George Heaton: ‘Not Many People in Fashion Are Diligent With Fitness’ – Men’s Health UK

Fitness Comments Off on George Heaton: ‘Not Many People in Fashion Are Diligent With Fitness’ – Men’s Health UK

Looking like a fitness model is one thing. But feeling strong, fit and energised is something very different. For George Heaton co-founder of British streetwear

Along with his brother Michael, Heaton founded Represent in 2011. But only in the past five years has he really started to take his training seriously a fact that makes him stick out among the fashion crowd, he says.

I was always a morning person I was never a heavy drinker and wouldnt take a load of drugs or whatever. That was never me, he tells MH. When you think about creatives in fashion or the arts, you have this idea of people whose outlets and hobbies arent quite as healthy... Thats something that kind of held me back for a while because I thought I had to be that way. Everyone in fashion is nocturnal and theyre up at night drinking. Not many people in fashion are extremely diligent with fitness.

But Heaton chose to do things his own way. Today, his training comprises everything from functional fitness and marathon-running to CrossFit and bodybuilding. Running, in particular, has played a significant role in his creative output.

What Id read about running is that the high and how you feel after a workout is a form of creative expression, he says. [I thought], Why cant I try to figure out if thats the way it works for me? I found an area where I could express what Im feeling on those long runs. For me, thats when Im actually thinking about things and where the best ideas come from. Youre finding that sense of stillness where the creativity can come through.

With his Represent 247 clothing range which is designed to be stylish enough for everyday wear, but functional enough for the gym Heaton believes he can help others make the transition into fitness-as-a-lifestyle, too.

A lot of our customers were that guy who was drinking at night and partying and not into their fitness. Now theyve changed their lives through the brand, he says.
