25 Random Facts You Probably Didn’t Know About Me (Revisited)
Posted by Dax Moy on February 27, 2011
It’s been 2 years since I first wrote my 25 facts post and it was such good fun I thought I’d put it up again and bring it up to date a little.
Wanna share YOUR 25 Random or Little Known fact about YOU?
I dare ya!
Dax
1. Even though I consider myself a Londoner, I was actually born in Solihull in the West Midlands so I’m more of a brummie than a cockney. That said, I now live in Loughton, Essex so I’m a weird brummie, cockney, Essex boy hybrid… strange!
2. I was born 20th September 1970 meaning that I’m 40 now which is truly amazing to me as I don’t feel like a grown up yet : )
3. I’ve been married for 20 years this April 18th to my best friend and love of my life, Deana. We met when I was still 17 on a blind date. I took her on a charity run around an assault course.
4. I’m a father of 4 kids; Kayleigh 21, Reece 20, Sara 17 and Connor 10. Kayleigh writes poetry and music, Reece is applying to join the Royal Marines, Sara recently finished school and Conner can deadlift 45kg with ease at 32kg bodyweight.
5. I grew up on housing estates most of my life and most of my clothing came from second hand stores or charity shops until I was about 14 as we were dirt poor. I now have most of my shirts made by tailors in Thailand but still feel most comfortable in cargo shorts and flip flops than ‘tarted up’
6. I was under 16 London, Middlesex and home counties boxing champion and am more than proficient in Aikido, Ju-Jitsu and various other martial arts as well as military unarmed combat fighting techniques.
7. My name ‘Dax’ comes from a Harold Robins novel called ‘The Adventurers’. The hero’s name was ‘Diogenes AlexandrosXenos’ but his family called him Dax for short.
8. I hated my name until I was about 15 and had many fight with kids who would take the piss.
9. My other brothers are called Kaz and Scott.
10. Kaz died 3 years ago alone in his apartment. I found his body after 2 weeks.
11. I joined the Airborne forces at age 16 and later transferred to the Royal Marines which is considered the ultimate blasphemy. I later served in a surveillance and target acquisition role which I loved.
(me abseiling out of a sea-king over the French Alps – my 4 man patrol was chased all over the mountains)
12. I’ve worked as a soldier, bodyguard, streetsweeper, roofer, scaffolder, builder and sewerworker though I still identify myself first and foremost as a soldier, even today. I still do mental rehearsals of my weapon handling and grenade priming drills daily as a matter of course.
13. I didn’t learn to drive until I was 28. I passed first time. My first car was a second-hand Nissan Bluebird, my second and third were Landrover Discovery’s and my current car is a Landrover Discovery 3 that I bought brand new 5 years ago.
14. I have stayed in the Ice hotel in Norway with Deana. We also saw the Northern lights and went on a snowmobile safari during that trip. I also complained bitterly about the £10-a-pint beer.
15. I am the most expensive personal trainer in the UK at the time of writing, as well as being the most expensive trainer in the World with my £17,000 a week Personal Trainer Elite program
16. I completed the 185 mile Amazon Jungle marathon on 2003 despite dislocating my hip on day 2.
17. I’ve appeared on every terrestrial TV channel in the UK and pretty much all of the top magazines
18. Injuries love me. if there’s a way to become physically injured doing something, I’ll find it, including being blown 500 ft down the side of mountains, falling 18 feet from waterfalls onto rocks or being burned by fireworks. I’ve broken most of the bones in my body at one time or another.
19. I stabbed my violent alcoholic father through the heart when I was 15 in defence of my mother. I also resuscitated him and kept him alive until paramedics came. I was charged with attempted murder but when he recovered he refused to press charges.
20. I read around 120-150 books a year without fail and have done so for most of my adult life. My Amazon habit runs to about £200 a month or more.
21. I survived the tsunami with my family. Some of the people I tried to rescue and resuscitate didn’t.
22. I’m not religious at all but am deeply spiritual. I’ve read the Bible, the Koran, Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, Tripitaka, Talmud and more. My beliefs are mostly a Buddhist as it is more a philosophy than a religion and does not force doctrine upon its followers. I believe in God but don’t believe that religion is the path to finding him/her/it. That said, I genuinely respect the right of each person to choose the path that makes the most sense to them.
23. In the last 4 years I’ve been to Thailand 25 times, Cambodia, Vietnam, Australia twice, Norway, Bali, Singapore, Egypt, Florence, Pisa, Rome, Venice, Lake Como, Cannes, Monte Carlo, Nice and Florida. I LOVE travel!
24. I parachuted 15,000 over the Great Barrier Reef with my daughter Kayleigh when she was 15.
25. I’m the first homeowner in my family for about 5 generations. I plan to buy a new house outright within the next 12 months from the proceeds of working a seriously crazy year in 2011. I know the price and am willing to pay it.
Bonus**
26. I have been very fortunate in my life to be blessed with the knowledge of my purpose and my route to achieving that purpose. It is “to have a major definite impact on the life of every person I come into contact with… through the medium of health, wellness and mindset”. Knowing this, I can measure every activity I engage in every single day against my bigger purpose and know that I am on track… or not!
Accountability
So this it…
Here is the shape I’ve fallen into since summer 2010.
For me this is out of shape.
And it was a good wake-up call after the freezer of milk chocolate candies and gar-bage eating led to this… and lack of hardcore training too.
Last week I placed an order for new supplements and I began accepting that I need to do a better job of BEING MYSELF (the flagship and prinicipal beach body at my Marshfield Fitness studio).
So here’s what I’m doing.
Posting pictures of myself.
Now be aware they are compression shorts. I figure if I’m gonna be accountable I may as well be so to the limit… embarassing as it may be.
And these pix are from the same day.
The top row displays pix without changing the camera’s lighting option (natural light).
The bottom row is the camera’s setting with the ‘sunset’ option turned on which pictures it closer to true light. So they were taken within minutes of one another.
And this is what I’m going to do…
***1. Each meal I will tweet over at www.Twitter.com/RobertBelley which is my personal Twitter account. Kinda funny but I’ve had one for years… before the hype blew up!
But there you’ll be able to read what I feed myself and see a pic of it through my DROID.
***2. Give some example of the session I have each day over at Twitter too!
***3. I will also be posting this stuff in part here on this blog, but also over at our company Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Robert-Belley-Fitness-Marshfields-Funnest-Fat-Loss-Beach-Body-Studio/174797574837
***4. I will be coming out with a special announcement soon for you all to ALSO Beach Body the Belley Fitness way 😉
If you’d like spread some comments below about your ideas but also be nice… ha ha.
It takes a lot of “_________ insert word choice here” to post near naked pictures of yourself online free of a tan, being in your NORMAL shape and unshaven.
Live the dream kiddies,
Rob

