Mike Oliver - Biography


I joined the Royal Engineers as a junior leader straight from Earlston High School and after basic training in Dover spent the next 6 years serving in Germany with 26-engineer regiment and 32 Armoured Engineer regiment. After completing an Army Physical Training Instructors course I was promoted to LCPL and went on to do tours in Canada, Belize and Norway. During this time I became involved in outdoor adventure sports.

After leaving the army I took all the necessary qualifications to enable me to further my career in the fitness industry. This lead to 10 successful years as a personal trainer and fitness manager in Edinburgh.
I worked with British Military Fitness, which is outdoor army style fitness classes, in London and subsequently back in Edinburgh.

After returning home to the Borders with my young family I took up triathlon, this restored my enthusiasm for adventure sports and the great outdoors.


Mikes Military Mayhem is a culmination of all my Army, fitness and coaching skills.
