TESTIMONIALS
Sam Maxwell
Professional Boxer
When I was looking to add a nutritionist to my team Ed came highly recommended. Initially I was just looking for help with what to eat to keep my energy levels up whilst making weight, but soon enough realised Ed had a lot more to offer. We not only worked on what I was looking for, but we also worked on some problem areas like sleep, soreness, and cramp. I’m now eating more than ever, feeling great and still making weight. Ed’s now become an integral part of Team Maxwell
I first started working with Ed when I was 16 moving from the Scholarship programme up to the under 18s Academy at Wigan Warriors. Ed helped us a lot with education around the basics of nutrition which was key to my development as I progressed to the seniors When I got into the senior squad we worked at tailoring my nutrition more to me as an individual helping me with my performance, recovery and body comp goals. He was always on hand to answer my questions and help me out when things happened like getting injured or falling ill. It was good to have Ed as a familiar face when Steve McNamara brought me into the England RL Elite Training Squad, as I knew everything nutrition related would be top notch.

I first started working with Ed in 2017 after I came back from the British & Irish Lions tour early due to injury. After sitting down and looking at where I was, my current status and where I wanted to be we worked closely at improving my nutrition. I had been letting my body weight increase a little each season for a few years and with it I felt I had lost some of my explosiveness. Ed and our strength & conditioning coach at the club worked together at improving my body composition and power so that when I returned to play I was where I wanted to be. Plans were simple and to the point for me to follow but Ed was always on hand to explain things in more detail when needed. I couldn’t recommend him more if you want help with your nutrition.
