Have you ever wondered how soldiers do what they do mentally and physically? All the respect goes out to them, how much they endure and put their body through. Even more so, how do they get to that point of strength and keeping fit, practice being mentally and physically strong? Well, we want to introduce you to our latest Uptown Style health contributor Rome Wilkinson, he’s overpassed +600k follower on his Tiktok with his most-watched workout video with 5.5m views, but for the biggest intro of all, we will let him do the writing…
Names Rome Wilkinson, I’m a serving soldier of the 1st battalion the Mercian Regiment, after returning from the frontline of Afghanistan I found a love for fitness and a passion for training others, the gym has been my safe place ever since.
My job title is a Physical Training Instructor and my role is to keep soldiers fit and ready to deploy on operations.
I’ve been serving now for over 10 years and with the passion, I have for training others to become better versions of themselves I don’t see that changing any time soon, all I want is to push people past what they think they’re capable of, people can do so much more than they think they can, sometimes they just need a little motivation.
