Name: Chris Burford (Founder and Trainer of Team Burford)  Age: 39  Location: Luton Bedfordshire, UK Occupation: Personal Trainer  Height: 5ft 11" Contest Bodyweight: 89kg Favourite Exercise: Barbell Squats and Bench Press   I took up competitive bodybuilding after becoming diabetic in 1994. The process had placed an emphasis on ‘improving lifestyle’ which helped me to manage and control weight as well as diabetes without medication. The tough regime also helped to promote psychological well-being during the early days of my illness and improved my confidence and self-esteem.  I now work as a freelance personal trainer and use the principle of bodybuilding with my clients to help educate about nutrition and physical exercise that gives guaranteed results. I created Team Burford to allow the opportunity for enthusiasts and general gym members to help transform their bodies to a new level of physical development. The success of the team so far gives testament to what hard work, dedication and commitment can achieve.
