He started his fitness education back in 1988 when he was invited by the Young England cricket squad to attend a training camp at Lilleshall National Sports Centre. This early experience of a professional sports environment was where his passion for fitness began, and he quickly realised the importance of a structured and evidence based approach to exercise.

Theo subsequently represented England at U14, U15, U17, U18 and U19 levels, including tours to South Africa, Denmark and Sri Lanka, and in 1993 he signed professional forms with Lancashire County Cricket Club. His career at Old Trafford lasted eight years, which included further tours to South Africa and India, and he regularly played with and against some of the best players in the world such as Andrew Flintoff, Brian Lara, Allan Donald, Wasim Akram, Muttiah Muralitharan, Malcolm Marshall, Michael Vaughan and many others.

After finishing his professional sports career, Theo graduated with distinction from the highly accredited Diploma in Personal Training course from Premier Global - the UK’s leading health & fitness provider. He also gained certification as a fully qualified Sports Therapist and Optimum Sports Nutritionist and went on to launch Utopia Fitness & Wellbeing in 2002 – a personal training company employing the services of local fitness trainers. Utopia subsequently evolved into the present day company, Theo Wood Limited.
