<h2><b>Don’t Just Take My Word For It!</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Now, something I hope you know me for is being very honest about being a sales person. If something isn’t a good fit for you, I will tell you, and if I believe you should it then I’ll tell you that too.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">However, I always encourage those of you showing an interest in our workshops to speak to any of the practitioners we have trained. Why do I do this? </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Well, because it’s my business, so your thought process is going to be… “of course you’re going to tell me to do it”. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">And actually, it’s great for you to hear from someone who perhaps was in a similar position to where you are now, and to hear and see how they have taken the qualification and what they have done with it.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">This blog is an example of that from Graham, who recently attended the full Diploma in Biomechanics Coaching at the end of 2019. Graham owns <a href="https://missionfitnessuk.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Mission Fitness</a> with daughter in 2013.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">While he is still in the process of completing some home study to gain his full Diploma in Biomechanics Coaching certificate, he is very keen to share his experience with those of you yet to decide on whether to commit to the course or not.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">So I will pass this blog over to him to tell you in his own words what his experience has been like so far….</span>

&nbsp;
<h1><b>Graham Pardew (Military ELCAS), From Retiring From The Armed Forces, Becoming A Personal Trainer And Now Biomechanics Coach</b></h1>
&nbsp;
<h2><b>Why did you decide to join the Biomechanics Coach diploma?</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“When I retired from the Armed Forces in December 2012, I decided to go into the fitness industry, an area I had devoted much of my time in the military and something which I have always had a real passion for. I used my first ELCAS grant to become a Personal Trainer and opened a small gym with my daughter in February 2013.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">At this time, I was still lacking in sufficient depth of knowledge in anatomy and physiology and the general functionality of how the body works and reacts in a health and fitness environment.  However, there were no ELCAS listed providers with the appropriate knowledge and skills for me to undertake such a course.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Fortunately, I saw Rachel France in action (Director Biomechanics Education), at a very popular Fitness Expo.  I was blown away by her knowledge and passion, her team’s skills and experience. Her company soon gained service provider status and I immediately checked out the details online and spoke to her in person.  The course criteria would definitely meet all my requirements and more! I successfully applied for the course starting monthly workshops in August 2019.</span>

&nbsp;

&nbsp;
<h2><b>What Did You Like About The Biomechanics Coach Diploma?</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I had already completed many other fitness related courses, but none of them gave me the breadth of knowledge, skills, confidence and such useful practical workshops, provided by a very capable company with the best instructors and such a wide cross-section of health and fitness professionals.  </span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The course joining process was clear and simple, supporting administration and course manuals top form and content of the five 2-day workshops spot on !!  </span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The Instructor was extremely professional and obviously very knowledgeable across a wide range of areas, easily able to explain in as much detail or ‘lay-man’ terms as required.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The balance of theory and practical was very good.  The workshops are mainly practical in nature, which is exactly what is required to obtain the necessary safe and effective skills to become a fully qualified ‘Biomechanics Coach’.  </span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">I really loved the ‘hands-on’ approach which was very new to me and although I was very nervous and lacked experience, was soon made to feel at ease and quickly gained the necessary techniques required.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Students were extremely well prepared for the practical examination and case studies, which took a lot of pressure from them requiring to do additional research in their own times.</span>

&nbsp;
<h2><b>What benefits have you had as a result of doing the Biomechanics Coach diploma?</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">This course is a particularly niche area, which can be used to pursue an independent career as a ‘Biomechanics Coach’, or to supplement many other professions, such as Personal Trainer, Sports Massage Therapists, Osteopaths, Rugby coaches, Pilates Instructors et al.  I will certainly be using all the knowledge and skills gained to provide much needed ‘clinics’ to clients in the local area.  </span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">There are many Fitness Trainers out there but not many Biomechanics Coaches!  This course can add a much-needed extra skill to your portfolio and a better opportunity to get more clients and expand your business.</span>

&nbsp;
<h2><b>What would say to others who are thinking about doing the Biomechanics Coach diploma? Or perhaps have left/are leaving the armed forces and looking for a course to complete?</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">If you have already left, or are planning to leave the forces in the near future, I would strongly encourage you to complete this course.  This is without doubt the most professional company I have had the privilege to work with since my retirement and fully endorse them and the course and hope that they get better visibility across the three services and MOD”</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Thank you Graham!</span>
