Introduction By WGC

Neil Cameron is probably one of the longest standing competitors into X Training. Neil was introduced to the sport when as a PTI in the Royal Marines, he found that when he stopped playing football and boxing for the Royal Marines he needed that something extra that was individually more challenging and would always keep his focus on training in the gym. It was as Neil was leaving the Royal Marines that he met one of the most famous names in X Training history, Darren Robson another Royal Marine PTI and arguably the most respected name in X Training history and was introduced to the sport.

Neil was hooked shortly after and an impressive array of titles both as a Royal Marine and Firefighter followed.

1996-Tropicana UKXTC-5th,Welsh Ultrafit-6th and team winners[Royal Marines].

Whatever the case it is with Neil, when he competes no one would ever argue that he does not give it 100% and when the treadmill station arrives - those that have ever dreamed about what is possible on this machine - will see exactly that.

Neil has earned the respect of fellow competitors as somebody who is a great ambassador for the sport and also someone who has achieved so many titles in the only sport that really challenges every aspect of gym life - making him a very worthy nominee for X Trainer of the Year.

Well done to Neil, who has over the years put in some of the best performances ever seen at X Training Challenges. Coming back into the sport in 2007 is definitely X Training's gain.

Neil represents the fact that it takes a certain individual of spirit, character and determination to be at the top of this sport and his chosen careers as a Royal Marine and Firefighter enhances his profile as one of the most respected X Trainers in the sport today.
