About

Ambitious and award winning Sports Coach with broad experience in all aspects of club and fitness management. Direct experience within 5*, 24 hour and franchise gyms and health clubs. Specialist history in Football Coaching, Club Management and high quality member retention. Proven track record in delivering targets on sales, B2B selling and opening and designing gym plans on budget and on time. I have the required skills to retain, coach and manage in all aspects of sport and leisure.

Currently located in Dubai after moving from Birmingham UK in August 2014. I work for the biggest training provider in the Middle East as Education and Training Director. I develop and distribute training courses directly to major health and fitness companies around the Middle East which include; Fitness First, Gold's Gym, Talise Fitness, GEM's High schools, Universities and U.A.E Military. I provide training courses for organisations in Iran, India, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. I work closely with Master Trainers and tutors for Les Mills Modules, Quarterly Workshops and PTA Global Certificates. I help build and maintain strong working relationships with venue managers, delivery partners and a range of internal stakeholders including Sales, Curriculum, Quality, IT, HR and Finance teams. I'm also a qualified Assessor and Internal Verifier and work closely with FitPro and Active IQ on the Level 2 Fitness and Level 3 Personal Trainer Qualifications.

My objective is to continue my growth in the sport and fitness industry and become a recognised figure in the health and fitness industry.
