Here I worked in the Ray Wilson California Fitness Centre where I gained a Personal Training qualification. I worked alongside some very experienced Personal Trainers who were Ex Athletes, Power Lifters and various forms of other sports.
I also worked closely with Chiropractors, Osteopaths & Sports Massage Therapists, which is where the learning curve really started, allowing me to work with clientele from all backgrounds.
