About Leading Edge Fitness
With over eight years experience as a personal trainer and over 20 years of training experience I have seen a lot of different training techniques. Some very good, some just poor.
There are millions of web pages and hundreds of fitness magazines explaining to you what you should or shouldn’t be doing. As a trainer I even struggle to keep up with the latest fitness crazes and gimmicks. Plus you know the products that you use with good intention for a few weeks then just store them in the spare room to hang washing on without achieving the goal you had with using the machine.
Then a few months and a few extra kilos down the line the next all singing, all dancing fitness product comes out and the cycle starts again… Sound familiar?
My training style will get you to your goal which you will be able to maintain. It is not a quick fix gimmick. It does, however, require focus, commitment and hard work. My training method consists of correctional exercise through stretching and functional training to help improve posture and prevent injury as your training progresses. Also I will use a number of classic tried and tested exercises to help you to your goal.
Endurance athletes will do all the above and also a number of cardiovascular workouts. As a runner, cyclist and climber I have suffered from a number of injuries which could have easily been avoided if I knew the risks to my posture with poor training and over dominant muscle groups. This training method will make sure you build the strength and endurance you need and reduce the risk of injury due to poor training.
I’m a personal trainer in Claremont, Cape Town. Recently I moved to South Africa with my wife and son from the UK. Where I have been in the fitness industry personal training for 8 years. I have been involved with a variety of sports and endurance activities for many years. I particularly love road cycling, rock climbing, mountain biking, hiking and running. I have climbed and cycled throughout Europe, South East Asia, Australia and South Africa over the last 20 years. I enjoy passing on the skills I have learnt to help others attain their personal fitness and training goals.
I hold a diploma in Personal Training from YMCA London together with a PREMIER Resisted Movement Training (RMT) certification. In addition I have completed a certification in Vibrotraining (level 1 and 2).
