About John

John has always been involved with sport and fitness, but his route into the fitness industry hasn't been the most conventional, starting with a degree in maths from the University of Bath followed by several years working as a software engineer.

His love of sport and fitness continued throughout though, until he decided to completely change direction and pursue a career in the fitness industry. He now holds the following:

  • CYQ Certificate in Personal Training
  • CYQ Certificate in Gym-based Instruction
  • CYQ Certificate in Advanced Instructing Gym
  • CYQ Certificate in Nutrition & Weight Management
  • CYQ Certificate in Client Lifestyle & Fitness Assessment
  • CYQ Certificate in Training in Different Environments
  • CYQ Certificate in Business Marketing Skills for the Fitness Professional
John is a level 3 member of REPS (Register of Exercise Professionals), an organisation set up to help regulate the fitness industry and safeguard the interests of people using the services of fitness professionals.

John also tries to keep as active as he can in what spare time he has, enjoying cycling, rock climbing, squash, tennis, competing in 'Tough Guy' adventure races and playing his main sport of badminton. He is a qualified badminton coach, member of local badminton club Ramblers and member of the Cambridgeshire county badminton first team, currently in ICC division 2.
