What was the exact moment in your mind where you thought actually something's going to give and sadly it's my trade

Marc DeanGUEST
yeah so I mean like I say I was an electrician from leaving school um did it for 16 years but like I said my passion has always been fitness um I've always trained before work after work sometimes I did a little spell where I went into the office to try and learn that side of the business um and I would take my running trainers so on the dinner break I was right near a Hay Hall where I've grown up running I would go for a run it's always been my passion and with the trade I was in obviously it was a family run business so I kind of just got thrown into it didn't really see any other opportunity or anything else that I could have done or would have done other than getting the chance to train for a living train and also coach so as soon as that opportunity arose and I literally did I did get to the point of Literally something did have to give because I had children, I had a full-time job.

Marc DeanGUEST
I had obviously the training was obviously super important at that time because High Rocks was growing.
