Tel: 07549918231 - Site: www.one2onegym.co.uk
In June 2015, I graduated from John Moores University, Liverpool where I studied sports science and football. Whilst studying I continued my interest in football and went on to complete my level 1,2 & 3 in performance analysis through Prozone Sports Ltd and level 1 coaching badge through the IFA. Alongside this I also gained experience as a Strength and conditioning coach working with the academy squads at Crewe Alexandra Football club and the Irish Football Association. As soon as I graduated I continued to broaden my knowledge and gained a qualification of REPS level 3 in Personal Training. I am always seeking to increase my knowledge; continually reading, researching and developing new ideas and I hope to obtain further qualifications over the years.
With regards to my own fitness program I like to keep things varied and maintain an active interest in all sports. I have a keen interest particularly in football, which I have been involved with from a very young age. I currently play for Saintfield United in the Amateur league. In order to maintain performance I regularly attend the gym specifically involving weight training, plyometrics and conditioning.
I am now pursuing a career in health and fitness by setting up as an independent Personal Trainer at One 2 One Physiotherapy. I aim to educate clients through the process of one to one training and make sure every session is tailored with your specific goals in mind whether it be fitness, weight loss, injury rehabilitation and performance. I will offer support for all aspects of health, both inside and outside the gym to help you achieve your current goals and strive to set new ones.
