I picture a world where everyone understands how their body works and how to invest in it - moving towards a more meaningful, pain-free, and healthy life
This is why I coach people to enhance movement, diet and sleep to become physically and mentally stronger, and to move in a more balanced and co-ordinated fashion
“In a world where it is easy to say to yourself, “I’m getting older and my body is giving up - that’s just the way it is”, I can guarantee you that there is so much more you are capable of”
Pete Banbury, The BodyMapper
Do you ever think about future you?
…..and that you want to be healthy and strong. Well into your 50’s, 60's, 70's and yeah, even your 80's. And that you have friends and relatives who are struggling with their health and you don't want that to be you later in life?
And what about you now?
I know how it feels. You wake up in the morning and you are stiff when you get out of bed. The energy doesn't seem quite as plentiful as it used to. And you are so busy - not enough hours in the day. The sports and hobbies that you used to play are that bit harder - what with niggles and injuries. What to do?
Well, the future is bright
How do I know? Because I'm 52, feeling in the best shape of my life and have 28 years experience coaching people to feel the same. To move better, eat better and sleep better. Is that what you want? If so, let’s talk
How do I support you to move towards a more powerful you?
Here’s how.
-
MOVE
I train you to move in the way your body evolved over hundreds of thousands of years. No gimmick exercises. No guessing. Just the way your body was designed to move, with specific biomechanics derived from walking, running, pushing, pulling, and hingeing
-
EAT
I give you easy to follow guidelines and principles which respect how your body has evolved. Eating well is much simpler than you might have been lead to believe. It’s about consuming naturally occurring foods and avoiding ultra processed, man made ingredients.
-
SLEEP
Sleep can be elusive, especially as we age. But actually, when you observe how our body has developed over the milennia to respond to daylight and night time, it isn’t as complex as you might imagine.
Here are some of the people who have found out just how much more they were capable of.
Howard Donald, Take That
“With the tour just round the corner I decided from middle of Jan to upgrade my body’s strength. I searched the area for the right person and thankfully found @thebodymapper
Pete is trained in fitness, sports massage and specialising in movement biomechanics for performance and performers which is well suited to dance. For me this is a no brainer and 6 sessions in I already feel the benefits in my legs, balance and stamina which is what’s needed to give 100% whilst on stage”.
Neil Back, Leicester Tigers, England, British Lions
“When I prepared for club and international rugby matches, I needed a backroom team to help me reach the peak of my performance. Pete was part of a skilled team that I could trust, week in week out, to provide Sports Massage that managed the wear and tear I accrued on the pitch.”
Ben Willbond, Horrible Histories, Bridget Jones’s Baby, Ghosts
“I was working on Horrible Histories, and needed to build up my physical strength, stamina and mental focus for the long days of filming. Pete trained me up and created a mantra that allowed me to shut out distractions and focus on my lines for upcoming scenes. “Pause. Still. Focus. Go” still rings in my ears!
Later Pete joined me on the set of Ghosts to provide much appreciated massage treatments for cast and crew. You don’t know how much you need a massage until you lie on the couch and finally let go of the tension of being on set”.