Organic gets Walmart
I know it’s almost taboo to enjoy Walmart. After all, they have nearly depleted the entire field of ‘Ma & Pa’ small business and general stores. But as of late I’ve become a fan of their cold grocer section.
Wishing YOU the best in 2011

Something Cool Happened to Me in Fall 2010
So for those of you who see me regularly at Robert Belley Fitness in Marshfield, you all know something really cool happened to me in the fall of 2010.
Nothing outrageous worldly speaking but definitely a pick-me-up and actualization personally.
I’ve reached a whole NEW level of fitness.
In short, I owe a lot of it to some tough and consistent training the last 2 years: talking double and triple session afternoon and evenings some weeks in a row.
I’d have to thank the start of all this with climbs up Mount Washington in New Hampshire, Running a couple Marathons (Boston 2009, Cape Cod 2010) and experiencing a couple of Death Races (2009, 2010) in Vermont’s Green Mountains with someone much much fitter than myself: Captain Michael Signori.
In between these challenges, I trained like crazy some weeks. Performing my own hellish workout then doing a couple extra for laughs and extra burn. Even training alongside training family clients to test their and my own fitness level.
The greatest part of all though, is that 2 years later, I’m in the best physical-endurance-strength-mental clarity shape of my life. Sure I’ve had some ups and downs with nutrition. And had some terrible workouts in there. But I never stopped driving forward or pushing.
At the studio last night, while Katie O’Hara Shannahan was performing 30 minutes on the AirDyne, and I was practicing my Jump Shot, we spoke about drive and determination.
I don’t believe you can teach those two characteristics, but you can learn something about them.
(1) It comes from within
(2) Behaving consistently encourages drive-like behavior for those who lack internal drive
Tom Brady was Katie and I’s example. To watch Tom Brady quarterback is brilliant. He is relentless. In much the same way Michael Jordan was with basketball. If he throws a bad pass or the play doesn’t work out he jumps right into the next play without hesitation or fear of throwing another bad bullet. Much the way Jordan wouldn’t stop shooting if he was having an off
night. Complete consistency is the key to the next level.
Accepting that you will fail, and will just have to work immediatly through it is HUGE for creating the best result.
I’ve had some terrible workouts in the last couple years, and by terrible I am reffering to low-energy, poor lifts and feeling as if I were stuck in quicksand.
>>> BUT YOU JUST KEEP DRIVING FORWARD >>>
Nothing should get in the way of the outcome.
It may be sloppy sometimes, but by sticking at it CONSISTENTLY, you will achieve the very thing you WANT most.
I promise.
Live a little dream dreamers 😉

Motivation is Energy. Bachelor Party Proof
I am asked, or here near daily “I don’t know how you do it”.
It’s usually in reference to the fact that I run off minimal amounts of sleep with lots of activity placed in between. Be it weekdays or weekends.
But energy breeds energy.
And more so, motivation breeds energy.
This past weekend I attended a bachelor party for one of my best friends, JP.
To say the least I’m not your normal bachelor party kind of guy:
* I do not enjoy playing poker
* I do not gamble
* I do not enjoy strip clubs
* I do not enjoy cigars
* I do not enjoy golf
There goes many of the “traditional” bachelor party festivities. I have lots of fun in my life. Too much some would say =) But those do nothing for me.
However, it’s funny how when the atmosphere is right, people all of a sudden find the energy to stay awake for hours on end.
We didn’t go to bed (from a Saturday bachelor party) until Sunday afternoon.
A handful of us stayed awake and alert beyond most people’s frame of reference for a party.
But we had amazing motivation. We we’re having so much fun we didn’t want it to end.
I slept and was up by 2pm on Sunday. Then began a day filled with hangouts and such.
But people ask how I function off so little.
It’s because I always find the motivator.
I fill my life with so many best friends, experiences and opportunities that I constantly have a reason to Go Go Go!
Same goes with fitness and diet.
You need motivators to Go Go Go!
Sign up for a charity race. Center your efforts around getting a flat tummy. Commit yourself to an outrageous fitness event and tell everyone you’re doing it.
Create your MOTIVATORS.
With your new motivation, you’ll find energy like crazy!
And if you couple that with nutritional eating. As in 100% compliance, you’ll be dashing around like The Flash!
Live Your Dream!
