Lee Boyce: Train your body better!

Well, this interview will answer your questions. Lee Boyce, one of the fitness industry’s most respected voices, explains how understanding your body’s proportions – things like height and limb length – can revolutionise your training, minimising your pain and maximising your gains. 
 
With a career including almost 20 years of gym floor experience, and as the co-author of the leading text on the subject of anthropometry, Boyce has not only transformed countless lives through his coaching but has also significantly impacted the industry through his prolific writing and educational endeavours.
 
Boyce’s approach to individualised training is a testament to both the depth of his knowledge and his practical experience.

Lee Boyce: Quick-fire Q&A

A significant part of Boyce’s unique expertise lies in anthropometry: the study of human body measurements.

This book has been hailed as a game-changer in the fitness industry, providing a comprehensive guide to tailoring exercises based on one’s unique body structure.

From his days as a university-level sprinter and long jumper to becoming a leading member of the fitness industry, Boyce’s story is one of passion, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. He reflects on how he’s improved his approach with clients over the years, and on how a major injury actually helped him become a better coach.

Outside academia Boyce has been published more than 1300 times in leading fitness and lifestyle publications, including Men’s Health, T-Nation and The Wall Street Journal. He credits this ability to translate complex and often esoteric concepts into digestible and actionable advice as one of the main reasons he’s had such success as a trainer.
