Ruari became vegan in 2017 after watching the documentary Earthlings. He later got into fitness and found a love for bodybuilding, but struggled to find a coach that was both vegan and an experienced bodybuilder. He chose to take up the challenge and become a certified personal trainer (NASM) and nutritionist (Precision Nutrition). Growing up in Devizes, UK (a small farm town) he felt there was more for him out there and has now travelled over 20+ countries, gaining a greater understanding of culture, communication and people. He has a genuine love for people and learning their stories, and is passionate about creating a unique experience by helping people overcome their obstacles and therefore achieving things they never thought were possible.
