Nice work Josh!!

<b>Your biography in brief;</b>

I have been working in the fitness industry for 10 years now. After leaving school I played full time football for 3 years, with that I developed what can be best described as a habit for training and it seemed natural to go into the fitness industry. I have since qualified as a personal trainer, sports massage therapist as well as a Specialist Biomechanics Coach™. Having worked mainly as a personal trainer in a few different gyms, I am now back in the gym I started in, Total fitness Bolton.

Along the way, because of my Biomechanics Coaching™ skills, I have worked with professional golfers and football teams as well as amateurs of many different sports and these are the types of clients that I really enjoy working with.

Now I have also achieved a career goal of a full time position with a professional football team. Sadly it was short lived however after realising that being involved as staff rather than a player was very different.

Outside of work I am recently married, golf obsessed and a frequenter of as many food establishments as possible.

<b>What made you choose Biomechanics Coaching™?</b>

I first came across Biomechanics Coaching™ when Martin presented a seminar to a personal training company I worked for. First of all, I really enjoyed Martin’s style of presentation and his way of thinking, but the content is what really resonated with me. I then looked at the website, found out a little bit more and booked onto the course at my first opportunity.

At the time I didn’t have much of a plan to take it forward but I certainly knew I needed to have this knowledge and this better understanding of how the body works. And above all else I thought I owe it to my clients to be training them properly.

<b>What do you specialise in outside of Biomechanics Coaching™?</b>

I specialise in sporting performance, particularly golf and football as I play both of these which enables me to have a good understanding. Particularly golf as it a more popular discipline to train for.

<b>Where would you like to see yourself in ten years from now?</b>

In ten years’ time I hope to be reaping the rewards of what I am building now. Currently I am working on a website to help golfers train properly with online coaching. Also I am studying hard to improve my knowledge of the actually golf swing, which is possibly the most complicated thing I have come across so it’s slow progress. However in 10 years I hope that it is up and running and profitable.

It would be great to have a few high profile clients whose intrinsic biomechanics I could work on, preferably PGA tour players. This would nicely raise my profile and get the word out about the magic of Biomechanics Coaching™.

I would also like a have plenty of spare time to spend with the wife, hopefully a family and play golf of course.

<b>What would be your advice to somebody thinking of becoming a Biomechanics Coach™?</b>

To anyone thinking about becoming a Biomechanics Coach™ I would say you really should do it. Most education within the fitness industry feels like an add on course but this is genuinely a new way and approach to exercise. You will get a far better understanding of how to train you clients safely, you will get better results, you will not lose clients due to injury and you will gain clients through reputation. It will, as it has done for me, open up a lot of other opportunities. The way of thinking you gain as well will certainly benefit you.

<b>On the journey to where you are now what has been your achievements? </b>

<i>Personally</i> a great achievement of mine is building a business that allows me to both enjoy my work and have plenty of time for my many hobbies.

<i>Sporting </i>wise, an achievement of mine is making a hole in one in a pro-am event

My <i>career high</i> was consulting for West Ham United.

<b>Tell us a secret or something interesting about you that not many people know about you:</b>

A secret might be that I play the guitar pretty well but it’s not that interesting so I should admit.

If I didn’t enjoy what I do so much, I would like to be a traffic warden, no joke!

LOVE your honesty Josh!

Thank you and well done....would you like to join our academy and gain some of the skills Josh has?
