Introduction
Hi, I’m Dan the man behind Fitness Fighters. First of all rule number 1 of Fitness Fighters is….. Haha only joking. So that’s’ the introduction’s over let’s get down to business.
On a serious note, I came up with the idea for Fitness Fighters after sustaining an injury while training. At the time I was a gym fanatic, going two times a day. It was pretty much my life. I would wake up, have what I thought at the time was the best protein shake for what I was doing and be out the door and off to train before work.
As soon as work finished I would head straight to the gym again (some would say this is not advisable but it worked for me). This continued for over a year before I received my first serious injury (neck muscle) which left me pretty much unable to do anything strenuous.
With the free time I had on my hands I started searching the net, reading reviews and guides on the different gym associated equipment I either needed or wanted. It was then I realised there wasn’t much information on the things I was looking at. In addition to my gym fanaticism, I’m also an avid boxing, mma fighting and muay Thai fan. Similar to my queries into training and fitness I also found this applies to a lot of other contact sports.
It was then I decided to make my own website and write guides articles and review’s on what I thought hadn’t been covered properly or in depth enough to give the full information needed.
