NAME JOHN CHAPMAN | @johnphillipchapman

■ Chapman, who also has a decade of personal training and nutrition coaching under his belt, started what is probably the first UK fitness channel with his friend Leon Bustin: the Lean Machines, which today broadcasts to a bulky 438,000 subscribers. An author and CrossFit Level-1 coach for good measure, Chapman will show you how to train hard, eat smart and feel happy about it.

■ Favourite workout

It’s all about the atmosphere! Olympic lifting with big tunes and even bigger people is always a winner.

■ Special skill

I’m actually a trained carpenter, too.

■ Rest day looks like…

Indian food, Guinness and watching The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers more times than is healthy.

“Be better than yesterday. The only way to make that happen is to truly sell yourself today”
