I am a 41 year old Advanced Personal Trainer in Brighton and Hove. I am also a qualified Nutritional Advisor and Sports Therapist. In addition, I hold a Master of Science M.Sc. degree from the University of Sussex.
My 2 decades worth of experience of personal training in Brighton and Hove and qualifications to masters degree level sets me apart from other local personal trainers. Most importantly, my interpersonal skills will ensure that I keep you motivated throughout the process. I will make you feel fitter and more confident.
My job as a highly qualified personal trainer in Brighton and Hove is to work with you to find an effective exercise routine that will give you real benefits as quickly as possible without excessive hardship and punishing routines. Because what we do should be fun! And quickly lead to a sense of achievement for you. And this will fast-track your progress and keep you accountable.
I will not judge or criticise anyone for their current level of fitness and strength. Because everyone is an individual with his or her own story to tell and deserves my respect. So firstly, I offer a complimentary introductory consultation where we can discuss any apprehensions you may have.
Above all, and most importantly, I will make you feel comfortable whilst at the same time offering you a new way to look and feel better. I will provide encouragement and motivation to keep you on track. I do this by firstly listening intently to your needs, and then by measuring your progress at regular intervals.
Continued Professional Development
I regularly engage in Continual Professional Development (CPD) to keep my knowledge and skills up to date. As such, I am also fully certified and insured.
I complete a minimum 10 days of further education annually. As a result of this continual learning, I am particularly skilled at training women through pregnancy, the perimenopause and menopause, for instance. I am also trained and qualified to receive GP referrals and training older adults.
Over the past 20 years, I have spent over £30k hiring coaches and experts in different fields to fast-track my progress in health, running and life. This includes working with strength and movement specialists to become a better coach and runner. Moreover, I have found that guidance from experienced coaches can save you years of trial and error. And can help avoid costly mistakes.
Fun and Focussed Personal Training
Another factor that sets me apart is the ability to get results for clients from 2 training sessions of 45 minutes each per week. Many clients lead very busy lives and I have found that 60 minute sessions are too long for clients when also factoring in travel to and from a training session. As a result, I have perfected the correct intensity to get results without the need for longer than necessary training sessions. The science also shows there is simply no need to train for 60 minutes. So 45 minutes is not only more fun, but more efficient and effective!
Professional Standards
I am also a member of The Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity (CIMSPA) in the UK. As a result, I retain my professional status and meet the high standards of training and expertise set by the industry. This is very important when searching for a local fitness trainer.
I am also qualified to the more stringent US standards. This is through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM).
