Despite having lost his left leg below the knee he is extremely fit and healthy due to his weight training regime. Whilst training, Choleton met a professional body builder, who had a part in Gladiator, and because of his physique recommended him to the Casting Director. Due to his studying for a degree at university and exams, sadly Choleton was not able to commit to the film.

However, as he enjoyed training so much he decided to make a career out of it. As well as being a Personal Trainer, he also teaches classes in spin, circuit training and core stability. Choleton has successfully completed the 10 stage sky diving "A" class license and holds a PADI Advanced Diving Certificate. He is learning to snow board which he finds on a par with sky diving for both fun and intensity.

Choleton participated in the BBC2 series of Beyond Boundaries shown in 2006. He completed the journey. Checkout his profile on Beyond Boundaries - Africa.
