Dean Maden is one of life’s nice guys. With Dean’s large and impressive physique comes and even bigger heart. Dean a family man and owner of his own Fitness Facility in Loughborough called the Functional Fitness Centre. It’s here that he regularly transforms people as much mentally as he does physically. Listening to Dean speak about Health & Fitness his passion for both his own achievements as well as his clients results shines through. Not only does Dean own and run a successful private gym but he is also in the middle of competing in Strongman Competitions with the aim of getting to The World’s Strongest Man. What makes this feat so impressive is that when he was younger he suffered a debilitating injury that the doctors said he would never come back from. They told him he wouldn’t be able to squat ever again. Dean obviously ignored this “advice” and had his own ideas on whether this would be the end of the line for him. Needless to say he beat the odds and he not only is squatting again but he is doing so with weight that makes people stand in shock.

However, more important than that is getting guests on who can share their experiences with you. Listening to people that have broken through barriers and beat the odds is both inspirational and motivating and lets us know that statistics mean nothing to the individual and that you are the true leader on your journey.
