Hi, my name is Charles Walker and I live in Ascot. I am a Level 2 Exercise to Music, Circuits, Gym and Aquacise Instructor and also a Kettlebell, Spinning and Boxercise Instructor (REPS number R0030195). I commenced studying for the Level 3 personal trainer certificate with Fitness Industry Education in July 2010. I have just passed the Level 3 Exercise and Fitness Knowledge and also the Health, Fitness & Lifestyle Analysis module (September 2010) and am currently working on the Nutrition & Weight Management module. My plan is to complete the course by February 2011. I have instructed circuits, indoor cycling and aqua classes in local gyms, such as Esporta Bracknell, Fitness Space Ascot, Virgin Active Staines and Sunbury, and the Thames Club in Staines. I have been a freelance instructor since 2005 and started BOOTCAMPASCOT.CO.UK in November 2007 to bring gym equipment into the community in a relaxed environment. I wanted to provide the opportunity to get fit, without having to commit to expensive membership fees and club contracts. I am using a local, well-known, accessible venue with ample parking facilities on Fernbank Road, Ascot. The class currently attracts between 3-16 participants of varying levels of fitness. I was the BOOT in Bootcamp on Wednesdays between 8-9pm at Sunbury Leisure Centre, from March 2010. This Camp has been suspended after the summer break, as the studio has been rented to a contact sport club (Oct 2010). |
