I’m 66 and I’m semi retired and have been for a while.
I still teach swimming and I try and keep up with my own fight training.
Ive kept this blog open as i think some of the posts are quite useful
I was a PT for over 20- years so Ive got quite a wide variety of experience.
Over 20 years I’ve taught and coached “basic fitness”, basic SABA boxing, Olympic weightlifting, powerlifting , gymnastics and postural/therapeutic training.
Teaching is my passion. Whilst I have all the normal fitness “instructor” qualifications, I also have proper adult teaching qualifications, including Level 5 qualification in English as a foreign language and I tought regular public classes and events.(and still teach swimming)
Apart from being a physical trainer, I was also a Level 5 sport massage therapist so I tend to spot things that need tweaking early so we can get them fixed. I can also “cup” and apply medical acupuncture and I’m also a “rock doc”.( it means I can stick tape over you)
I also spent a long time with a health department delivering GP referral sessions, so I did some work with medical conditions and today I support various clients with disabilities.
I was an advanced first aider ( I probably need to renew my certification)
