Kieran Venison

Hi, I’m Kieran, the founder of TemperedStrength.

I’m super passionate about fitness. That’s why I started TemperedStrength: it’s a site for lifters, by lifters. It’s a passion project aimed at delivering quality content to anyone who’s interested.

My background is in development, a pretty sedentary job. On top of that, I worked in the centre of Manchester and drank a lot… like, a lot a lot. After years of that routine, I flipped the script in 2020. I stopped drinking and started training.

Comically, my idea of training back then was watching the Insanity program, rinsing through it, and then doing it all over again. I’ve come a long way since then and now have a love for pretty much any sport that involves lifting!

Olympic lifting, Hyrox, CrossFit, and bodybuilding are my main sport-based passions.
