I’m the founder of Gearlimits and a sports massage therapist. From judo and athletics as a kid to mountain biking, hiking, kyokushin karate, diving, baseball, golf, windsurfing, rowing, and krav maga: over the years I’ve tried my hand at pretty much every sport out there. These days my focus is on HYROX and trail running, where I put gear to the test under real conditions. That broad sporting background, combined with my work as a sports massage therapist, gives me a sharp eye for what gear is actually worth in practice.
