plans in the lead up to the event in December. The Woodvale Transatlantic Rowing Race has been voted the Toughest Race in the World and over the coming months the crew are being put through their paces every day, in order to prepare them for the upcoming 3000 miles.
As part of the Atlantic 4’s preparation, Freedom2Train will be testing the crew both mentally and physically in various Team Challenges. The next challenge “Tour of the Parks” is in London and will give some indication of how their personal training sessions have improved their fitness and strength. “Tour of the Parks” involves the crew working together to complete a city wide challenge. Starting on the top of Hampstead Heath, looking out over London, the crew will be given their challenge that will take them through Regents Park, St James Park then into Mayfair with Green Park featuring on their list. They will then make their way through Hyde Park over to Kensington and Holland Park before heading south to Hurlingham Park, via Chelsea. They will then, cross the river to tick off Wandsworth Common finally reaching Clapham Common to complete a gruelling day. The boys really love these challenges and the team are working well together. You can keep up to date with the crew through the Team Challenges and training via Freedom2Train on Twitter. Freedom2Train will also be responsible for packing the crew off with the right nutrition to will keep them going for roughly 50 days of continuous rowing. They will have absolutely no nutrition drops during the race, what they set off with in December is all that they will have to eat. The big challenge is that they don’t want any extra weight on board because it will slow them down.

Race: The Global Race
World Record Attempt: Fastest person to cycle around the world
Departure: 18th February 2012
Seano set out of his epic adventure on 18th February this year and is currently pedaling is way through Australia as he attempts to clinch the World Record for the fastest man to cycle around the world.
Since his departure things have been a real rollercoaster ride for Sean. After a fantastic start to his race (despite Iberia airlines leaving his bike in Madrid on a flight to Santiago) Seano was well ahead of his targets and setting the sort of pace we knew he was capable of. However, whilst travelling through the USA Seano suffered a crash in Arkansas. Travelling at around 55mph a truck struck from behind, flinging him off his bike leaving him with torn tendons in his knee and a fractured spine. After a mad rush to find a new bike and several days of rest and medical treatment Sean displayed the sort of character that beholds a World Record holder and got back onto his new bike to continue on his route around the World.
Sean’s determination and will was never in doubt when he left us back in February, but to overcome a set back as huge as this, cycle through the pain of a fractured spine and damaged tendons has left everyone involved in the challenge in awe.
Currently Sean is travelling North up Australia through the Northern Territory and still battling against is back pain as well as a searing heat. Once he completes the Australian leg of his journey Sean will head across to Singapore before venturing up to Bangkok.
You can track Sean’s route via his twitter page by following
As well as chasing the World Record, Sean is raising money to help banish kerosene lamps, which are responsible for more deaths than malaria. To donate to this incredible cause click here http://www.justgiving.com/bike12
The principles that underpin our personal training sessions and nutrition plans are based on scientific research from prominent researchers of physiology, nutrition and strength and conditioning. These plans have been used with Olympic athletes in their journey to achieving their Olympic dreams.
A selection of our London 2012 and Rio 2016 hopefulls are featured below.
Achievements:
As an elite rower I train up to three times a day both on and off the water. Fuelling and recovering from my sessions is very important to aid and enhance my training and to ultimately maximise my performance. Freedom2Train has not only given me great strategies to aid this but have also changed my perceptions of food, changing my diet for the better. Freedom2Train has specifically helped me on race day, this has definitely allowed me to perform to my maximum, setting new personal bests throughout this summer of racing, the pinnacle being at the World U23 Championships where I finished 8th in the world.
Achievements:
I have really enjoyed working with Freedom2Train; the nutritional advice has had a large impact on my performance and recovery in each and every session. I was unaware of the importance nutrition has on performance before working with Freedom2Train. I am now able to make better choices about how to fuel myself and recover optimally. The positive changes I have been advised to make have stabilised my weight more than ever before and I perform better now that I have the correct nutrition.
The Freedom2Train nutrition plans are simple, flexible and straightforward to follow. Freedom2Train clearly tailor your nutritional plans, specifically to you, this really helps me to get the very best results. I am looking forward to next season where I plan to bring home some more medals and bigger achievements to share with the Freedom2Train team.
Achievements:
My aim when I started working with Freedom2Train was to take my performances to the next level and start mixing with the big names in 800m running. I thought this goal was going to take time, but my diet has always been a weakness, working with Freedom2Train has given me a great boost, making a real difference to my recovery between training sessions and optimising my race day nutrition plan. This summer has been a great summer of racing and I am now looking forward to another season working with Freedom2Train so I can get the best out of myself.
Achievements:
I contacted Freedom2Train as I thought I could make further gains in my rowing with the right nutritional advice. With Freedom2Train I have learnt to alter my diet to my recovery and performance needs. Freedom2Train gave me advice of how to maximise my results on the water and over the next six months I hope this continued support will help me to reach my aim of being the top female U23 in Great Britain.
"I started training with Steve Mellor recently because I wanted to tone up and have more energy. I'd never had a personal trainer before and was very unfit, and quite frankly, exercise-phobic. That was two months ago. Since then I feel my energy levels have soared, and I can see changes in my body shape, plus sculpting where previously there was none (Steve's all about helping women become lean and toned not gaining Madonna-style muscles). Friendly but super professional and extremely knowledgeable, Steve's not just about fitness, but is passionate about nutrition too. I love the fact that our sessions are outside rather than staring at a gym wall, and whilst it can be seriously hard work, I can safely say that he's the first person for me who's ever made getting fit enjoyable. The proof? I have just signed up for a half marathon."

Freedom2Train have teamed up with charity, Rugby Portobello Trust, to whip the younger members of the local community into shape whilst offering them an outlet in the form of fitness and exercise.
As they put it, the Rugby Portobello Trust “is a youth, education and housing charity based in North Kensington, that has a long history of working individually with young people aged 5 to 25, to help them get the skills they need to help themselves.”
The unemployment, property shortage and high social deprivation in North Kensington poses a stark comparison to many of the richer surrounding areas in London such as Notting Hill and Chelsea. This has resulted in large number of the younger members of the community finding it all too easy to adopt negative lifestyles as they grow up, including violence and robbery.
RPT takes a very individualistic approach to their work, helping people on a case-by-case basis. They offer support in a number of ways, from providing housing, to running social development programmes like drug abuse and pregnancy advice. Additionally they offer outlets to the members of the community, including music production courses, various sports, cookery and computing classes.
Since being introduced to the charity in March, Freedom2Train have run weekly fitness sessions in addition to offering advice to some of the members who have expressed an interest in a career in the fitness industry.
We’re extremely proud to be partnered with such an incredible charity and urge you to take a look at what RPT do in more detail by visiting them at
