Andrew Ward Since
finishing at Leeds Metropolitan University with a honours degree in
Sport and Exercise I have always been involved in the sport and leisure
field. Straight after graduation I went to work as a football coach
just outside New York. Upon returning to this country I became a
fitness instructor at Spirit Health clubs in Peterborough, this gave me
a thorough working knowledge of the fitness industry. In 2002 I was
given the opportunity to become a personal trainer with Holmes Place
health club in Nottingham, a club renowned for their level of trainers.
During the next 3 years I built up a successful client base working
with clients to successfully reach a variety of goals. Qualifications - BSc. (Hons) Sport and Exercise Science

Following years of
training from a purely personal perspective, I got into personal
training as a way of supplementing my winter seasonal work as a ski
shop manager in a French Alpine ski resort where I have been recognised
as the ski boot fitting expert and provider of orthotics in the area.
Personal Training and Sports Therapy qualifications put me head and
shoulders above others in my field, allowing me to see every day
problems more clearly with a biomechanics and physiological approach.
In the intervening summers since qualification in 2001, I ran a small
business in my home town providing personal training, fitness and
nutritional advice and sports therapy through a local gym. The
following summer I headed for the south of France to hunt down the rich
and famous, offering personal training and massage services to yachts
and villas in and around St.Tropez, Antibes and Monte Carlo. This was
not only a lot of fun but successful as well. I have been a sportsman
all my life, playing football religiously until my skiing days began
and I also began competing on skis two seasons ago. I have great
interest in many other sports as well. I have management experience in
a pressure environment and have exceptional inter personal skills and
motivational abilities. My future now lies wholly in the fitness
industry, using a holistic approach, blending massage therapies and
personal training with a further view to advising on orthotics and body
alignment, if necessary, to provide good foundations for clients to
work from.Qualifications
